Notes & Reminders

Thank you to all families for remembering your teachers on Valentine’s Day with cards, candy, and gifts. We are truly appreciative of your kindness and generosity.

On Tuesday March 17th children are invited to wear green in honor of Saint Patrick’s Day.

We recommend frequent washing of cot covers and also any blankets your child may be using at school in order to keep illness to a minimum and to keep your child as healthy as possible.

While “Spring” is around the corner, there are still opportunities for bad weather during the next month. Should bad weather be forecast please check your phone/messages for Honeywell alerts. They are sent out as soon as we are aware of a change in operating procedures. Also, please be aware that a “Delayed Opening”

means school will open for everyone at 10:00 am.

Looking ahead to next month, please remember that if your child is in the Full Day program, school will be closed on Friday, April 10th in observance of Good Friday. If your child is enrolled in the School Day program (8:30 to 3:00), school will be closed from Thursday, April 9th (Holy Thursday) through Monday, April 20th for Easter recess.
