Child Care Chalkboard
August 1-31
Sunscreen Needed
Food and Toys from Home
Please do not allow your child to bring food or toys from home. If your child brings something we will ask you to take it with you when you leave in the morning. However, this sometimes creates for a difficult drop-off so it is best to leave it in the car. Thank you for your help in this matter.
ICE CREAM WAGON
The Ice Cream Wagon dates for August are:
Monday, August 3 (No Beehive)
Friday, August 14 (No WW or BF)
Tuesday, August 18 (Last one for the summer)
Items Needed Daily for Summer

3. Water Bottle (Please label)
Fall Enrollment
Some of you have not gone online to register for the fall program. EVERYONE who plans to attend in the fall must be registered. We are currently receiving calls about our fall program so do not wait or there may not be any spaces left.
Field Trips
Summer is the time for field trips. Please pay special attention to the schedules listed under each week to see if any special items are needed for those days. We will also list a price for field trips with a cost. This price will be added to your bill so that you do not need to bring cash on that day.
Closed for teacher in-service
Immunization Update
Summer and Fall Registration Fees
There has been some confusion about the summer and fall registration fees. These fees are meant to cover bus/van usage, art supplies and any administrative costs. They do not cover the prices charged for field trips. We try to get special deals for field trips since we are going as a group. Then we pass the price charged on to you. Unfortunately, as the prices in the valley are going up the cost of field trips is going up also. We try to keep the additional costs down but we also want the children to have the best childcare experience possible.
