ARRIVING AT SCHOOL ON TIME
Carnegie has observed a significant increase in the number of students who are marked
tardy to homeroom class. Students should arrive at school before the warning bell
rings at 7:48 AM, and are to be in their seats ready to begin the school day when the
homeroom bell rings at 7:53 AM. It is important that students be in homeroom class on
time to receive vital instruction and information.

MAP TESTING BEGINS NOVEMBER 18

appointments during their student’s English period on these days so testing may be
completed in a timely manner.

ALLIANCE REDWOODS INFORMATION
Below is information about upcoming due dates, fundraising opportunities with Butter
Braid and Boon Supply, and parent chaperones for the sixth grade Alliance Redwoods
science field trip in April.
IMPORTANT DATES
Monday, November 4 – Submit Butter Braid order form and payments to the front
office. You may accept cash or checks (payable to you) from your customers, and then
submit the total amount due for all orders as one check payable to BB West.
Thursday, November 7 – Last day to submit the $200 cash deposit; deposits will be
accepted at the table in front of the MP Room from 7:15 AM – 7:45 AM or in the front
office until 3:30 PM when the office closes.
Wednesday, November 13 – (CORRECTED DATE – your handout stated November 12, on
which there is no school for students!) Pick up Butter Braid items after school from the
front office. Please note: these are perishable items and the school doesn’t have room to
store unclaimed orders. Please ensure that your student has a ride home that
afternoon, as the frozen items can get heavy.
Wednesday, November 20 – Submit Boon Supply paper order forms and payments to
the front office. You may accept cash or checks (payable to you) from your customers,
and then submit the total amount due for all orders in CASH ONLY. Orders will be
shipped to Carnegie a few weeks later for students to deliver to their customers in time
for the holidays.
Wednesday, December 31 – Final day to place a Boon Supply online order.
TWO FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES (Participation is Voluntary)
Paperwork for both fundraisers is available in the front office.
Butter Braids/Cookie Dough Fundraiser – Sixth grade students sell product to friends
and family (door-to-door sales to strangers is discouraged), and students earn $5 for
each Butter Braid and $6 for each cookie dough item sold. Earned funds are applied
directly to each respective student’s balance owed, depending on how much they sell.
Orders and payments due November 4, pick up items to deliver to customers on
November 13.
Boon Supply Fundraiser – This fundraiser is available to all Carnegie students. The 40%
proceeds from all sales will be applied to the overall cost of the Alliance Redwoods trip,
reducing each sixth grade attendee’s balance owed by the same amount.
This is primarily an online campaign – the most convenient way to shop is online at
www.boonsupply.com/1000224. Customers place orders and pay with a credit card,
and items are shipped directly to the customer. Student sellers can also register at this
same site to be able to track their orders. Carnegie’s online ID# is 1000224. Share this
fundraiser by emailing the link to the Boon Supply site via email and text to family and
friends. Online orders accepted through December 31.
Optionally, for sixth graders only, there is also a paper brochure and paper order form
available for in-person sales. ** When collecting orders on the paper order form,
remember to collect $1 per item for shipping and $1 per item for tax. ** Payments may be
collected in cash or checks (payable to you), and then submit the total amount due to
Carnegie in CASH ONLY by November 20. Orders will be delivered to Carnegie in early
to mid-December, picked up by students, and delivered to their customers in time for
the holidays.
PARENT CHAPERONES
Please contact Linda Hoffman [email protected] in our front office to have
your name added to the potential chaperone list. To be considered as a chaperone,
parents must have a completed Annual Volunteer Agreement form as well as fingerprint
clearance on file with Carnegie.
If you’ve been fingerprinted at your student’s elementary school, the clearance does
not automatically follow you to Carnegie; Carnegie staff must request it from the
district’s Human Resources department. If you’ve never been fingerprinted with the
SJUSD, you must make an appointment with the Human Resources department and
present a document provided by our front office. There is no cost to you to have this
service done, and it may take up to two weeks to receive results from the DOJ. Please
contact the front office with any questions.
