News September 24, 2023

Hello Livingstone Community,

The Livingstone PAC officially welcomes you back to the 2023-24 school year!  It’s been an exciting but BUSY couple of weeks and we hope everyone is settling well into their school and fall routines.  We have a couple of key dates, events and volunteer opportunities to inform you about so apologies, this newsletter is a little extra long.

PAC Meeting
Our first PAC meeting was in person this past Wednesday. We had great discussions and the minutes can be found here. If you have any questions/comments please email us at  [email protected].  Our next PAC meeting will be Wednesday October 18th.  We are also looking for feedback from the parents on the PAC meetings.  Please take this survey to provide your input.  Finally, the members of the PAC executive can be found at the bottom of this newsletter in case you are curious or interested in becoming more involved!

Meet the Staff and PAC Social
Mark your calendars! The Meet the Teacher social is coming up this Thursday September 28th. Our Fun Lunch vendors have extended special pricing to offer many dinner options for our families to enjoy. We hope you can join us!

Schedule of Events for Sept 28th:
* 4:50pm - 5:20pm: pick up food orders from the under cover area
* 5:30pm - 6:00pm: Classroom Visits
* 6:10pm - 6:30pm: meet the entire Livingstone Staff and PAC team
​
Food Ordering instructions - DEADLINE: has been extended to 11:59 pm on Sunday September 24.

1. Go to www.munchalunch.com and login as usual
2. Choose “Meet the Teacher” (not “Order Lunch!”)
3. Choose the items you would like for dinner
NOTE: Please place your orders under just ONE of your children’s names/division for ticketing purposes.
4. Pay for the order and pick up your tickets on Sept 28th at the Registration station

Volunteers: 
We are looking for volunteers for various events and activities throughout the school year.  This includes Meet the Parents Night, Fun Lunch and Sports and Activities.  If interested in volunteering for any of these, please sign up here. 

Fun Lunch:
Hooray for fun lunch! For those of you who don’t know, fun lunch is a rotating lunch option that is delivered directly to the school.  Parents are able to order from eight (8!) different vendors twice a week (Mondays and Wednesdays) with a couple of extra Fridays.  Go here to sign up or login in and start ordering. 

Livingstone Soiree
Save-the-date for the Livingstone ‘soiree’: February 3, 2024 at Heritage Hall.  This will be a fun night for parents to meet and mingle (this is a kid free event 😊).
 
Communications:
If you are receiving this newsletter then that means you have signed up via our Livingstone PAC webiste.  From this site you can access PAC meeting agendas, minutes and the treasurer report.  You can also receive updates on our Livingstone School Community Facebook page (if you use this form of social media).  This site is not specifically for the PAC and not administered by the PAC, but the PAC uses it to send reminders, updates and volunteer call-outs. You will need to answer a few short questions to be “approved.”
