Possible Part-time Work, Cox Care Mobile and our FIRST PLAYGROUP OF THE YEAR!

Happy Thursday!  As you may or may not know, the YMCA has an after-school program that operates for our students.  Although housed at the school, the job is through the YMCA and is in no way connected with Clever R-V employment.  However, could be a great opportunity for someone looking for a few hours of work per week close to home. The following message came from their director. Pass the word around, please!

Good morning,
  •  We are looking to fill two positions with the Y after-school program.

    Y after-school program staff - qualifications - must be 18 years of age, work well with children, and must be able to pass a background check.

    Y after school program lead - Qualifications - Must be 18 years of age, work well with children, be able to pass a background check, have 60 college credits with a minimum of 12 in education.

    Hours for both positions
        M-Th, 250-630
        Friday - 12:45-630

    All staff must be willing to become cpr/first aid certified along with completing Missouri state licensing hours yearly. Pay ranges from 7.75-9.25 depending on position.  Contact Amanda at ablack@orymca.org for more details.

COX CARE MOBILE

Next, the Cox Care Mobile will begin making it's monthly stops on our campus next week. They will be here on Thursday, September 4th. This is FREE to anyone in our district that meets the age criteria (birth to age 18) REGARDLESS of whether you have insurance or not. The Care Mobile is a medical office on wheels with services provided by a Nurse Practitioner.  They can do vision and hearing screenings, visits for sick children, physicals and immunizations (shots are only for those WITHOUT insurance). Please call 743-4810 and ask for the school nurse if you have more questions or would like to schedule an appointment.  They will only continue visits to our school if services are utilized!

PLAYGROUP TIME NEXT WEEK!

Finally, our first playgroup will be held next Friday, September 5th, from 10:00-11:00 on the playground!  Come join us for an hour of fun.  Don't know anyone?  That's ok--- this is a great way to meet other parents of young children!

Have a safe and enjoyable long Labor Day weekend!

Welcome to the New Blog and the New School Year!

I hope you found our new location with no problems and are ready to follow along as we begin this new adventure called the 2014-2015 school year.
As you know from the end of last school year, Clever PAT is no longer just Ms. Paula; we welcome Ms. Mikki to our world!  I'm so excited to begin working even more closely with her than in the past.  We have big things planned and hope you'll keep up with the blog so you don't miss a thing. Both Ms. Mikki and I will be posting on this blog so feel free to address questions to either of us and, between the two of us, we'll try to find solutions.  :)

Soon, we'll begin our regular home visits so hang tight and one of us will be in touch in the next few weeks. In the meantime, we're getting the preschool parents settled into their new adventure.  As always, they'll remain in PAT until time for kindergarten entry.  In other words, all events for PAT include all preschoolers too!

Here's to a great school year!  We'll post again soon.  Also, be watching Facebook as we're working on a Clever PAT Facebook Page!

2014-2015 IS GOING TO BE A FABULOUS SCHOOL YEAR!!
