A Message from the Principal:

We are almost to the end of an awesome summer and hope you and your children have enjoyed it. There is still one month left and then we are going to start off the new school year strong! This month’s events include our new playground installation (which everyone is very excited about), photographs by Laugh Out Loud Photography, and an end of summer Luau. Please take a look at our August newsletter here to see what this month has in store.

Playground Installation: I would like to remind you that our playground install is scheduled for this Friday, July 28^th. During this time, we may not be able to go outside depending on construction. They are planning on working through the weekend and are expected to be done by the end of day on Tuesday. Please excuse any mess and construction during this time. After the playground install is complete, we will be getting turf installed that is scheduled for next Wednesday. We will also inform you of any changes that may occur to this plan. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Laugh Out Loud Photography: Next Thursday and Friday Laugh Out Loud photography will be here! Every child will get to participate in dressing up and getting their photos taken in the morning from 7:30am-approximately 11am. The photographer will be on site in the afternoon from 3pm-6pm so you can stop and view your child’s proofs. If you just stop and view them, you will receive a free drawstring bag with your child’s photo on it, no purchase necessary! Infants through Intermediates will go on Thursday, August 3^rd  and Pre-K and Camp will go on Friday, August 4^th. If your child is scheduled on a day they will not be in attendance  or you do not want them to participate, please let us know so we can make arrangements to accommodate.

End of Summer Transitions: We are preparing for the end of summer camp and the new school year. With this comes transitions for some students into their new classrooms. We will be sending out transition letters next week for those students who will be moving up to the next classroom. We are planning on a two week transition for Infant through Intermediates and a one week transition for Pre-K into Pre-K 2 (due to camp ending). If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meeting with your child’s new teacher, please do not hesitate to let me know.
