Notes for picture day: We ask that parents and grandparents refrain from staying during picture time.  Pictures are a great opportunity for children to try something a little scary, develop the ability to overcome fear and to gain trust in one's own abilities.  Teachers will support the children and help each develop emotionally.  

Oct 27th & Oct 28th 

Mark your calendars! 

Your child picture assignment day is posted outside of each classroom.  Check it out!  No orders will be required before pictures.  Pictures will be taken, proofs will be sent to you and then you can order what you like!

Our doors open at 7:55 AM.  While we do allow children to enter until 8:30 AM it is extremely important for the little ones to arrive by 8:10 AM.  All classrooms have a morning routine which is critical to setting the tone for the day.  Children who arrive late miss so much.  For some, arriving late means that they have missed morning center time, Atrium, name writing, table top games, morning meeting or other routine activity.  Arriving late also disrupts the teacher, who has to stop what she is doing to greet the child/parent.

Life happens and sometimes students will arrive to school late.  We understand!  Currently there is a steady trickle of late-arrivers all the way up until 8:45 AM.  Please consider adjusting your morning routine so that your child doesn't miss important classroom routines!

Did you know that risk-taking is a healthy part of child development?  Often we try to protect our children from everything however healthy risk-taking facilitates learning in so many many.  It helps with self-identity, confidence, self-moderation and much more!
