Dear Parents,
Greetings from Xplor Crystal Falls!
Our summer has been great! Our summer camp program is bustling with new children that we have really enjoyed getting to know, and we have been so busy with fun field trips and exciting visitors. We really had an enjoyable time. Thank you for an enjoyable summer.
We are ready for our 2017-2018 school year! Monday, August 28, 2017 is our official first day of school. We enthusiastically welcome all our families as they return or are new to join! It has been a busy summer of preparation and cleaning on our campus.
This academic year holds great promise to be a year of continued accomplished milestones amongst the children. Our primary goal this year is to create a school environment that combines academic learning and structured play in a fun, safe and nurturing environment. Ms. Kerstin and Mrs. Brandy are working diligently to provide more community impact opportunities, house events and events to advance our mission. We will be sharing more information with you in future Principal’s Newsletters regarding these efforts.
This is an exciting time of year for our community and we are grateful that your family is a part of our programs. As we begin this school year, let us join hands to help see the humanity in each other and help us achieve highly productive partnership between Teachers, Principals and Parents.
On behalf of the Xplor family, our school management team, faculty and staff, I welcome you to the 2017-2018 school year at Xplor Crystal Falls.
Kind Regards,
Alicia Lastovica

Kids Helping Kids: Alex’s Lemonade Stand Results
Thank you to our parents, community members, and local businesses who supported Xplor summer campers with their Alex’s Lemonade Stand fundraisers. The Xplor schools raised over $11,000 for childhood cancer research! ! Our children and hearts cannot thank you enough. What a wonderful town we are! Our summer camp children learned that when it comes to charitable giving, we are ruled out by our hearts. Thank you for helping us mold amazing future adult citizens! As part of our company’s initiative, Kids Helping Kids, the school age children’s success was way more than anticipated
Classroom Transitions
During the week of August 7th you will be receiving a packet of information in preparation for your child’s transition to their 2017-18 classroom. While transitions can come with some new challenges we are already diligently preparing for this school year to make it as simple as possible. Your packet will contain an updated enrollment application; this is due no later than August 28th. Licensing requires that these forms are updated annually. You will also be receiving information about your child’s new class and teacher. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions or concerns. August 28th will be the first day in their classroom if they have one.
Before and After School Care
If you are planning to bring your child for Before or After School Care, please check with the office to ensure that your child is signed up on our Fall Bus list.
If you have not registered for Fall, please do not delay. Ensuring that we are adequately prepared for transporting all our students takes careful planning. We determine staffing and the schools that we service according to this information. There are limited seats on each bus and a limited amount of schools that we can service.
Preschool Events: (Toddlers- Pre-K)
We will have Splash Day every Wednesday for our preschool aged students. On these days, they will need to bring with them a swimsuit, a shirt that can get wet, water shoes, a towel, swim diaper if applicable, and dry clothes to change into after. Generally, Splash Day will be in the morning. To make it easier on the teachers, please bring them in their swim attire. Each year our students look forward to these special days and we can’t wait to share the fun photos with you through Links 2 Home! LAST SPLASH DAY IS August 16TH, 2017.
