A Note from Our Principal,
We hope your children enjoyed their fall lessons, pumpkin themed activities and classroom celebrations last month. Seeing our students enjoy their Halloween costumes and fall attire is one of the highlights of the year for us. Thank you for allowing us to be part of these special occasions! This month we are focusing on gratitude and connecting with our community. As part of this focus we are busily preparing for our Holiday Giving campaign. This year we are collecting supplies for City House, an emergency shelter for children experiencing abuse, neglect or homelessness. Please be on the lookout for more information.
Sincerely,
Leila Couture
Thanksgiving Feast
It is time for our annual Thanksgiving Feast again! This is one of our favorite annual traditions. On Thursday November 21st at 7:00 pm, our school family will gather for a good old fashioned Thanksgiving celebration. We ask that our families bring their favorite sides, and we will take care of the rest. Please mark your calendars, you don’t want to miss this!
Preschool Professional Development Day: November 11th
Our Preschool classrooms will be closed Monday, November 11th for professional development training. We will continue to provide before and after school care for all of our school age students.
Thanksgiving Holiday
We will be closed on Thursday, November 28th for Thanksgiving but our hours the rest of the week remain the same. Children in our School-Age program are welcome to stay with us the week of the 25th as the public schools we support have various schedules for closure. We have fun fall events planned for each day and love having our older students spend extra time with us during Thanksgiving week. Check out our calendar of events below! Please reach out to us if your child will be attending so we can staff accordingly.
Illness Policy
Our parents are vital partners in helping us to maintain a safe and healthy environment for the students in our school. The most important thing you can do to assist us in creating a healthy environment is to keep your child home if they are ill. This reduces the spread of illness and allows your child to fully recuperate. Children may not attend school until they have been symptom free for 24 hours if they display any of the following:
• Fever of 100 degrees of more—must be fever free for 24 hours with no fever-reducing medicine before returning to school
• Vomiting, diarrhea or stomach upset
• Heavy nasal discharge requiring wiping every 305 minutes
• Persistent, non-productive or barking cough
• Sore throat
• Skin rash, including diaper rash
• Head lice
• Symptoms of a communicable disease
• Fussy, cranky behavior unlike child’s normal demeanor that may indicate illness
For more information please see our Parent Handbook or reach out to a member of our team.
