Dear Parents,

The children seem to be enjoying their back-to-school activities. With fall upon us, we are all
looking forward to the cooler weather.

Picture Day will be on Wednesday, October 6th. If this is not your child's normal day, please
see Joanne.

On Friday, October 29th, (weather permitting, if rain is forecasted, we will change the date)
we will be having our costume parade for Halloween. We invite the parents to attend but
families must wear masks and socially distance from each other. Normally we would have
snack together inside after the parade, if the weather cooperates, we will have snack outside.

Just a reminder school will be closed Monday, October 11, 2021 for Columbus Day.

Our Parent Teacher Night, will be Wednesday, October 13, 2021.
We are requesting at least one parent attend. This is only for parents so no children should
attend. We will start at 7:00 pm. This is parent teacher night for Miss Cathy and Miss Kristin'sroom, Miss Kim's room and Mrs Fazio and Miss Lise's room.

If you have any questions, please do not hestitate to contact me.

Sunblock- We do have a sunscreen shade on part of the playground, but your child will also need sunscreen.
Please apply sunscreen to your child before they come to school. It is considered a topical medication
therefore, we need a written permission slip and the sunscreen you want us to put on your child.


Clothing Bins
- Please check your child's bin for appropriate clothes now that the weather is getting cooler. Just a reminder when we do go out on the playground the children must wearsneakers. Your child's name should be on each piece of clothing, especially your child's
jacket.


Sick Policy- A child cannot attend school if they have a fever. Anything over 100 is a fever. Your child must be fever free for 24 hours before coming back to school and must have a
negative COVID test result.


Pizza Fridays- We will be continuing pizza Fridays. If your child attends on Friday, you can pay $15 per month and pizza will be supplied. For September it was automatically

 IMPORTANT NOTICES

School Snacks and Lunch

This is a peanut and nut free school including all tree nuts. Please do not send your child in with any nut
products. There is a sunflower seed spread that tastes like peanut butter that is available. If you are
using a peanut butter substitute, please tell your child's teacher so that we know it is not peanut butter.
Also we do not allow whole carrots or hot dogs for lunch. The carrots can be shredded or cooked and sent
in. If you have to send in hot dogs they have to be halved length wise and cut into very small pieces.
Grapes and cherry tomatoes must also be cut. Please note filtered water, and 1% milk is offered at snack
and lunch. Snack consists of crackers, fruit, vegetables, cheese, pretzels, goldfish, and selected cookies.
Lunch is supplied by parents. Please have your child's lunch in a lunch box clearly marked with their name.
If their lunch must be kept cold, please place an ice pack in the lunch box. No food can be heated.
Parents have used a thermos for mac and cheese, soup and chicken nuggets. If needed,
your child will be
given assistance setting up their lunch. The toddlers will have their lunch set up for them and will be given
assistance with eating. Please note all lunch boxes will go on top of the work bin shelf in your child's classroom.
Due to fire marshal restrictions nothing can be left in the hallway. *** Please note if your child has any food allergies,
you need to supply all their food including snack.

Mrs Fazio's, Miss Kim's or
Miss Cathy’s class, please provide us with two or three diapers or training pants along with a small container of wipes.

School Days and Hours
Just a reminder that you must adhere to the schedule you enrolled your child for. We must 
keep a specific
"child to teacher" ratio so this schedule is very important.
Also there are no make-up days if your child is out ill
and if you bring your child in late you must still pick them up at their normal dismissal time. There will be an
overtime charge for late pick-ups.
Tuition
Please note tuition is based on the number of days your child attends in a school year. It is then broken down
into ten equal payments.
Toys
Please note: We do NOT allow children to bring toys to school. Please adhere to this policy.
