We hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with loved ones. We enjoyed celebrating with you all last month. As the winter holidays approach, we have some special events planned for our 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,
Rachel Doumel

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 notification via Links 2 Home as soon as the closure is announced. We also post notifications on our website and Facebook page.

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 brisk, we still go outside for active games and want everyone to be able to participate.
