****The Optional Intensive program needs a Program Coordinator for August 2010, or we will not be able to offer the program***** Please consider stepping up to help with this worthwhile program.
Our Optional Intensive program is run by Parent Volunteers. It is designed to give our teachers a chance to have some quality program planning time together to strengthen our school curriculum. It runs from 1:30 to 3 PM on Fridays when school is in session
(not on In
Service days). The cost is $5 per child per week, $10 for 2 or more
siblings. Please make a check out to RSV or Rilke Schule Verein and write "OI's" on it. You may sign your child up for one
week at a time or for the whole quarter.
There is a drop box for OI payments at the front desk. It's a locking box, so payments can be put directly into the box without having to disrupt our fabulous office staff. Please put payments in an envelope with the student's name and which O.I. they are attending. This not only ensures proper crediting of your payment, it stops the need for office staff to have to label your payments with post-it notes. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!
If you sign up for homework club on Fridays, you MUST also sign up and pay separately for an Optional Intensive.
To Register for a class, fill out the form at the bottom of the page and email it to us. Note: The registration form will be available for First Quarter 2010 when we have enough volunteers to hold classes, hopefully by the time of school registration in early August. You can sign up for
one or many weeks for a class, or for different classes on different weeks. You will receive a
confirmation email. Please register your child by Wednesday evening for
the program for that week, so we can be sure to have enough Parent Volunteers to help. After Wednesday, children may join only on a space-available basis. Email any questions to rilke.optional.intensives@gmail.com.
O.I. Coordinator - We are currently looking for a volunteer to manage next year's O.I. program. This volunteer is responsible for lining up programs for the children and finding volunteers to staff them. A volunteer is needed now to begin planning for next fall to have an optional intensive program.
Program Leaders and assistants - The Optional Intensives are an opportunity for the larger Rilke Schule community to help teach our children interesting skills, and to help support the Rilke Schule teachers. We need parent volunteers to help out.
WE WANT YOUR SKILLS
AND TALENTS!! You
can help out one Friday or every Friday, whatever works for your schedule. We especially need Kindergarten and 1st grade parents to help with the KinderOp, but we also want to add new programs for older kids. Instructions for Volunteers
O.I. VOLUNTEERS GET DISCOUNT FOR KIDS! The Optional Intensive Program is pleased to announce that starting with the Third Quarter, up to 15 adult volunteers per week will pay only $1 per child for their kids to attend an O.I. if they volunteer to help, too. The regular fee of $5 per child will apply if the parent is not volunteering. We want to encourage as many parents as possible to participate in the program, and we hope this gives you an incentive. We appreciate your help! Use the regular registration form to indicate which days you are able to volunteer. Thank you!
OI THANK YOU's The Optional Intensive program wants to send a big THANK YOU to all the parent volunteers who helped with OI's during the fourth quarter. It wouldn't run without your help!!

Title: KINDEROP Description:
The Optional Intensive program is offering a multi-activity program for
Kindergartners and First Graders. The children will play a variety of games and activities outside and indoors
that include soccer or other weather appropriate P.E. activities, games, stories, songs, and simple crafts. We split into smaller groups and rotate activities to provide enrichment. We will do our best to accommodate children who wish to
remain longer in one particular activity. When there is another suitable activity offered (like our Nature programs), the young children will automatically attend those, you do not need to sign them up separately. Leaders: Parents and Interns Grades: K and 1 Maximum Number: 30 Weeks Offered: All quarter
Cooking Tammy Gifford has offered to teach a cooking class in our new kitchen. It should be a ton of fun.
German Games, Board and otherwise We have a great collection of German and other board games for kids to enjoy on Friday afternoon.
************************************************* REGISTRATION FORM
Even if your
child was registered last quarter, you MUST sign them up again for this
quarter. If your child attends homework club on Fridays, you MUST also sign
them up for O.I.s. The cost for all 8 sessions will be $40, or $5 per class.
Parent volunteers get discount(s) for their kid(s). Children who
repeatedly misbehave during Optional Intensives will be asked to leave the
program. Please make sure your children understand that it is a privilege to
participate in this program run by volunteers. Thank you parents, for your help
with this.
