Welcome back to another school year! We hope your child is as excited as we are. Kindergarten has already began and Preschool starts next week. We will be CLOSED on Monday Sept. 5th for Labor Day. Have a wonderful holiday.
We will be having some small playground construction this month. We are installing some new grass in some areas to provide some soft areas to sit on our playgrounds. Thank you for being patient with our construction.
Summer Camp
Summer Camp was a huge success this year. Our field trips were amazing and the kids had a spectacular time. Sign ups for next summer will be posted in March. We have attached some pictures below of the water slides we visited this summer. Thank you Teacher Deana and Judy! We are already looking forward to next year!
Scholastic Book Orders
Scholastic Books are back! Your child’s teacher will give you a catalog. We always have extras in the office as well if needed. Books orders are due to the office by Monday Sept. 26th.
Transportation for the 2011-2012 School Year
If we are transporting your child please be sure that you write a clear Yes or No on their bus schedules. It is very important to talk to your child about coming straight to the bus after school lets out so we can get to all our schools on time. If you feel it is necessary, please inform your child’s teacher that your child needs to catch our van after school.
Infants, Waddlers, & Toddlers
It is still very warm outside so please make sure we have enough labeled sunscreen here for our walks and outside time. Please label ALL your child’s diapers, wipes, cups, bottles, blankets, and extra clothes. Don’t forget to take home your Cuddle-Gram each day and check the diaper board for your baby’s needs even if you are picking up your child in a different room. Teachers will put items that need to go home in your baby’s cubbie. We are still hoping to get some of your family pictures so we can put them on display in our room!
