Computer Trouble
As many of you may know, we have been having some technological difficulties over the past two weeks. While we now have access to the internet, the rest of our server is still completely down. What this means for you:
  1. We do not have access to our typical email system. If you need to contact us through email, please use the following email address until our server issues are resolved: katieskidslearningcenter@gmail.com.
  2. We do not have an updated version of our quickbooks file which means we are unable to view your current balance or statement. This should be rectified over the next few days, but will require a lot of data input on our end first. So please be patient with us as we work to fix this issue.

Water Days
Summer is almost here! We will be having water days this summer starting June 1st. Please watch for further information including the schedule for water play. In the meantime, please make sure your child is prepared with the following items:
  1. swim suite
  2. water shoes (no open toe shoes or crocs!)
  3. towel
These items can be left at school during the week and will be returned on Friday's for cleaning.

Garage Sale Finds
Along with Summer, comes garage sale season. If you are out and about and happen upon the following items, we would greatly appreciate donations!
  1. Our preschool classrooms are looking for spare clothes. They are in particular need of girl and boy pants in sizes 3T, 4/4T, 5/5T, and 6.
  2. We would like some durable items for our sandbox outside such as old pots and pans, metal buckets, strong but child safe shovels, etc.

Teacher Appreciation Week

Thank you so much for all of your generosity! Our teachers enjoyed the week we planned, and we could not have done it without you!
