Weekly note:
Hi parents,
I mentioned it last week but it bears repeating: Even this time of year, we still spend plenty of time outside. Please send your children dressed for it! While we'll certainly shorten outside time as needed, the kids are still mostly better off out there than couped up in a classroom for 3+ hours.
Also, as get into Winter Break, please make sure you're caught up on both your MySchoolBucks account, and with checking the lost & found!
Looking ahead, we sent reminders about being signed up for All Day Care on Jan 5. If you didn't get that reminder, your child isn't signed up! We already had a hefty number signed up, so we're only got room for about 10 more. The sign-up form is here.
Further out, we are planning for clubs later in the school year. Specifically for Climbing Club, we are looking at doing four more 3-week sessions, one each in February and March, then two more after Spring Break. Exact dates are TBD, but look for the sign-up to be available for the February and March sessions by the end of January.
Lastly, and I made this week's FAQ about it, please log the gym direct line, 828-484-4989 in your contacts, and if you are even running late to pick your kids up, please call that number before 5:45. If we know you're close and only a few minutes late, we may even spare you the late fee!
