September Newsletter
“The son of man did not come to be served, but to serve.” -Mark 10:45
Monthly Theme
This month’s theme is “Community Helpers”. We’ll be learning about teachers, firefighters, paramedics, police officers, construction workers, etc. 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.
Our Creative Curriculum Study will be “Beginning of the Year” where we become familiar with the classroom and school routines and learn to find comfort in being a member of the classroom.
Question: What are your class rules?
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 with Alliance Dance Academy and Soccer Shots is back in action! We are excited to introduce Baby Buckets for children 2+ which will be onsite as well. Please see the office if you have any questions about any 3 of these programs. We plan to do a Trunk-or-Treat in the Camp Lowcountry Day parking lot on Friday, October 27th. More details soon to come.
Our 2023-2024 Parent Handbooks will be available early September and ready for pick up at the front office. Additionally, your annual re-registration fee of $75.00 is due September 15th. If your child was registered after March 1, 2023, you will not have to pay a registration fee at this time. If you attended Summer Camp, after school registration is paid for the 2023-2024 school year, it will expire at summer registration for 2024 Summer Camp. Please note our rates will be increasing. *New weekly charges start October 2nd, 2023.
COMING SOON: Procare’s Parent Engagement App where you will be able to see all your child’s activities, milestones, and photos.
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. And remember save those cute sandals, flip-flops and Crocs for home. They are hazardous on the playground and the children can easily slip in them.
