December Newsletter

A Note From Our Principal,

 

We hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with loved ones and we enjoyed celebrating with you all last month. As the winter holidays approach we have many special events planned for our students and families and look forward to spending time with you all. We’ve also enclosed important winter and holiday procedure reminders in this newsletter. Please read through it carefully and reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Happy Holidays!

 

Sincerely,

Leslie-Ann Jones

 

 

Inclement Weather Reminders 

 

We do not always follow the closure schedule of the local public schools because we don’t have to contend with the same transportation issues as public schools. Our goal is to be open as many days as possible to support our working parents. If we must close because our teachers cannot safely get to work, you will receive a notification via Links 2 Home as soon as the closure is announced. We also post notifications on our website.

Winter Clothing Reminder

 

If you’ve not already done so, please check your child’s cubby to ensure they have an extra set of weather-appropriate clothes. Students also need to come to school each day with a jacket and dressed warm enough to play outside for part of the day. If the weather is cold we still go outside for active games and SPARK activities and want everyone to be able to participate!

 

****** Holiday Closures

 

  • Christmas Eve EARLY CLOSING @ noon.
  • Our school is closed on December 25th for Christmas

Classroom Holiday Celebrations—Friday, December 20th

 

Through the month of December, our classes will be learning about different winter holidays and customs. Our theme is the Polar express. On Friday, December 20th at 3:00 p.m. our students will participate in a pajama day and enjoy themed activities throughout the day in class.
