MAY 2016 NEWSLETTER

 

GRAD BOY

Dear Parents,

The month of May is truly the busiest month of the school year at Chesterbrook Academy. Between Teacher Appreciation Week, Pre-K Graduation fundraisers and preparation, Mother’s Day, Summer camp planning, and our final school year progress reports our days are full! We do our best to make sure parent communication is consistent and prompt, so please be sure to read any notices that are sent home, as well as postings in our school lobby. Feel free to inquire at the front desk if you have any questions.

Student transitions to the next level will take place on June 1st after our VPK/Pre-K students graduate. You will be notified shortly, so you are able to prepare your child for what lies ahead.

Our Pre-K graduation ceremony will be held at the Port St. Lucie Community Center on Friday, May 20th at 10:00am & 12:30pm. Specific details have been sent home and are also posted in the front lobby.  You are welcome to invite family and friends to join the celebration. Our Pre-K students have been practicing daily for their special day, and can’t wait to take center stage! Cap & gown orders are in, please stop by the front desk to pick-up yours.

Thank you for supporting our Pre-K graduation fundraisers, your participation is very much appreciated! We still have two more to go. Wednesday, 5/4 – Popcorn & Lemonade, and Friday, 5/13 – Hot Dog, Chips, Yogurt & Juice. Please speak to the teacher if you want to purchase anything for your child to enjoy during lunch or snack time. You may also purchase items during your pick-up time. As a friendly reminder, I would like to remind you that Pre-K graduates who continue on with us this summer will participate in a special “Kindergarten Kick-Off” program. Our Kindergarten Kick-Off curriculum is designed to challenge our Pre-K students, helping them to strengthen the skills necessary for a successful transition to Kindergarten. Additional information on our Kindergarten Kick-Off curriculum goals as well as our summer brochure and calendars are available NOW!

Elementary & Preschool camp is planned and summer packets are available! This year’s summer will be like none other. Our theme is “Come Be Great”. Check out our summer display table for more information. Please register soon, space for elementary age camp is limited.

Building Your Child’s Sense of Family Belonging

May Education Article


LTL%20Logo%202014_jpg

A Powerful Connection to a Lifetime of Learning

Your children experience the perfect balance of of learning and play in a safe, nurturing environment. Our Links to Learning (LTL) curriculum prepares them for kindergarten by introducing concepts in reading, math, art, music and much more. You will receive progress updates, as well as ideas to continue learning at home.

As a reminder, we encourage you to take a few moments each week to review your child’s classroom Links to Learning “Parent Board”. This is one way you can “Link” to your child’s early education experiences. Posted are “Weekly Skills”, “Lesson Plan”, “Daily Schedule”, “Monthly Spanish”, “Learning Outcomes” and the daily “What We Learned Today”.

SIGN-IN & SIGN OUT LOGS:

Signing your child in and out daily is not only a licensing and company policy, but an added security measure in making sure all children are accounted for while in our care. PLEASE BE DILIGENT ABOUT RECORDING THE TIMES YOUR CHILD ARRIVES AND LEAVES. Thank you!


SICK_FACE
SICK POLICY REMINDER:

The purpose of our sick policy is to reduce the spread of illness among our students and to encourage full recuperation of sick children before they return to school.  We depend on parents to assist us in maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all of our children.

Sick Policy:
Children may be sent home if they have any concerning symptoms. In addition, a child must be free of all of these symptoms for at least 24 hours before he/she can return to school. These symptoms include:
  •  A Fever of 100 degrees or more
  • Vomiting within the previous 24-hour period
  • Diarrhea within the previous 24-hour period
  • Symptoms of a communicable disease
  • Fussy, cranky behavior and generally not himself/ herself

Following an illness, a child may return to school once he/she has either been seen by a doctor or it has been determined that illness is not contagious. (A doctor’s clearance may be requested.) Please help us keep all of our children healthy by following these rules. If you have any questions or concerns please let us know. Thank you for your support!


REMEMBER FINGER WITH STRING
TUITION:

Please remember that tuition is due the 1st business day of every month. Accounts not paid in full by 12:00pm the second business day of every month are subject to late fees. If tuition is not paid in full by the 7th business day of each month your child may not attend until the balance is paid in full. Failure to comply with tuition policies will result in a notice of dis-enrollment. If you’d like to sign up for our ACH program, which automatically pulls your monthly tuition from the account of your choice the 1st business day of every month, just let us know and we will get you signed up.

ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS FEES:

If your child is signed up to attend a specific enrichment program, the monthly fee must be paid in full the first week of every month or your child may not attend the second week. Please understand, we are obligated to pay our physical fitness vendors in a timely manner for their services. Credits will not be issued for missed classes due to absence or non-payment.
