Wow the first month of the new year really flew by! As we begin the month of February, we are seeing more typical winter weather. In the event of inclement weather, please watch for any closings or updates on local radio stations, as well as any announcements made through our Links 2 Home app.
We have also seen many days with more mild weather, allowing classes to take advantage of playing outside. Please make sure your child has appropriate clothing for cold weather, including hats and gloves.
Chesterbrook Academy will be closed on Monday, February 19th for a Professional Development Day. These days help us stay up to date on the latest trends in early childhood education. We will reopen on Tuesday, February 20th as normal.
Until next month,
Vikki & Tracy

Valentine’s Day parties will be held on Wednesday, February 14th at 3:00 PM. Individual sign ups for treats will be in each classroom if you would like to bring something for the party. Please remember that we are a peanut/tree nut free school and any treats must be store bough and free of allergens.
Our Spring picture day will be held on Wednesday, February 21st. Lifetouch photographers will set up in the morning and we hope to begin taking pictures around 8:00 AM. Individual, sibling, and group pictures will all be completed on this day. Please be on the look out for photo flyers the week before in order to select background options. It typically takes several weeks for the picture packages to be shipped to us for families to purchase.

We will be celebrating Dr. Seuss the week of February 26th – March 2nd, ending with a birthday celebration on Friday, complete with a visit from the “Cat in the Hat” and “Things 1 and 2”. We will send home information about the special activities as we get closer to the event.
Reminders
We are in the middle of a very difficult cold and flu season, particularly during the past few weeks. Please make sure to remind your child to wash their hands upon entering their classroom to cut down on the spread of germs.
