Dear Parents,
Welcome to the 2013-2014
school year! This is an exciting
time for your child, although he/she may be a little apprehensive about going
to “real” school. This is also a
time of mixed emotions for parents; joy that your child is ready for school,
but sadness because he/she is no longer a “baby”! The first day of school will mark one of the most important
milestones in your child’s life.
Be assured that I will do
my best to make this school year an enjoyable time for your child, but also a
time filled with real learning. We
will spend plenty of time learning those things we are supposed to learn, but we
will also be learning through play.
Play is essential to development and “life skills”. We will also spend time doing a lot of
hands on learning.
I am excited to see your
children and get to know them and you!
This can be a new community for you, if you would like to get
involved.

I
will be needing a parent volunteer each day from 9:55-11:05 for AM students, and 2:15-3:20 for PM
students. If you would like to
help us out please sign up at open house for which day you would like.
·
If you would
like to volunteer to be in charge of our Parties, again, please be sure to sign
up at Open House.
·
If you can be
present for field trips you may sign up for those too!
·
We have no PE
teacher available, if you would like to volunteer to teach our PE class on
Thursdays I will need someone at 9:05-9:35 for AM class and 1:05-1:35 for PM
class.
Birthdays are always fun
to celebrate. Treats are welcome
for your child’s special day, however we ask that instead of cupcakes you send
cookies, popsicles, or other small wrapped treat. If you send birthday party invitations to school, please do
not write names on the invitations but have an invitation for each child, that
way we don’t need to spend our precious time handing out invitations and no one
feels left out.
Snacks: We will be asking each of you to
occasionally send in snacks. The
first of the year we will ask you to send in a big box of Gold Fish, or a big
bag of cereal, or other unwrapped snack.
We will also be serving the children a carton of milk.
Schedule: First Day of School is August 12th.
