We hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with loved ones and we enjoyed celebrating with you all last month. It’s hard to believe that December is here and that we will be bringing in the new year soon! 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. This month will be filled with many teachable moments as the children learn about family traditions and different winter holidays. 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,
Kesha King, Principal
Kelly Latkovski, Assistant Principal

Parent’s Night Out
We will have a Parent’s Night Out on Friday, December 13, 2019 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The cost will be $25.00 per child ($40 for siblings) and will include pizza and an evening snack. The children will make holiday crafts, play games and watch a G-rated holiday movie.
This is a great opportunity to get your holiday shopping done or have a date night without worrying about your little one. If you would like your child to participate, please let us know by Thursday, December 12, 2019. The sign-up sheet is located at the front desk.
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 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 SPARK activities and want everyone to be able to participate!
Holiday Spirit Week
