Germain Street School PTA
"A million voices for children"

Important NEWS- Due to recent budget cuts, Germain Street Elementary School will NOT have a Librarian for the upcoming school year. Because of this, the library cannot be open to students without a teacher present, and students will not be allowed to check-out books under any circumstances. Effectively, this shuts the children out of a valuable educational resource, currently utilized by students on a daily basis. However, it may not be too late. Attached is a pre-written letter for you, or anyone else concerned with your child’s education, to sign and mail to our local district 1 superintendent Linda Del Queto and our LAUSD superintendent Dr. John Deasy.

It would not be the first time Germain St. parents have gotten the district’s attention, and cooperation, when we have demanded it. (It would not even be the first time this year.) If we, the concerned parents, families, and friends of Germain St. students show unified support, we have, and will continue to bring the resources our children need back to the campus. Please take a moment to click the link below, print, complete, and mail 1 copy to each of the addresses below. In addition to correspondence, faxes and calls are valuable as well. All information is provided below. We have done it before. We’ll do it again.

Dear Germain Parents – I’m excited to let you know that the 2010-2011 yearbooks have arrived!!

If your pre-ordered, your child should be receiving the yearbook this week.  Distribution to classes started on June 7th.

You can still purchase a yearbook by completing an order form and attaching payment.  The price for the yearbook is $21.  Order forms are available in the office and will be distributed to students. 

This year’s yearbook looks fantastic!  Don’t miss your opportunity to purchase one.  Submit your completed order form and payment to your child’s teacher today!

Orders received through the end of the school year will be processed as received and yearbooks routed to the respective teacher.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at 818 357 8277.

Thank you!
