Greetings!

First, I would like to thank you for allowing me to partner with you in your child’s education. It is such a pleasure watching them grow and learn more and more each day. Remember, you are your child’s first teacher. Your involvement and support every step of the way is what will carry them all  through out their formative years.

Stepping Up Day June 9th
 Some of our little ones will be moving on to Kindergarten. I would like to have a little ceremony for them. I am setting a tentative date for June 9th.  Please let me know if that date works for you. We have already started practicing. :)



Plans for Summer
Please let me know your plans for the summer and next school year. That includes vacations etc.


Kindergarten Registration

Lateness
Please,  if you are coming in later than your  usual time in the mornings please give me a courtesy call.It will help me in preparation for the day. If you are picking up late please give me a courtesy call.

Breakfast
 I would like to have breakfast over by at least 9:00 the latest 9:30 so we can start circle time.  If you are coming later than that time..Please have your child eat before they arrive.  It interrupts the flow of the morning as well  and throws scheduling off. When the other children see someone else eating it forms a ripple effect .  Not only that your child is missing out from the morning activity.


Snacks
I provide a morning and afternoon snack for the children.  When children come with individual snacks it becomes problematic because everyone wants what the other child has..and crying ensues  so please try to keep outside snacks/candy at home (Unless you can bring for everyone :)  )


Toys
It is very hard for me to keep track of outside toys.  And again it becomes a fight so plleeeease try to keep them home.  I will allow Friday share for show and tell.


Part Time Scheduling
Please let me know your scheduled times that you will bring your child  in advance.  This will help me with planning activities as well as meals. Also note that Full timers  may supersede part time availability.

Attendance
Please make sure sign in the morning and out in the afternoon. Please give a courtesy call or text if you will be late or absent,
