Mrs. Woods' Weekly eMail June 22, 2010 June 4, 2010 Dear
Parents, As you look at the June calendar, you can
see there is quite a bit going on at Transfiguration this month. Please keep referring to it so you don’t miss
anything. Exams for Grades 5-8 - as well as New York State Science Exams
are currently underway. Please have your child/children to school on time so we may begin these exams on schedule. Sunday is Pentecost Sunday - All are welcome to participate in the procession
& Benediction. Our Second Graders will be part of the procession. Time Capsule - The students at Transfiguration School will be celebrating "60 Years of Excellence
in Education". The students will be participating in a number of activities to mark this momentous occasion.
Each class has been asked to help create a timeline of the past 60 years. Teachers will work with students to fill in
timelines, 60 things they love about Transfiguration School and events and milestones throughout the 60 years. The grand
finale will be ice cream for all students and teachers. Thank you in advance to all those who have helped to make this a
memorable event. Congratulations to Jasmine Rodrigo, an 8th grader
who won 3rd place in the Cardinal Cooke Respect for Life Essay Contest. Eighth grade students
from 95 Catholic elementary schools in the Archdiocese participated in the essay contest. Jasmine won $2,000.00 which
is applied to her tuition next year in high school. Jasmine will be attending The Ursuline School in
New Rochelle in the fall. I invite you to read Jasmine's essay, which can be found on the Catholic New York's
Web site, www.cny.org. Also
with regards to scholarships..... I am very proud of the fact that our current Eighth Grade class has accumulated over $77,000.00
in scholarships for high school. Congratulations to the students and bravo to the teachers for another job well done! Parent Information Night - Please plan on attending this important event. Child Psychologist, Dr. Barbara Kapentanakes,
will discuss how impulse and self control have significant implications throughout childhood and adulthood. Learn parenting
tips about how to foster good impulse control in your child at home, on the playground, and in school. This talk will
be geared for all ages from 4 through 14. It will take place on Wednesday, June 9th from
7:00 PM - 8:00PM. Admission is free. Guild Social - On Wednesday, June 16th at 7:00 pm, in the school library, the
Parent Guild will host a social event to thank this year's board and welcome next year's board. I have invited
the 35 new families who have registered for next year, as this is a great opportunity to meet and get comfortable with the
school community. I would also like to encourage all of you to attend. Summer School - Parents of students currently in grades 3, 4, and
5, please be aware that the school is running a summer school for students who are struggling in Math and ELA. This
is a four week program which runs from July 5th - July 30th, Monday through Thursday.
Call the office to register or for more details. Strawberry

in Kindergarten, First and Second Grade. Under the guidance of Mrs. Amato, these lovely works have helped announce the
45th rendition of a Tarrytown tradition. In appreciation for their efforts, the Historical Society held a
raffle for all participants. The following students have been awarded complimentary shortcake as part of the Festival.
All are invited to attend the Festival this Sunday, June 6th, from 1:00 to 4:00

the possibility of adding a volunteer component to the school's current fundraising obligation. If you can help
research this and provide input please contact Monique Kozlowski at 914-819-0835 or at kozbar@earthlink.net. Field Day
- Is scheduled for Tuesday, June 22nd. The field day committee is asking for any families
who can lend them a canopy tent to be used for field day. They are looking for about 3 or 4 tents which will provide
more shade for the students during lunch. Please contact Mrs. LeeAnne Sullivan at 631-4512 if you have a tent they can
use. Tuition- Don't forget that all tuition payments
must be in by June 15th. Please be reminded that we will again collect tuition from August
- May 2010-2011. We will send home your 10 month tuition book with the summer letter in August. Your
tuition rates will be based on the contributions to the church as of August 15, 2010. This will enable
us to set up the SIS system to record tuition as well as give us a better opportunity to record end of year tuition before
June. Finally - School is closed on Friday, June
11th. This is our last snow day give back. Sincerely, Audrey
J. Woods May 21, 2010 May 7, 2010

Cross on Friday at 1:45p.m.

students from different grade levels working together to present, Willy Wonka and
the Chocolate Factory. You never know, we might just have a future American
Idol at Transfiguration School! If you cannot locate your form, you can down load a copy from the school website
at www.transfigurationschool.org.
Audrey J. Woods Principal
January 29, 2010 Dear Parents, Catholic Schools Week – Get ready for many exciting events next week. Mass on Sunday at 10:00 AM will begin the week, followed by breakfast. At last count,
reservations are closed and the tables are full. Monday begins
the Penny Wars between the grades. The class with the most pennies at the end of the week
will earn a dress down day. All pennies will go toward the Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center.
Tuesday is our Open
House for new families. I still need a few people to help with giving tours. Please call the office
if you can help out between 9 and 11 AM. Wednesday
we will start the day with Mass and throat blessing for the Feast of St. Blaise. The students
will then witness Mrs. Morley being suspended and taped to the gym wall. Before lunch, the top
three classes (1, 3, and 6) who brought in the highest sales for the wrapping paper fundraiser will race their pigs for a
chance to win a Pizza lunch for their class. After lunch, our traditional Foul Shooting Contest
will occur with more prizes given to the top shooter per grade. Since we will be attending Mass in the
morning, all students in all grades should come to school wearing the complete gym uniform, regardless of whether
they are scheduled for gym that day. I want everyone to look uniform for Mass and be ready for
the activities of the day. Thursday is
Parent Visiting Day, beginning at 11:40.
Come hungry because this will be followed by Heritage Day! Friday is Green and Gold Dress Down Day, Penny Bingo
with Prayer Partners, the results of the Penny War and a special surprise from
me! Our thankfulness for Catholic Schools, namely Transfiguration,
is only outdone by the size of our celebrating during Catholic Schools Week! Thank you to all our parents
who, despite a tough economy, stand behind their commitment to Catholic education. Your children will reap the “Dividends
for Life”. Guild Letter
– Please check your child’s back pack for a very important letter from the Guild.
This letter explains the recently presented Drama Club and asks the general membership whether or not you agree that
the Guild should use money in the cultural budget to cover the production costs of the club. Your
vote is important so be sure to check off your ballot and send the form back to school as soon as possible. Legislator Forum – Last night’s Legislator forum was well
done. The Westchester/Putnam area was represented by six elected officials, including Senators Klein, Oppenheimer,
and Stewart-Cousins and Assemblymen Spano, Ball, and Latimer. The good news is that these legislators are
on our side and rejected the Governor’s proposed mid-year cuts to Catholic school reimbursement.
In addition, State Senators Suzi Oppenheimer and Jeff Klein, along with Assembly members Mike Spano, George Latimer, and Greg Ball are co-sponsoring legislation
to restore the Mandated Services Reimbursement program after the state’s liability to reimburse our schools was cut
by 8 percent in 2008 – worth $11 million. Moreover, they have introduced legislation to reimburse
Catholic schools for the cost of the new Metropolitan Transportation Tax. Introducing a bill and have it passed are two distinct events. A
lot of work and effort on our part to make our concerns heard still needs to occur to keep these issues at the top of the
pile. This is a tough year and we must not give up. Join the Catholic
Advocacy Network to urge the Governor and legislators to fully reimburse our schools for the money that is
owed and to prevent further cuts to aid. Go to: www.nyscatholic.org and click “Join the Network”. SCRIP- The deadline for orders is Monday, February 1. Please consider
making an order for any future purchases needed. BoxTops, Amazon.com, Stop & Shop A+ Bonus Bucks – Thank you and keep supporting these easy ways to earn money for the school. The school has already received
checks from Box Tops and A+ Bonus Bucks. Please tell your friends, relatives, and co-workers about these
efforts. All it takes is to clip the coupons and send them in, click the link on our website for Amazon
before shopping online, and registering your Stop and Shop card for the school to earn money. We get so crazed that we don’t
realize there are special “priceless” gifts that we can give to others that will last a lifetime. Last night
was one of those priceless moments. A wise friend once gave me some other priceless gifts and I am passing them on to
you. Give the: Gift of Understanding: Teach others that by understanding one another we
become better people because there is no room for arguments. Gift of Compassion: Teach
others that when you care you show others that they mean something to you. Gift of Joy: Teach
others that laughter is good for the soul. Gift of Peace: Teach others that living in harmony
is the right way because there is no room for hatred and finally… Gift of Love: Teach others that through loving we grow and
act like our Lord. What a better way to welcome the New Born Christ! These are
my gifts to you. If we can pass these on to the people we know imagine what a world it would be. May your Christmas
be filled with the laughter and cheer of family and friends and may the New Year bring you all that is good. Audrey J. Woods Principal Legislative Forum – Save the date – January 28, 2009. That is the date set for the political forum at Archbishop Stepinac High School. Governor
Patterson has proposed a 10% cut from both Mandated Services and Comprehensive Attendance Program. He is only proposing
a 4.5% cut in public school aid. We all realize that the state has no money but we must
fight to be treated equitably. In addition, the state owes back monies to private schools in the amount of 23 million
dollars. Cuts in funding will adversely impact our schools. Let us show our elected officials where we stand. One
example of how assessment data impacts teaching strategies and programming occurred in 2004 after the school received student
ITBS results. Although the school as a whole scored better than expected, the teachers noticed that several students
were not skilled in making reasonable decisions when solving problems in math. As a result, the faculty and I implemented
a school-wide improvement plan with the goal of addressing problem-solving, and by 2007 scores
in this area improved school-wide by four percentage points. November 16, 2009

Night. I hope you found the information prepared by the Teachers and Parents' Guild
helpful and informative. HELP WANTED: Playground -

you are at home or work locally, please consider volunteering a few times a year or more. If

The committee meets once a month for a couple of hours and most tasks can be done from home via email.
Please consider helping this important committee. Please let me know if you have any interest in

the Church Parking Lot. Light refreshments will be available. All pets are welcome.
Please bring your pet on a leash or harness or in a carrier. Book
Fees - I have
noticed that quite a few families still have not paid their book fees. The Book Fee for Pre-K is $100.00
per child and $235.00 per child for Grades K - 8th. I would appreciate it if you could please check your
records and send it in as soon as possible. These fees are not just for books; it covers the expense of the SIS, purchase
of ITBS and NYS Tests, Insurance and Internet. SIS Program - As mentioned in my summer letter, we are recording
tuition and books bills on the SIS program. You can refer to the Financial tab in SIS to see what has been
recorded. If you are having any problems with the log in or what is recorded, please let Mrs. Coughlin
know. Our new parent's will be receiving their login and passwords on 9/28. Innisbrook
Fundraiser
- This fundraiser is still going on until October 15th, please help us reach our goal of $10,000. Remember
that we will be “suspending” Mrs. Morley from the gym wall if we meet our goal! The top three
classes will earn a spot in our first annual Pig Race!! ****IRIS System Test*** - The IRIS System is an automated
call system that we will be using to alert parents of snow days, emergency dismissals or late field trips returning. We will
continue to use Channel 12 and WFAS for snow day announcements. ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER
28TH I will run a test of the IRIS System. You should receive a phone call to your home number
and an email to your home email address for this test. If for any reason you do not get a test call or
an email on Monday, September 28, please let the school office know on Tuesday. Please remember this is
a test, there is no reason to call us back. Confirmation Dates - 8th Grade Parents, please mark your calendars
with the following dates: The Enrollment Ceremony Rehearsal Wednesday, September 30 - 7:00 p.m. in the Church; The Enrollment

June 17,
2009 Dear Parents, What a wonderful school we have and what a wonderful year it has been. I am so blessed to be part of this wonderful community. As the 2009 school year comes to an end I am struck by how much has been accomplished in ten months. Our students have had a fabulous year thanks to the guidance of our faculty and the support of you their parents. On behalf of the faculty and staff I thank you for your ongoing commitment to Transfiguration School especially during these difficult financial times. Your investment is a wise one that will pay dividends for your children in the future. Just ask our recent alums, who come back each year and tell us how well they were prepared for high school and how well they are doing! That is priceless! This year's graduates (I can't call them eighth graders anymore), are off, after a tearful goodbye, to the high schools of their choice. I underscore this last part because the students were so well prepared by their teachers, that they were able to choose which school they wanted to attend because they were accepted into all of them. I am also proud to report that in addition to being placed in honors programs, many students received scholarships. In today's economy receiving a financial award is testament to the students' academic achievements. Please indulge me as I brag a little more. 96% of our eighth grade students scored well above the norm on the New York State ELA exam. 53% of the eighth grade students received the top score of 4 on the New York State Social Studies exam. I am sure they will do equally as well on the Math exam and I will email the results to you when I get them. And, it is not just the graduates who deserve applause. I am so very proud of all our students' accomplishments. As a school, we scored in the 96th percentile on the ITBS test. In addition, 100% of our fourth graders scored above the norm on the New York State ELA exam. What other school can tout 100%? The list of noteworthy accomplishments for this year is endless but a few worth mentioning include:
There is no doubt that the academic program is second to none at Transfiguration School but the students also have had an opportunity to involve themselves in a variety of pursuits that enable them to become well rounded individuals. As I reflect back on the year, there were a number of wonderful events and activities that enhanced the curriculum. These included; the Presidential debate, the visitors from el Salvador, the Thanksgiving play and dinner put on by the kindergarten and first grade, the blessing of the animals and the animal shelter collection organized by the fourth grade, the honor band playing at JFK high school, the debut of the student choir at three parish Masses, the Rosary Garden created by the second grade and eighth grade students cooperatively, the performances at the Christmas and Spring concerts, the twirlers and marchers at the St. Patrick's Day parade, the basketball teams, the volleyball teams, the wonderful assemblies funded by the Parent Guild, and the list goes on and on. These are so many wonderful memories that will last a lifetime, certainly, but more importantly that bring our school community together. As a parent community we have had a wonderful time together at the Fall Gala, Field Day, and the Spring Fundraiser. Thank you to all the parents who contributed so much to making these a great event. And, don't forget to save the date for next year's Fall Gala. It will be held on November 14 and the guest of honor will be Transfiguration School as we celebrate 60 years of history and unveil our new school video! And, while you have your calendars open, I would like the parents of next year's sixth, seventh and eighth grade to save September 15 as the date for a very special meeting just for you. The faculty and I are hosting a "Welcome to Middle School" meeting. In addition to discussing the high school selection process, we will be presenting the middle school curriculum for all subjects, the testing schedule for New York State exams, what to expect as parents as well as what is expected of students entering these grades. This is a very important meeting. Over the summer I will be emailing everyone an outline of the school's goals
for the coming year, changes in the New York State testing, details of the Superintendent's strategic plan, and any other
important information. The faculty and I remain committed to the maintenance of the school's academic excellence
and to ensuring that each of the students in our care reaches their fullest potential. Lastly, I haven't said it enough this year - thank you. It takes an entire school community of parents who are willing to sacrifice and commit to maintaining a financially sound academic institution. You know that the rewards for your children will be great. I am ever so grateful for your continued support and involvement. On behalf of the faculty and staff, I wish you and your loved ones a safe, restful summer and thank you for giving us the opportunity to educate your children. Gratefully yours, June 11, 2009 Dear Parents, We are almost done...... CONGRATULATIONS

In the event of rain, we will be in the Church Hall. Please feel free to come an join us on Sunday. Swine Flu- You will be receiving ongoing updates regarding Swine Flu. Although most confirmed cases of Swine Flu involve only mild illness, the virus spreads quickly. Therefore, it is essential that no student who is exhibiting flu-like symptoms attends school or sporting events. Flu-like symptons include fever, cough, sore throat, and running nose. Health officials believe good hygiene habits are key to limiting the spread of infection, and I ask for your help in ensuring that your children are practicing such habits. These habits include: Washing their hands often, with both soap and hot water, for at least 20 seconds. Properly using hand sanitizer, such as gels, rubs, and hand wipes that contain at least 60% alcohol (hand wipes must be disposed of properly and always read and follow label instructions when using hand sanitizer). Keep their hands away from their face and keeping any touching of their mouth, nose, and eyes to a minimum. Covering their mouths when coughing or sneezing with either the inside of their elbow or a tissue (they should not use their hands). Please note we are also consulting with health officials regarding best cleaning practices for infection control in our school building. Sincerely, Audrey J. Woods April 22, 2009 Dear Parents, Welcome back from Easter Break. CONFIRMATION - Congratulations to our 8th Grade student's who received the sacrament of Confirmation
on Saturday, April 18th. It was a wonderful and inspirational ceremony. The students with the guidance of their
teacher, Ms. Deltoro performed hours of community service along with retreats to prepare them for this sacrament. Our
prayers are with them that they spread the faith by their words and actions as true witnesses of Christ. Flynn
& O'Hara Uniforms Company - Will be at Transfiguration on Thursday, April 23 from 8:30-11:00. Order
froms went home on Tuesday. Teacher Luncheon - Thursday, April 23rd - On behalf of
the faculty, I would like to thank all the parents who are working hard to make this lunch a success. We are very grateful
for your thoughtfullness and appreciate all the time and effort that you put into this luncheon. Report
Cards - Will be distributed on Friday, April 24th. Please sign the envelope and return to your child's
teachers. As I am reviewing and signing these report cards, I am noticing a large number of students with excessive
lateness. As we start the fourth quarter, I ask that you have your child here before 8:00 a.m. If I continue to
see more than 4 late passes, the student will be asked to sit in the lobby and wait until the first period is over to enter
the classroom. Spring Fundraiser - Saturday, April 25 at 7:30 p.m. in the Church Hall.
There is no way to begin to tell you the amount of time and effort that goes into this fundraiser. The Parents'
Guild Board of Directors along with many parent volunteers have put timeless hours into making this a successful fundraiser.
The benefits of this fundraiser are felt by each and every student at Transfiguration School. Therefore, I can't
stress enough for each family to come and support this wonderful event on Saturday night. Who knows, you may leave $20,000
richer. ENRICHMENT PROGRAM - Before the Easter break, we sent home registration forms for
the After School Enrichment Programs. We did not get a good response so we are extending the deadline until Friday,

Thank you to all our coaches, volunteers and parents in their efforts to help this program run smoothly. It's alot of work but the benefits are great. A special thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Rob Sullivan for setting up for Sports Award night and Mr. Terry McGlynn for his dedication to this very successful sports program. NCAA GAME - Monday, April 6th at 8:00 p.m. in the school gym. Tickets are still available. Please contact the school office or Rob Sullivan at 646-529-0413. Come eat, drink and watch the game. You might leave with a flat panel TV. PARENTS' GUILD MEETING - Tuesday, April 7th at 7:30 p.m. in the school cafeteria. All families are welcome and encouraged to attend. These meetings enable parents to get more information regarding events sponsored by the Parents' Guild as well as information on academic, testing and school related matters. This is a great way to find out how you can get involved. 11:00 a.m. DISMISSAL ON WEDNESDAY APRIL 8TH. HOLY THURSDAY AND GOOD FRIDAY - There will be a Mass of the Last Supper at 8:00 p.m. on Holy Thursday at church and Stations of the Cross at 12:00 p.m. on Good Friday as well as The Passion at 3:00 p.m. Students should attend these services during these most important days of the Liturgical Year. They are important traditions of our Catholic faith. CLASS BASKETS - Each family received a letter from their child's class parents regarding putting together a class basket for the Spring Fundraiser. If you have not sent in your donation or money please do so immediately . If you do not know your child's class parent name, please write on the envelope Class Basket with your child's name and grade on it, or visit the school website at www.transfigurationschool.org for the listing of class parents. Please do not forget this is very important. These class parents are working hard to finish these baskets and need your help now. $20,000 RAFFLE TICKETS - Please check and make sure you sent in your raffle ticket money. If you have not done so already, please get your tickets in as soon as possible. We need participation from all families. This is also a good time to confirm your babysitter for Saturday, April 25 from 7:30 p.m to 10:00 pm. The Spring Fundraiser is one of the Parents' Guild biggest event. A lot of work goes into making the evening a success, and we need our parents to support this event. All proceeds goes to Transfiguration School. Please make every effort to attend on April 25th. It is truly a wonderful evening. GYM USE - Just a reminder, if coaches are using the gym for a game, practice,or team party, you must have adult supervision of the halls and the playground. Lack of proper adult supervision is a liability exposure for the school. Also, you must clean up before you leave. There are too many soda cans, water bottles, candy wrappers and pizza boxes left outside that we have to remove before we can let the students use the playground for recess. My recommendation is that you make an announcement before the game, practice etc. that students must remain with parents during games, and not allowed on the playground without an adult. DELIVERY OF FORGOTTEN ITEMS - Parents, please note, going forward, all lunches, instruments, homework, books, etc. should be left on the benches in the lobby. Please do not bring these into the office. If a student has forgotten any of these, they will know to look on the benches for these items. I strong suggest that parents remind their children of their responsibilities to bring these items in with them. I also believe that parents should not deliver these items if a child continually forgets to bring them. A lesson on responsibility will be taught. SPRING FEVER - The warm weather is on its way. Please remember that there are 3 more months of school. Student's must keep their mind on school work and meet their academic obligations until the very last day of the school year. I am hearing too many concerns from teachers who are getting excuses for why work is not being done. Sports, busy weekends, and late games are not reasons for not getting work done. School is a priority, according to law. Audrey J. Woods March 26, 2009 Dear Parents, SCHOOL IS OPEN

STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (SIS) - Letters will be going home this week regarding the Student Information System (SIS). Attached to the letter will be your User Name and Passwords to enable you to access the system. This system will enable parents to review their child's assignments and grades.

Audrey J. Woods March 11, 2009 Dear Parents, PARENTS' GUILD MEETING - JOIN US TONIGHT WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11TH AT 7:30 P.M. IN SCHOOL CAFETERIA FOR THE MONTHLY PARENTS' GUILD MEETING. FRIDAY, MARCH 13, - SCHOOL IS CLOSED - TEACHER CONFERENCE. ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE - Yes!!! we will march, we have about 80 people marching. The weather forecast is showing a good day for a parade. If you signed up to march with the school, we are lining up on John Street, which is the first left off Main Street in Tarrytown at 1:00 p.m. Our twirlers will lead us up Main Street in Tarrytown, along Route 9 into Sleepy Hollow and down Beekman Avenue. We will end at St. Theresa's Church in Sleepy Hollow. If you have not signed up, but would like to join us, please meet us at John Street. I really would love to see as many families as possible enjoying this event. BUSING - Don't forget to mail in your Bus Transportation Forms to your school district. These must be mailed directly to the Transportation Department by April 1st. If you need one for the Tarrytowns School District, please let the school office know. All other districts, you must contact your Transportation Department for a form. I strongly recommend that all students that are eligable for busing sign up for it. We have too many parents that are picking up students daily, that should be on buses. This is creating a problem in our parking lot that can be avoided. Only parents of Pre-K students and parents of student's that are ineligible for busing should be the only parents in the parking lot daily. You are paying for this transportation in your taxes. Use it or you might lose it with the next rounds of budget cuts in the school districts.
SATURDAY, MARCH 14 - BANNER DAY FOR OUR 2ND GRADE COMMUNICANTS. 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. at Church. $20,000 RAFFLE - Flyers with information about the $20,000 raffle were sent home last week.

If you've misplaced your flyer, contact the school office or download one from the school website (www.transfigurationschool.org). HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A CHANCE TO WIN A FREE MONTH'S TUITION? That's one month, whether you have one, two, or ten children in the school! To earn a chance, all you have to do is donate or solicit one item (with a fair-market value of $50 to $99) for the Spring Auction. Want two chances? Just donate one or more items, valued at $100 or more. Need an idea? Well, if you plan on buying a gift card from a local establishment, why not ask that establishment if they could make a donation by matching your purchase! It's an easy way to increase the value of your donation and help you earn a chance for a free month's tuition. Whatever you choose to donate, simply bring your donation to the school office, include an Auction Donor Form...and you're in. Auction Donor Forms (which also include information about placing a business or family ad in the Auction Journal), can be found on our website. Family Donations submitted by April 15, 2009, will be recognized in the Spring Auction Journal.

Parents, Reminders: LATENESS
- I have noticed that we have many students arriving late for school. Please have your children in school by 8:00a.m.
We are starting the third quarter and I do not want to see so many late students. New York State Education law requires that
we report all lateness. These are posted to the record card which follows the student to high school. Admissions directors
take all aspects of a child's performance into account when making decisions. The bottom line is that lateness,
other than an extreme emergency, is not permitted at Transfiguration School. Please be respectful of the schools policy. ADVERTISING - I am looking for someone in our parent population to join our Marketing Committee
that has/had experience creating ad campaigns. I am particularly interested in ad directors, copywriters and/or graphic
designers. Please call the school office at 631-3737 and let me know if you can help. REPORT CARDS
- Please be aware that it has been the New York Archdiocesan policy that actual grades be posted on report cards. This
is not a decision made at the school level. DOORS OPEN - Please be reminded that the school
doors open at 7:45 a.m. I am concerned with the number of students waiting outside in the cold weather. We
do not have enough coverage to open the doors before 7:45 a.m. If you drive your child to school, please have them
remain in the car until 7:45. We have reminded the bus companies of the policy and they are required to keep students
on the bus until the doors open. GUM - We are a gum free school. I have been seeing gum
on the front steps as well as in both bathrooms. This rule should be adhered to during basketball practice and games. WINNERS....WINNERS - We have some great basketball players in this school!!! We almost missed
our buses today because our foul shooting contest in grades 3-8 had so many students making great shots. Congratulations
to the winners from each grade, and thank you to our cheering section in grades K-2. Audrey J. Woods This system will allow the school to notify you by phone and email important events, such as, school closings due
to weather or a delayed field trip etc. A letter will be coming home with your child today. Please fill the
information out as soon as possible and return it to the school office no later than Feburary 9th. We would like to begin
using the system. PARENTS'
GUILD - Take a few minutes to read through the Parents' Guild Mid-Year Report and get caught up on all that
is going on. The Report can also be found on the school website. The Parents' Guild is looking for volunteers to help out with the Spring Auction. There are so many ways
to contribute, and every member of our community has something to offer. Volunteer your time, donate an item, and please
plan to attend on Saturday, April 25. Auction Volunteer forms are available on the school website. Here are some
ways you can help: Prior to the auction, coordinate donated items; arrange food and beverages; help with promotions, mailings,
and correspondence. If you have access
to a computer, consider writing descriptions of items for the auction catalog. This can be done from home. If you like to give your time and meet other families,
why not help set up the auction items, decorate the room and tables, or handle hospitality or music for the evening? Be part of the fun on auction night. Help greet guests,
sell keys to the Reasure Chest and tickets for the Chinese auction, record winning bidders, checkout auction winners, or help
clean up. You can help after the auction
too! We need people to follow up on contributions, bids, and receipts; help write thank you notes to volunteers and
sponsors. If you can help please send an email
to guild@transfigurationschool.org. 7th

Woods January 22, 2009 Dear Parents, I have to date 7 parents coming with me on the bus to Archbishop Stepinac High School next Thursday night, January 29th. We need many more parents and I need two students in uniform (attending with their parents) to carry the Transfiguration School banner. Please consider coming and contact me ASAP. This is very important. The bus will leave Transfiguration School parking lot at 6:30 p.m. It is promised that the rally will take no longer than one hour. So, we will arrive back at Transfiguration School around 8:30 p.m. The Cardinal, Dr. Timothy McNiff (Superintendent of Schools, NY Archdiocese), Phil Gorrasi (District Superintendent for Westchester/Putnam), Susan Oppenheimer (newly appointed Director of Education) and the state legislators (at least five of them) will be in attendance along with the press and media.

Please be respectful of this. 8th Grade Breakfast Run- Has been an important tradition. Students who would like to participate in the Breakfast Run for the homeless on March 8th should contact Mrs. Fragola as soon as possible. We only have 4 students signed up. Parents, do not let your child miss this opportunity. It will be a profound experience for them.

start this week for Grades 1 - 8. Please have your children on time for school. Playground - It is school policy that students are not permitted to touch or play
in the snow or in the wooded area. If your child is a walker at dismissal, I must insist these rules are
followed after school hours. It is a trememdous liability and we have had incidents where students are kicking and
throwing snow into the parking lot which creates a situation where someone has to come out and move that snow for the afterschool
program to use that area. 5th

5th Grade. If you have any questions, please call our Box Top Coordinator, Lauren Fragola at 914-282-5282. Healthy
Children - As the colder weather makes an entrance, I would like to review some guidelines of when to keep
your child home. Children should not be sent to school when they have been ill the prior
afternoon or night. One episode of vomiting or diarrhea should warrant a day of observation and rest at home.
Children who have a fever of 100 degrees or higher should remain home until they have been fever-free for at least 24 hours.
Tylenol given before school does not speed a child's recovery, and that child's attendance exposes others to illness. Children who have a communicable disease and are taking prescribed antibotics should not come back
to school until at least 24 hours have passed from the first dose of antibiotic. If your child
MUST take a medication during school hours, 8a.m. - 2:25p.m. the nurse can administer that medication to him/her if you provide
a medication form signed by both the doctor and parent. This form is available in the school office or your may request
one from the nurse. An adult must bring the medication to school with the doctor's orders.
If your child appears sick then he/she probably is ill and it is best to keep him/her home. Please call
the School Office at 631-3737 by 8:30 a.m. if your child will be out. Upon return, a note from the parent/guardian
stating the reason for the absence (this is a state law) must be given to the teacher. If we do not have a written excuse
for the absence, the day is reported as an unexcused absence from school. If you wish to discuss any of the above, please
feel free to call our school nurse at 631-7075. December 10, 2008 Dear
Parents, POLITICAL ACTION FORUM Just today, I received notification that two district in the upper counties will
be cutting transportation for nonpublic school students on days that the district is closed as well as on nonpublic school
half days. Although this does not effect Transfiguration directly, the fact is that it is not unusual for all county
districts to follow suit once one or two of the districts come up with a new idea. I am asking for parent volunteers
to be on the lookout for such discussions in the fourteen districts Transfiguration draws students from, and attend every
Board of Education meeting for the next few months. If public schools are forced to cut budgets due to the
fiscal crisis, then some of those cuts may come down on our students and parents backs. We must be proactive and stop
these discussions before they start. Please let me know if I can count on your help. TREE/WREATH & BOOK SALE CALENDAR
RAFFLE ADVENT If you
haven't noticed or have not been in the school lately, we have two trees in our lobby. One of these trees is adorned
with hat and mittens which will be donated to The Mercy Center and the other is a Jesse Tree, decorated with symbols
of the ancestors of Jesus from the Old Testament. Each class was responsible for creating a symbol for this tree. The
Church anticipates the coming of Jesus through readings that span the Old Testament creation story through Jesus' birth.
Jesse, for whom the tree is named, is the first person in the geneology of Jesus. Jesse was the father of King David.
It comes from Isaiah 11:1 "A shoot will spring forth from the stump of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots."
It is a vehicle to tell the story of God in the Old Testament. ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS - IT'S BACK!!!!!! CHRISTMAS CONCERT -
DECEMBER 18th - All grades participate. Parent's, Grandparent's, Aunt's, Uncle's, and friend's can go to the church, sit back and
enjoy the performance. Our students and faculty have been working hard to prepare for this concert, please be considerate.

and feast. Report Cards and Conference letters have gone home. Please notify
your child's teacher if you would like to schedule a conference. As is our tradition at Transfiguration
School, our Christmas tree will be going up on December 1st. Please help us decorate
it with new hats and mittens. These hats and mittens will be given to the Mercy Center
to enjoy for Christmas. I would like to acknowledge
our choir members who participated in the Feast of St. Cecelia at the 10:00 a.m. Mass on Sunday November
23rd. It was a great opportunity to have the school choir join the parish choir in this mass. I am not wishing for snow just yet... but in the event of
a school closing due to weather, I want to remind you where to find out if Transfiguration School
is closed. We will post on Channel 12 News, WFAS radio 103.9 FM and 1030 AM. It will be listed on our website
- www.transfigurationschool.org. and we will change our phone announcement to indicate the closing. We will also (if we are able), email you a closing
notice. Keep in mind that if the Tarrytown Public Schools are closed, Transfiguration is closed. For students not
in the Tarrytown school district, you might want to find out from your school district what arrangements if any if in the
event they are closed and Transfiguration is open, will there be transportation. This has been an issue in the past
and this might be a good time to look into it. The parish is getting ready for
the Christmas Eve Pageant - following is the schedule: Thursday 12/11 - practice
