·         Escrip – Did you know you can sign up for E-Scrip, register your Safeway card and/or your credit cards to the secure service, and earn money for Disney Elementary by just doing your normal and holiday shopping? This is the simplest thing to do. We would love to see 100% participation in this program. It is  quick and painless and as a result each time you shop you  know you are supporting our school. The link is http://www.escrip.comand I promise it only takes a few minutes but can yields thousands of dollars for us.  You can link to your Safeway Card as well as several different credit cards. Take your pick ..all will help out our school. 

 

·         Traffix Busing Update: As you are aware, the TRAFFIX Program began providing student transportation service to your school in the fall of 2009. Funded by a countywide sales tax, TRAFFIX is designed specifically to provide traffic congestion relief to some of the most congested areas of the San Ramon Valley. TRAFFIX is operated by a separate independent agency, of which the San Ramon Valley Unified School District is a proud partner.
 
As a part of its route planning effort that is already underway for the 2010-11 school year, TRAFFIX would like to get your feedback about its service. The following link will take you to a confidential Web-based survey. Your feedback will allow TRAFFIX to continually improve their service and assess whether there is sufficient demand to maintain its program funding.
 
To take the survey, please click on the following link: http://traffix09.questionpro.com  The survey will be active until Sunday, December 13, 2009.   
 
Thank you in advance for your participation in this important planning effort.

·         New Schedule for 2^nd Graders in 2010: As we enter December, please be mindful that all 2^nd graders in SRVUSD will transition away from the early/late readers schedule. Some SRVUSD schools eliminated their 2^nd grade early/late reader schedule at the beginning of the year. This will be in effect starting January  4, 2010 upon our return from Winter Break. All 2^nd graders will go a full instructional day.
