"Celebrating the Uniqueness of Every Child"
ANNOUNCEMENTS
1.  Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have been forced to
change our telephone number.  Please make a note of the new
number, (530) 872-7310

2.  Please get ready for the first semester reporting requirements.  You
will need to submit your grades and attendance for the first semester
during the first week of February.  We thank all of you in advance for
reporting promptly!

3.  We would like to remind everyone to please take note of our office
hours, which are Monday through Friday from 2p.m.-6p.m.  Please refer
to these office hours when calling about routine school business.
While we take your questions and school business seriously and
enjoy being in contact with our families, we are experiencing the need
to enforce our office hours at this time to allow us to maximize our own
teaching and family time, and to avoid abuses of our willingness to
answer the phone.  We hope that this announcement will put a stop to
some issues we have been facing, such as routine business calls after
9p.m., when our children are asleep, and calls that interrupt our own
children's lessons.  Please remember that we are ALWAYS available
for EMERGENCIES, such as a negative contact from a government or
school official, or for new enrollments where immediate action is
required, such as a school situation that is dangerous or damaging to
the child.  In those cases, please feel free to call ANY TIME, day or
night. Thank you in advance for your understanding!

4.  We are sometimes away from the phone temporarily, even during
our business hours.  If this is the case, please leave a message and
your call will be returned as soon as possible.  Keep in mind that, while
we try to return all phone calls the same day, we may have to return
your call the next business day.  If you do not receive a call the same
day, it may be because we were dealing with an emergency or other
urgent situation.  Thank you for your patience.

5.  PLEASE be well prepared if you are planning to make changes to
your child's educational plans, such as a move, change of school, etc.,
or if you will be needing proof of enrollment or grades at a certain time
for government programs, etc.  We will no longer be dropping
everything to prepare transcripts or other paperwork on a moments
notice, so please be prepared and send in notice and documentation
accordingly.  We require written notice 30 days in advance if you plan
to move your student to another school, and all applicable
documentation needs to be included at that time.
These documents do not just appear- they have to be created, and
require documentation to ensure their accuracy.  If you require rush
service, please submit your written notice, documentation, and a
check or money order in the amount of $30.00 and note that you
require rush service, and we will provide the needed documentation
within 7 business days.  We don't want to be harsh, but this has
become a huge problem.  Transcripts and grade reports do not just
materialize over night.  It takes time to prepare and mail these
documents.  Please give us the time we need to do the work right.
