Director’s Notes
February is the month of love and we’re looking forward to celebrating with our friends!
If you would like to bring Valentine cards, please address them:
To: Friend (No Names)
From: Your child’s name
This makes it easier for non-readers and the children can enjoy passing out their own Valentines. *All Valentines are due to the office no later than Monday 2/9 to be sorted. *Valentine Parties will be during afternoon snack times. Sign-up sheets (which tell you how many kids are in your child’s class) are posted by each classroom door.
Parent Reminders
*Please make sure your child has extra changes of clothes in their cubbies (especially for cooler weather)! Also, please remember to LABEL everything including hats & gloves!
*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.
*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.
*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.
