Dear Families,
As we welcome the sunny days of June, we have a few important events and updates to share with you. Here’s a look at what’s happening this month at LEAP Children’s Center!
📅👨👩👧👦 Family Council Meeting (June 11): Join us for the final Family Council meeting of the school year on June 12th. Your input and involvement have been invaluable, and we look forward to wrapping up the year with your insights and plans for the future.
👨👧👦💙 Father's Day (June 16, 2024): On June 16th, we celebrate Father's Day, a special time to honor all the amazing fathers and father figures in our LEAP family. We hope you have a wonderful day filled with love and appreciation.
🚍🏫 Safety Town (June 17-21): “Every summer in Santa Barbara, over five hundred pre- and post-kindergarten children prepare for the school year by participating in Safety Town, a safety education program that has served children of Santa Barbara County since 1975. During each five-day session, students learn and practice the essential safety skills they will need in their daily activities at school, at home, and in their community” (https://www.sbsafetytown.org/About_Us/ ). We are happy to partner with Safety Town to provide this opportunity to LEAP preschoolers.
Please note that only students who are enrolled in kindergarten are eligible to participate. The children who are enrolled in TK will be eligible to join the program next year.
Families whose students will be part of this program will receive a CareConnect message and a flyer with detailed information about the program and steps that need to be taken for a smooth transition. Safety Town is a fantastic opportunity for our students to learn about safety in a fun and interactive way. Please ensure your child is on time and prepared for these exciting days!
✊🏾📅 Juneteenth (June 19): In observance of Juneteenth, LEAP Children’s Center will be closed on June 19th. Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and is an important day of reflection and celebration. While our school will be closed, we encourage families to learn and celebrate together.
🌞🌻 Summer Solstice (June 20, 2024): June 20th marks the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year and the official start of summer! We look forward to enjoying the warm weather and the exciting activities that come with it.
📲📝 Important Reminder: Please utilize CareConnect as a tool to report absences. This way office staff and teaching team is being notified immediately.
