After School News
Beaufort County Schools Closings:
If your child is not signed up for Summer Camp, May 30th will be their last day (unless an earlier date is requested).
Summer Camp kicks off on June 2! Summer Camp is right around the corner! This summer, our theme is VBS’ Magnified. Magnified! VBS will encourage kids to look closely at the details of God’s amazing world and magnify, or proclaim, the greatness of God. Summer Camp is open to all graduating Pelicans as well as Kindergarteners through age 8. All students turning 9 before June 1st have sadly aged-out of our program.
Director’s Notes
We have a couple events around the corner! We will be hosting “Donuts with Grownups” during drop-off hours on May 23. We encourage all parents or parent “fill-in” (Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle) to drop off this morning for a special breakfast with your child in the cafeteria.
Pelican graduation will be on Saturday, May 17th at Camp Lowcountry Day at 10AM for those who will be entering Kindergarten in the fall.
Be sure to apply your bug spray and sunscreen at home prior to coming to class. We may re-apply in the afternoon if needed. You may bring in LABELED sunscreen and bug spray.
We would like to wish all our Mothers a wonderful Mother’s Day and hope everyone will have a safe and fun Memorial Day! ***Reminder; we will be closed May 26th!
Parent Reminders
*Check daily reports for any needs such as extra changes of clothes, diapers, wipes, pull-ups, etc. Please check your child’s clothes in their cubby to make sure they are set for warmer, spring weather.
*Important reminder: Please keep your children at home if they are sick or exhibit symptoms of being sick. (Vomiting, fever, diarrhea, sore throat/cough, eye infection, rash).
*Be mindful during drop-off/pick-up. 3 minutes only under the porte chere. If you need to take a phone call, please park on the side of the building.
*Drop-off cutoff is 9:30AM, unless prior arrangements have been made with the office. For security reasons, the doors lock at 9:30- we are sometimes in the classroom and not always available to buzz you in.
*Reminder: School closure is 6:15pm sharp! As stated in our handbook, late fees will be applied.
*Every parent should have a security key card on hand. Please remember the Directors are not always at the front office. If you are habitually having to be buzzed in, we will assume you have lost your card and will issue you a $10 replacement card.
*To see all messages, parents must clock in/out with our ProCare touchscreens. If your fingerprint is not working, please see the office for assistance.
