Weekly Recap:
We had a great first day of school on Friday! Mrs. Selser and I were so impressed with how quickly all the children adjusted to being in their new classroom. Good job prepping them for school moms and dads!!! It is going to be a wonderful school year!!
We had so much fun on our first day of school painting, playing, coloring, singing, dancing and of course starting to make new friends!
A Sneak Peek at Our Upcoming Week:

The children are all catching on really quickly already!

PreK Before Care aka "Early Birds":
If your child will be in need of this service, please be sure to register through your Parent Square Account. Before Care runs from 7:30-8:30am in the Main Building Gym. Please drop your child off at the Main Entrance any time between 7:30 and 8:10am. You will be billed monthly for the days you utilize the service. You may either pay through Parent Square or send your payment in with your child. All information can be found in your Parent Square Account. Please reach out should you have any additional questions.
Please LABEL EVERYTHING that belongs to your little one. It is very difficult for us to keep track of what belongs to whom.
Thank you for returning our school forms so quickly as well as all of your very generous donations of tissues, baby wipes and disinfecting wipes!! I have some of your reusable shopping bags but not sure who they belong to. I will have them by the Learning Center Entrance for you to reclaim on Tues and Wed morning.
