Dear Parents,
Music to my ears as I listen to so many children practicing for their May performances. Please check in your child’s classroom for a list of dates pertaining to events in our Intermediate, Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten classes. You will start to notice our front landscaping change as our students will be busy planting flowers and vegetables. During the growth of the plants the children will be capturing data as they journal all changes.
The singing of the birds and the blooming flowers mark the beginning of Spring! This is the time of year we all start to plan for the summer months. In your child’s classroom there will be a posting for your completion as to when your child will be on vacation throughout the summer. Please remember that you have one week vacation from July through June that does not require a tuition payment. You must have passed your six months of enrollment to be eligible for one week’s vacation. There will also be a section for those children that will be leaving just for the summer months.
Children love to create. Allow your child’s creative side to shine through their many projects such as cards, drawings, and handwritten notes. These are items that you as a parent will cherish for many years and remind your child in years to come of their accomplishments. The materials they need can be a simple as a few crayons and a piece of paper. It is nice when they produce using simple materials rather than working on a computer with a program that will color between the lines. Your child’s art work is a display of their uniqueness and self expression. Have them draw a self portrait from time to time and make comparisons as to the difference in their work. I am sure what might have been questionable as to its being will take form as a person. Sit down with your child enjoy a conversation and work on a project together. This will provide you and your child with a wonderful opportunity to share a magical moment.
Until June,
Miss Cindy

For Parents & Teachers
Just A Reminder: Please remember your child’s teachers are here to make your day start off on a good note. Having trouble separating in the morning? Talk with the teacher. Should you want the teacher to assist with you child you simply need to let us know. No one wants to step out of their place and become involved in a situation we are not invited.
Morning Snack is served between the hours of 8:00 AM until 8:30 AM. Our school’s morning snack in no way meets the dietary needs of a breakfast. Please be mindful of your child’s class schedule since their activities begin promptly at 8:30 AM as we will not be providing the morning snack after this time. Should you arrive after 8:30 AM with your child eating food, you have supplied, it is necessary for you to stay with your child in an area other than their classroom. Please remember when you are substituting a portion of our lunch it needs to be kept in your child’s classroom in their cubby. Their food items should be peanut free and not needing to be warmed or cooked.
Safety First:
Our Drop Off and Pick Up Request is for the safety of our youngest students. When dropping your children off in the morning please bring the oldest child to their classroom first. When leaving for the day please pick up your youngest child first. This practice will eliminate the opportunity for an incident or an accident to occur in our young classrooms. Too often the older sibling will believe they are helping although they quite innocently can be the cause of a situation. We appreciate your cooperation as our goal continues to be to provide the safest environment for all of our students.
Parking Lot Safety
We are working to keep our parking lot a safe area for our families. Gold’s Gym along with the owners of the Golden Meadows Park are aware of our concerns. We encourage all of our families to do our part in maintaining the speed limit and to remain courteous to our fellow drivers.
Our school is a Peanut Free environment! It is extremely important that no one send in any food items containing peanuts in any form to their child’s class. We do have children that are highly allergic to peanuts and would never compromise their safety and ask for your assistance when providing treats.
The sunshine is wonderful and all of the children are wearing faces of “joy” as they “enjoy” their time outside. Please remember to apply sunscreen lotions prior to arriving in the morning since many products have an activation period. Each and everyday weather allowing, your child will partake in outside play. Please remember that children must wear appropriate shoes on the playground. No sandals, crocks, or dress shoes are allowed since they do not provide a secure sole on their shoe for our busy students.
Sign In / Sign Out: We know things can get a bit hectic at drop off and pick up, although it is imperative that you sign your child in and out each and everyday.
We understand that with the cold weather comes a cold car. We request than NO vehicles should be running unattended while on the school property.
Outside Play: Our children will be going outside to enjoy the fresh air, weather permitting. This is a licensing regulation, and we will not make exceptions based on a child’s health.
Sick Policy Reminder: The purpose of our sick policy is to reduce the spread of illness among children 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.
School Closings and Delayed Openings
Please remember that should our weather become inclement and present a hazard we will alter our hours of operation. All postings will be announced on WGAL TV and www.wgal.com. Please know that we do not make these decisions in haste, although we must take the safety of all into consideration.
Just a Reminder: Tuition is due no later than the Friday prior to the weekly preferred schedule. This information was noted in your registration and we thank many of you for asking questions to clarify this change. To simplify the change, all tuition payments are due on the Friday before the next tuition week.
