Message from the Head of School
Dear Goshen families,
Thank you for joining us for parent-teacher conferences last week. I hope you enjoyed being with teachers and that you are pleased with your child's progress thus far. We have lots more learning to do and plenty of fun planned between now and early June!
To all returning families, please remember to return your Enrollment Reply forms by tomorrow, January 28. These forms are the first step toward saving your child a spot for 2020. If you did not return the form today and your child will not be in school tomorrow, please consider dropping it off in the overnight box located by the front door of the Administration building. Please feel free to email Susan Swanson at
[email protected]
if that is not possible. Thank you for your help!
Camp registration opens up to the general public next Wednesday, February 5. Our summer camp has become well-known in the area, and we have significant interest from new families. We limit enrollment to keep the experience intimate, so we encourage you to sign up soon! Please see more details at the end of this newsletter.
We have an Open House coming up this Sunday, February 2 from 1 to 3 pm. If you have friends who are looking for a Preschool, please encourage them to attend!
Registration is appreciated, but not mandatory!
We are looking forward to jumping with our families at Jumper's this week! We will see Owls, Bears and Butterflies on Wednesday (1/29) and Froggies, Ladybugs and Bumblebees on Thursday (1/30). Remember: we will meet you at Jumper's!
Finally, I would like to send a warm welcome to our new By My Side families who start this week. We are happy to have you in our community!
Have a great week!
In Friendship,
Tr. Mimi
