Cold Weather Reminders

Now that the snow has finally started falling, we would like to remind all parents/guardians to dress their children ready for cold weather. Please send boots, heavy coats, mittens and hats to school with your child on cold, snowy days. Our classes will go outside even on cold days. Please send these items to school in reusable bags, per licensing we cannot have plastic bags in our hallways. This is also a good time to refresh back up clothing for your children in their classrooms. Please make sure they have winter appropriate clothes to change into if needed. 

Winter Break

Winter Break is coming up. Mark your calendars as school will officially be on winter break starting on Monday, December 20,2021. We look forward to seeing all students back in school on Tuesday, January 4, 2022! As a friendly reminder, the office will be closed during this time.
