Weekly note:

 

​Hi parents,

 

As mentioned last week, we have a new Climbing Club coming up! Only 5 people signed up after I announced that, though, so we need more. I have the signup deadline set for Monday the 9th, as the club starts on Friday the 13th. Here is that direct link into the signup through MSB Activities.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​

​​We will also have a couple more clubs starting in March that we'll have more information on in the coming weeks, including another round of Climbing, Chess, Dance, and Ms. Deidre's Art & Writing!

​

Also, I have opened up the Extended Day form again, ahead of the March Break days. Many of you have already filled it out and just need to email me any changes, but if you haven't used Extended Day care at all this year, you can submit a new signup. Caveat: with all of the weather closures, if we get any more, don't be surprised of any of these days end up being regular school days!

​

Last thing, a reminder: please send kids with winter clothes! While we often shorten outside time on very cold days, we don't usually eliminate it altogether. And sometimes we have to wait longer than we'd want to have an indoor space available.

FAQ of the Week​

What do you do when it's really cold outside?

  • The plan is to go outside every day that it isn't raining. However, that doesn't stop us from using common sense. On exceptionally cold days, when making clothing choices in the morning, it is best to assume that being outside during EverAfter will be happening, even if for shorter periods of time than usual. While we don't have a certain temperature-based rule, we do consider air temp, wind chill, sunshine, precipitation, etc. when we decide whether outside time is required, optional, or not happening. Keeping people happy is the #1 goal! And keep in mind that we include the teachers whose indoor spaces we use in the list of people to keep happy.
