A Note From Our Principal
Summer has come to an end and another school year is upon us. We’d like to extend a warm welcome to our new families, and a sincere thank you to returning families and those that chose to spend their summer with us. We enjoyed making memories with your children!
We recognize that this is a busy time for many families and are using this month’s school newsletter to include reminders on school closures, communication, security and more. Please read through this newsletter carefully, and let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Carol

Links 2 Home
If you’re not currently receiving photos and daily reports for your child you can easily change this by downloading the Links 2 Home app on your phone. Just type ‘Links 2 Home’ in the search bar for the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. After downloading Links 2 Home you can register with the same email address that you used to enroll your child in our school. Links 2 Home also allows you to leave drop-off notes for your child and notify your child’s teacher of absences. If you’re having issues accessing Links 2 Home please let us know.
Security Reminders
The beginning of the year is a time to review our safety procedures. We will be changing the code to enter the building in the coming weeks. You will be notified in person of the new code. In addition, please walk your child to their classroom each morning. Sometimes classes are on the playground when the children arrive and we want to ensure that the child is in the care of an adult. Please let me know if you have any safety or security concerns.
School Picture Day
It’s time to get spiffed up for fall pictures! We will be taking “Pony Pictures” on Monday, September 9th at 9:00 am. These are always great pictures of the children!
