Three and Four Year Olds - Parent Night

The Parent Night for our three and four year old class is Thursday, September 17, at 7:00 pm. This is an information night and it will be better if you don't bring your children. With 36 little ones between both classes, it will be difficult to talk and listen if they are there.

Hope to see all of you there!

Kindergarten Back to School Night

Back to School Night for our kindergarten class is Tuesday, September 15, at 7:00 pm. Parents, you will be able to absorb more information that night if you don't bring your children. However, if you don't have child care please feel free to bring them. Above all we want you to come that evening.

Hope to see you there!

Gates

We keep trying to make the gates as secure as possible. Today I put a sign on all gates asking everyone to please make sure the gate closes and latches behind you. This is an important safety concern.

Also, we decided to permanently lock the gate that is closest to the 3 and 4 year old cottage. We don't feel that it is safe to keep it unlocked, as it is very difficult to see the gate and who is going in and out. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but know that you understand how important your child's safety is to all of us.

I also asked CMC's maintainance supervisor to assess the gates and advise us. He came over today to inspect them and has some ideas on how to ensure that they close automatically more efficiently. He will be implementing these changes early next week.

We know that these safety measures make your coming and going a little more difficult, but the safety of the children is worth it.

Successful Opening

The first two days of school have been busy and fun. The children are so happy to be back. Many parents have had a difficult time getting them to leave for the day. After a summer of quiet days without children it is so good to have all of you back.

Thanks to all that have turned in registration packets. If you still need to turn in registration materials please come by the office anytime. Also, thank you for giving me your email addresses. Most seem to like the idea of receiving statements through email, and the few kinks I have experienced seem to be working themselves out.

In every cottage there is a copy of the class list near the sign-in sheets. Please make corrections if necessary. I plan to get the new Parent Handbook out next week, and want the class lists to be accurate.

If you need to add or delete extended care, please let me know as soon as possible. It is much better if you inform me of this, and not the teachers, as they have their hands full caring for your children and may not be able to pass the message along to me.

The first week of school is nearly over. Have a wonderful weekend - and we will see you on Monday.

School Tomorrow!

We had a very successful and busy Open House day today. It was so good to see all of you again after the summer break. It is amazing how much taller the children are after only just a few months.

Tomorrow is the first day of school. If you haven't turned in your registration packets yet, please stop by the office and drop them off.

This past weekend I was at the wedding of my son's best friend since kindergarten. As I watched this young man take his bride, all I could think of was dropping Matt off for school and Skyler running up so they could go off and play. Those years were so precious and they went so fast. Treasure each and every moment that you have with your little ones.

See you tomorrow!

Open Houses Tomorrow

It is almost time to come back to The Children's School! Tomorrow, September 8, are the Open Houses. If your child is in the 2s you should have your scheduled time for your Open House. All other families are welcome to drop by their child's classroom anytime between 10:00 am and 1:00 pm.

And Wednesday, September 9 is the first day of school.

See you soon!

Welcome Back to School

All of us at The Children's School are excited about the new school year. We can't wait to see you all again. See you next week!
