A Note From Our Principal
How is it possible that we have begun February already? The year is flying by and every day is busy.
February is another busy month with fun days and of course Valentines parties. Please remember when bringing in treats for class celebrations we are a Nut Free school. Just a quick reminder that we shall be closed to students on Monday, February 20th while our staff participates in Professional Development. Early Childhood teachers are required to receive a set number of continued education hours per year and we always enjoy learning new things during these trainings. I certainly hope that you are able to enjoy a 3 day weekend with your little ones.
We will be hosting the Valentine’s Dance his year on Saturday, February 4th from 5PM-8PM. Come join us for a great night of fun with your child.
Registration for summer camp and for the new school year will be upon us before we know it. Watch out for paperwork and as always, we will try to make it as easy and painless as possible.
As always, thank you for all that you do to help our very busy school to run as smoothly as possible.
Stay warm, safe, and busy this February.
Sincerely,
Ramona Shimmel
