Thank you to a large committee of volunteers for making our Directory a reality! Becky Levy and Lenore Portante spent many hours typing and editing from the CHAPTS forms. Julia Libling put together all of the ads. Jen Duplisea typed membership info even after her student moved to another school. Our organization, proofreading and typing team included: Jennifer Manning, Lynda Adams, Betsey VanBenschoten, Janice Dinner, Laurie VanDyke, Leslie Miller, Robin Williams, Gwen Derse, Christine Taratsas, Tracey Loo, Sarah Shea and Cathy Keyser. Joe McDermott of On Point Marketing Solutions took on the printing as he has done over the years. CHS Art students produced the artwork. Thank you to those who will help distribute the Directory. It would not be published without you.
We will need someone to Chair the directory committee next year. Please call now (phone number in newsletter or email her) if this is your cup of tea! Sincerely, Maria Townsend

Some of our SUSD schools do not have the parent participation that is needed to help out. Please consider becoming an "All District Volunteer". This would allow volunteers to be placed at schools where additional help is needed. To participate, the individual must complete a simple background check and sign the necessary SUSD forms. If you are interested, please contact Carla Partridge: cpartridge@susd.org.

The Art AP class, taught by Marcy Warner, participated in a contest for the front cover of the school directory. Thank you to all of the contestants! The winners are:

Dear PTO Presidents

Our volunteer master list is growing and we are so lucky to have such great parents and community members that want to help us become the best we can be. As you know, some of our schools do not have the parent participation that is needed to help out. Would you help us to identify some of your volunteers that you feel may want to become an “All District Volunteer” and have them contact me at cpartridge@susd.org.
This would allow us to place volunteers from schools that have an abundance of volunteers into the schools that need additional help. This would only require a simple background check and a signature on a form from our legal department for non-disclosure.
I made a presentation to Scottsd ale Parent Council about this and have already had some interest but that was to a small number of people. We need to spread the word.
Thanks for your help with this.

Students who were previously approved to purchase parking permits must complete the registration process before the permit will be issued. Students will present their 2008-09 ID and a parking confirmation sheet to security who will place your parking permit directly on your car. Please remove your old permit before having the new one affixed. Contact Mr. Ross at 484-6508 if you have any questions.

The majority of the construction on this campus is complete. During the first quarter of the school year, we will be completing the south parking lot and tennis courts. We are almost there, so please be patient and enjoy the new facility. When we return from October break, we will hopefully have additional parking available for students. I will keep you informed of the progress in the south lot and exact timeline as to when additional parking spots will be available on Firebird Word.

Student Parking this year will ONLY be available in the south lot at this time for SENIORS only. Seniors were provided an opportunity to participate in the lottery in May to request a parking spot. At this time, we will have only 248 parking spots for students on campus until October break. ONLY those seniors who requested to participate in the lottery will be assigned spots at this time. If more spots become available, Mr. Ross will let everyone know and we will hold a second lottery.

Faculty/Staff Parking will be in the Northwest Lot and the area in the south lot closest to the B/Admin building. Spaces will be numbered and assigned for all faculty and staff. There will be NO student parking in these areas.

Visitor/Volunteer Parking will be in the north-east lot and will be marked accordingly. If you live within the area where bus service is provided, it is my recommendation that your child ride the bus this year. We will do our best with what we have available. More information about student drop-off is on page 3.

Buildings: When you come to campus, the 200 building will be but a memory. All the classroom buildings will be complete and the entire middle of the campus has been transformed. Building C, D, E, and F are now complete and as you know we moved into the new office prior to the end of the last school year. As with any new construction, we will be working through any issues that occur as soon as possible. The good news is we are ready ON TIME. Please respect our new facility so that all future firebirds can experience what you will this school year.

The final phase of construction will end in November of this year. Unfortunately, the final phase will affect parking for the first quarter. Only seniors who were selected in the parking lottery will be provided a parking permit for the first quarter. We will keep you updated when school starts as to the progress in the south lot.

We are excited to announce a special partnership with Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions to bring your child the very best in PSAT, SAT and/or ACT* preparation. We've made test preparation more affordable and convenient, plus part of your tuition supports SUSD! Through our Kaplan at School program, students are also eligible for a special discount on Kaplan's Premier Tutoring, Classroom, or Online courses. Please refer to the following links for more information.

We also need about 20 volunteers for back to school packets the third week in June. If you are in town and can help for a few hours during that week please reply this email. We do not have a definite date yet due to the printers schedule being unknown as of yet. Mary Lou can only tell us at this time, it will be the third week. If you know you will be in town, we can sure use your help. Last year we knocked it out in about 3 hours with around 20 people.
