Back Up Mask Reminder

 

Masks get dirty, ear elastic breaks: we understand that the mask a student wears to school in the morning may not last the whole day.  Please be sure to pack extra masks in your children's backpacks.  We do have extra child-size masks in the office but it saves time if students can simply replace a broken mask with one from their backpack.

happy birthday

Student Birthday Celebrations at School

 

We'd like to remind families that birthday treats for classmates may not contain anything edible because of students with food allergies.  You are welcome to send non-edibles such as stickers, pencils, bookmarks, etc. for the entire class to celebrate your child's birthday.  Please alert your child's teacher by email that you will be bringing in treats; they will be handed out at the end of the day.

Survey of Preschool Children

 

We are currently gathering information for next year’s Kindergarten registration.   If your child is age appropriate for Kindergarten for the next school year (five years old by September 30, 2022), and you haven’t notified the school, please complete the Survey of Preschool Children Form that will be sent home in the upcoming Thursday Folders.  Please return the form by February 18, 2022.
