Vision & Hearing Screening will be held at Clayton March 22-24 -

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:
Volunteers are needed to help get children to and from their classes to the screening room. It's a fun & easy way to help your school!  Visit the sign up sheet at www1.mysignup.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi?datafile=v if you would like to sign up for an hour or two.  Please contact Elyse White at elysew22@att.net or 301-5518 with any questions.  Thanks.

LETTER TO PARENTS:
Vision and Hearing screenings will be given on March 22, 23, and 24 for students in grades 1,3,5 and new students to AISD.  Some students may be screened due to previous referrals.  If a student does not pass the hearing screening, the school health team will re-screen in 2-3 weeks.  At that time the parent will be notified if the child fails the hearing screening.  Vision and hearing screenings are a service of the Austin Independent School District and are conducted annually throughout the school year.  Only parents of students who fail the vision and/or hearing screening will receive notification letters by mail.

IMPORTANT:
Please remind your children to wear, or bring, their glasses to school.  They will wear their glasses while being screened.

Sincerely,
Dr. Robinett, Principal

Clayton Needs Crossing Guard ASAP - We regret to announce that Ms. Vivian, our School Crossing Guard on La Crosse in front of Clayton Elementary, will be leaving us as of 3/12/2010 to move out of state. Therefore we are in urgent need to hire a replacement for that location. We require a person who is physically and mentally suited to work with children and also maintains a good relationship with the parents and motorists. The position requires that a person must be able to stand for at least an hour and be able to repeatedly cross the street with the pedestrian during that time without becoming too fatigued. This person must be dependable and will be expected to maintain a good attendance record. The applicant must be at least 16 years of age and there is no upper age limit as long as the applicant is physically and mentally able to keep our children safe. This is not a hard job but very important for the safety of our children crossing at this location. This is a City of Austin paid position. The hours are 7:00 A.M. - 8:00 A.M. and 2:15 P.M. - 3:15 P.M. Monday through Friday and follows the same holiday schedule that AISD does. A Criminal Background Check will be conducted. No experience is required. Training will be provided.

Anyone interested should immediately contact: Herschell Esquell, Southwest Area Supervisor, City of Austin, Child Safety Program at 589-4006 or hesquell@austin.rr.com.
