The following is sent on behalf of Mr. Burkholder:

Families of Leopold School,

 

You should be aware of an upcoming interruption in emails received by staff.

 

The Madison School District is making a major change in its email system - moving from one provider to another.  As a result, from 5:00 p.m. on Friday October 1 until Monday morning October 4, all school and district staff members will not have access to their received emails.  If all things technical go well, staff members will have access on October 4 to all emails sent in that "down" period as well as all subsequent emails.

 

Two other points:

 

1. All email addresses for school and district staff members will remain the same.

2. All emails that you send to staff members - no matter when they are sent - will be received.

 

We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

 

See you tomorrow at school!

Thank you to everyone who visited the Fitchburg Dairy Queen last Tuesday as part of Leopold Night.  Our first restaurant event of the year was a great success, generating a $310 donation from Dairy Queen to the PFO for Leopold.  Thank you for participating and we look forward to our October Leopold Night at Noodles & Company on Tuesday, October 5th.

 

Earlier this month, copies of the 2009-10 edition of The Write Stuff, wasdistributed to Leopold students.  The Write Stuff is a compilation of poems and stories written by Leopold students during the 2009-10 school year.  If your family did not receive a copy and would like one, extras are available in the office.  Thank you to all of the students and teachers who submitted material for the 2009-10 edition, and the parents who worked on the literary magazine over the summer.  Special thanks to parents Mary Treleven and Kristi Buscemi for spearheading this effort.

 

Have a great week – see you Tuesday evening at school!
