High Achievers For November Math Connor Crego Reading Hannah Schleifer Reading Counts Congratulations to our latest MILLIONAIRE One Million Words Sarah Foster Absent Child Calling Penn-Delco School District has many programs in place to help insure the safety of our students. One is the Absent Child Calling Line. If a parent has not called a student out of school before 9:00 a.m. a call will automatically go out to the parent to let them know their student is not in school. This is to insure the parent is informed as soon as possible should a student be absent from school without their knowledge. When your student will not be in school, just call , extension # It is a 24 hour answering machine and you just leave a message. Please leave your student s name, teacher, and reason for absence. Also, if you are requesting homework for your student you may leave the request at the same time. Just let us know if you will be picking the homework up or having it brought home with another student. Due to the teacher s busy schedules, homework cannot be picked up before 2:30 p.m. Also, homework requests received after 9:30 a.m. may not be filled. Emergency Calling Reminder: *Inclement weather may soon be upon us. Please remember, in the event of an early dismissal, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to find out about the school closing. School Closings are posted on: the district web site, the Penn-Delco TV station (Comcast - channel 11) (Verizon FiOS- channel 40) and the district hotline ( ). If you would like a courtesy call from the PTL, please make sure you have given them your emergency contact numbers. If you have put in for a courtesy call it is important that you are available for a phone call or check your voice mail messages regularly during the day. Also, please update these numbers as needed.

6 The word of the month for December is Caring. Here at Aston Elementary School we have many ways for our students to show a caring spirit for the holidays. There are many needs around us, and we can t meet them all, but any contribution you may be able to make will be greatly appreciated by the receiver. Please feel free to choose, or not, to contribute to any of our opportunities. Our Safety Patrol is collecting non-perishable food items to provide Holiday Food Boxes to needy families. They are working with the Citizens Advisory Committee of Delaware County Children and Youth Services. Their hope is to positively impact the lives of children at risk and their families. Your caring contribution will surely lift someone s sprits this holiday season. Please send your non-perishable food donations in by December 16 th. Mrs. Park s second grade will once again set up the Aston Elementary School Warmth Tree in our school lobby. Students may bring in hats, scarves, gloves and mittens to be given to less fortunate children in Camden, New Jersey. Contributions will help keep someone warm this winter. Students will have until December 17 th to hang their donations on the tree. And last but not least, Student Council will be collecting toys for needy children in Camden, New Jersey. These toys, along with clothes, food, hats and gloves, will be handed out on Christmas Eve. For many children these may be the only gifts they receive. Toys will be collected until December 17 th. We thank you for your consideration to our caring holiday programs.
