June News Letter

Dear Parents,

 

WOW, where did the school year go? June is here and we are gearing up for a variety of fun-filled Summer experiences! Please feel free to pick up a preschool calendar located at our summer lobby display. Above and beyond fun summer plans, our Links to Learning curriculum will continue to offer skill-based lessons that are unique, age-appropriate and brought to life in a fun imaginative way. All age groups will participate in activities designed to deepen their understanding of the world around them while preparing students for the upcoming school year.

In addition, graduating Pre-Kindergarten students attending this summer will continue to strengthen skills necessary for a successful start to Kindergarten. We want to be sure our graduates are confident and prepared for the opportunities they will face in their academic future. On that note, we are so amazed at the growth and academic success our Pre-K students have shown but are sad to see them go. We hope to continue watching them grow when they join us during summer, winter and spring breaks for camp. We don’t have to say goodbye, just see you soon!

 

Pre-K Graduation will be held on June 9th and 7 p.m. in our courtyard. If you have not turned in your RSVP slip, please do so ASAP. Also, please make sure you send Tera (tera.meschko@nlcinc.com) 5-10 pictures of your child from birth to now so we can complete our slideshow. You will receive your own copy of the slideshow at graduation. Our graduates have been working extremely hard on their performance and our very excited to show off what they have learned!

 

Goodbye attendance binder! Starting this month, we will be using a new sign in and out system on an ipad that will stay on the front desk. PARENT REQUIREMENT: Signing your child in and out daily is a licensing policy and security measure, which ensures all children are accounted for while in our care. Each day, you must sign your child in and out of school using the iPad located at the front desk. Please sign in before you drop your child off in the classroom and wait until you have picked up your child in the classroom before signing out for the day. This will enable our teachers to complete any last minute notations on your child’s daily report and ensure it is 100% accurate before sending.

All authorized pick up and drop off adults MUST have their own PIN and have their picture taken. If you have people on your list that have not set up their PIN or had their photo taken, please have them come into the school as soon as possible to get this done. We will not release the children to those individuals who do not have a PIN.

 

Once again, thank you for sharing your beautiful children. We are grateful that you have chosen Chesterbrook Academy for your child’s early education!

Best regards,

Aimee Sherman, Assistant Principal
