Weekly Review August 13th
August 13th, 2026

Happy New Year!
We are so excited and busy getting ready for everyone!
We also know that this time of year creates for adults and children alike. That's natural. Back to school nightmares? Yeah we have them too! Don't worry, it's pretty unlikely you will actually show up to class with no pants on!
On Wednesday the 26th (tomorrow!) we have Kindergarten and PreK Open House both starting at 9 AM and ending at 10 AM. Kindergarten families will then be given the option to ride the bus at 10 AM.
On Thursday the 27th, we have the first day of school for everyone!!! Drop off for K-5 students begins at 7:45 AM. Make sure to get out to the bus stop 10-15 minutes before your bus time. It takes the buses a little longer to pick up and drop off the first few days of school. It is important to be here on time so that your children can learn the routines and get off to a good start. All staff will be on hand to make sure children find their teachers before we go into the building. No one gets lost on the first day!
PreK Families must walk their children through the playground to the back door. Drop off starts at 8 AM.
Please reach out with any questions or concerns you have! We are here to make your child's learning expereince a good one!
