Thank you for your cooperation this afternoon at dismissal, it was safe and efficient! This week I had the opportunity to visit classrooms and hear all about feelings, Glad Monster and Sad Monsters, play matching games, participate in circle and story times - your young learners are off to a terrific start. They continue to adapt to their new routines and are getting to know their new friends. We look forward to welcoming you to their classrooms at our Open House on Monday, 9/30 so you can see some of their hard work, and play! Wishing you a good weekend.

Warm Regards,

Julie Martin

I am still seeking a volunteer if you are interested in creating our 2024-2025 Friendship Directory. This is a resource to connect families by providing information so you (and your kids) can make connections. Participation in the Friendship Directory is voluntary and a paper copy will be sent home with your child once it is complete.

We look forward to hosting you and your child at our open house/curriculum night on Monday 9/30 at 6 pm. This is an opportunity to see the learning that is already taking place in our classrooms, learn more about our curriculum, and how play directly teaches and builds skills across the day.

Please label all of your child's clothing and be sure their footwear is appropriate for our playground . Sneakers or close toed shoes are best for running, jumping, playing, and riding tricycles.
