Director's Corner
``
Welcome to the Director's Corner!
We have had a wonderful opening of school! We appreciate everyone’s cooperation with our new arrival and dismissal procedures. Our 2’s and 3’s are currently phasing in to full time. We appreciate your patience. Over the years we have come to realize that investing in this process allows for a smoother transition for the majority of the children.
If your child is still crying or anxious at home about coming to school, please speak to their teacher to work out a plan. Our 3 year old Preschool Pals and Activity classes begin the week of October 5th. Placement letters will be going home shortly.
Our Four year olds are adjusting to more days at school and are reconnecting with friends from last year and meeting new school friends. They will be having lots of fun with our apple unit. We will be talking about change of seasons and having fun with Fall art and activities. Our 4 year old STEAM class has started. The children will be exploring so many new topics and areas of discovery. The 4’s will begin going to Gym once a month on Mondays. Please check the website calendar for Gym days. Your child must wear sneakers to participate.
The classrooms are very busy with lots going on inside. Be sure to always check our website and Facebook page. The Brightwheel app is allowing a safe entrance and exit to school. I am so happy everyone seems to be getting comfortable with the process. Your child’s teacher will be sending photos through the app. You will not receive photos every day. If you have a question, you may message the teacher, however please understand that they are teaching other classes besides your child’s and so there will not be an immediate response.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to stop in the office, or give me a call.
Best Regards,
Tricia -
