What a great start to the school year!
Students are adjusting to new routines, rules and friends. Specials classes begin this week so you may hear about PE, Computer, Art, Music and Atrium. Students who are here full time will attend all of these classes throughout the week. If your child is here part time, we have attempted to schedule your child for as many specials as possible without compromising critical classroom time with your child's Head Teacher.

Please try to send your child in clothing items that he/she can manage independently. Elastic waistband pants are wonderful! Belts, zippers, buttons and anything that your child hasn't mastered yet should be saved for later in the year. Right now the focus for all of our students is separating from loved ones independently, learning rules, making friends and handling routines successfully. Zippers, buttons, ties on shoes and other fine motor skills will be added later.
