This month’s theme is “Community Helpers”. We’ll be learning about teachers, firefighters, paramedics, police officers, construction workers, and all sorts of other careers.
We are looking for parents to volunteer a few minutes of their time to speak to our preschool classes about their professions. If you would like to help, please sign up! We would be so happy to have you and Thankful for your time!
Our Letters for this month are: A-B-C. Our Numbers are: 1, 2, 3.
Our Shape is: square and our color this month is: red.
This month’s Bible theme is: “Service.” Service starts with God!
When we serve others, we’re actually serving God.
After School News
Buses are now on schedule and the After School Program is running smoothly.
Parents, please notify the office on days your child will NOT be riding the bus. Remember to label all backpacks with your child’s first and last name. Keep all toys at home; no personal play items. Be sure to LABEL EVERYTHING. There is no need to call; we will always call you if your child does not get off their assigned bus.
Director’s Notes
Fall is in the air! Ballet, Soccer, Basketball and now Karate is starting soon! Please see the office if you have any questions about any 4 of these programs.
Our 2024-2025 Parent Handbooks will be available by September 6th and ready for pick up at the front office. Additionally, your annual re-registration fee of $100 is due September 20th. If your child was registered after March 1, 2024, you will not have to pay a registration fee at this time. If you attended Summer Camp, after school registration is paid for the 2024-2025 school year, it will expire at summer registration for 2025 Summer Camp. Please note our rates will be increasing. *New weekly charges start September 30, 2024.
Please make sure that we have your child’s current immunizations on file.
This record is required by the State of South Carolina, and your immediate assistance is appreciated.
Parent Reminders
*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).
*Due to heat advisories and thundershowers, our playground outside times may vary and the class schedule may be altered to accommodate play time.
*Please make sure your child has extra changes of clothes in their cubbies.
*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.
*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.
*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 LABELED Sunscreen and Bug spray.
*To see all messages, parents must clock in/out with our ProCare touch screens. If your fingerprint is not working, please see the office for assistance.
Serving Christ,
