BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION

We collect Box Tops all year long. Last year we raised over $600! This is such a great way for the school to earn money to purchase needed items for the classrooms and playgrounds. So remember to keep clipping!

Medications:

All medication brought to school needs to have the child's name on it and a medication authorization form needs to be filled out. Any medication needs to given to your child's teacher and not left in backpacks or cubbies. Thank you for your help!

Director's Corner:

Dear Parents,

Although the the summer break was super short this year, it was so nice to see the smiling faces of our returning students, those that come year round, and also several new students. Its hard to believe that September is upon us already, time just flies by when you are watching precious children grow up. As I enter my tenth year at Family of Christ I still get excited to see how happy the children are each day and how wonderfully blessed I am to have such wonderful teachers and staff. It never ceases to amaze me how much they love your children and how hard they work to help them socially, developmentally, academically, and emotionally every single day. It is bittersweet when we know this is the last year we have a child with us but we love that we are able to be an important part of their life. We are looking forward to many fun things coming up and the fall months will be here before we know it! While the weather and seasons might not change much we still love being able to celebrate all the wonderful holidays and events that come up as well as the blessings we receive each day from our Lord Jesus Christ. Each and every one of you are a blessing to us and I thank the Lord each night for bringing you here.

Many Blessings,

Jill Hammond, CDC Director

Morning Drop Off

We had a great start to the school year. Thank you for all the patience when dropping off. Here are just a few reminders.

Building 1: Please remember to park on the right side of the drive through.

Building 2: Please refrain from parking in the loop in front of building 2. You may park at the parking lots or the grass. If you would like to use the drop off lane(BUILDING 2 ONLY), you may do so between 8:15 and 8:35. Pull up in front of building 2 and one of the teachers or Ms. Jill will walk your child to class.

If you plan on spending additional time in you child's classroom you must park in the parking lot.

Please remember to always walk your child all the way to their classroom, and always hold their hand when walking to and from class.
