Dear SKCEE Families,
This week was full of fun and excitement! Spirit week brought a wonderful dynamic to the building. I enjoyed walking the halls and seeing our students dressed up and showing their school spirit! Shout out to our PTA for planning and implementing an awesome community builder, thank you again for all your hard work and everything you do for our students! I would like to encourage everyone to continue to be diligent when wearing a mask and hand washing/sanitizing. Please complete health checks with your children each day and keep your children home if they are sick. Together, we can keep students educated and keep everyone healthy.
Mark your calendar:
Thank you for your continued support with navigating these unpredictable times.
Sincerely,
Matt Johnson M.Ed.
Principal of Stephen Knight Center for Early Childhood Education
There will be NO SCHOOL for Stephen Knight students Today, Friday, October 9th, 2020. We appreciate your flexibility and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We do acknowledge this was a new addition to our schedule. This is a crucial professional development for
maintaining student safety and meeting requirements for licensing. Originally this professional development was planned to take place during the summer. However, due to the uncertainty of COVID restrictions we were instructed to pause any in person training until this time. Thank you again for your support and patience during this time.
We have weekly office hours for parents 3 to 5 p.m., on Tuesday. Please sign up online!
Each year, Ms. Cookie, SKCEE’s art teacher, helps students tie-dye SKCEE t-shirts to show their school spirit. While we aren’t able to tie-dye them at school this year, the PTA is exploring other options for ensuring that all students have a SKCEE shirt. Please take this brief survey to let us know which option you prefer!
We are so excited to offer our Scholastic Book Fair virtually from October 12th through October 25th! Visit our fair. All BOOK ONLY orders $25+ ship FREE to your house! If you only want one book, consider teaming up with another family to earn FREE shipping. Each order counts in helping to make SKCEE a better place! Teacher wish lists will be shared at the beginning of next week! Our school makes 25% back with all purchases. These rewards help us replenish books for our SKCEE library and MORE! Please contact Michelle Shamis, Book Fair Chairperson, at MichelleLShamis@gmail.com with any other questions!
Mark your calendar for our next virtual PTA meeting on October 21, at 5:30 p.m. A Zoom link will be sent out in next week’s SKCEE Weekly.
This month’s dine/take out fundraiser is being hosted by Mod Market (1000 S. Colorado Blvd.) on October 28. Order dinner for dine-in or take-out and be sure to tell them you are with Stephen Knight Center for Early Education. Mod Market will donate a portion of the proceeds from our orders back to SKCEE
Book drive donations for our SKCEE Library will be accepted every Friday. If you would like to donate new or gently-used books, there will be clearly-marked donation boxes at all school entrances during drop-off and pick-up.
