Director’s Note

Happy New Year and welcome back! It is our hope you had a blessed and joyous Christmas season with your family and friends.

In an attempt to keep our normal schedule, we are sending out the take home folders. I have kept it brief due to time constraints, but wanted to share a few items with you.

• Playground rules. The teachers and staff developed and documented playground rules. One set are the rules for the 3’s, 4’s and Kindergarten. The other set is for the Toddlers, Young 2’s and Older 2’s. Your child’s safety is very important to us and we are asking families to follow these rules while playing at our Creative School playground. Please take a moment and review the rules.
• A monthly “Flock” session with Denette Mann, our Creative School counselor. She is offering a monthly parenting discussion group beginning in January. There is a flyer included and Denette is assessing the interest of our parents. Please email Denette her at kidsplay@mac.com if you have questions or are interested in attending.

• Calendar items for the month of January include:

• Pizza days are Wednesday 1/11 and Wednesday 1/25. Chick- fil-A is Thursday 1/19.
• Parent /Teacher Conferences are Thursday 1/26 and Friday 1/27, depending on the days your child attends school. Please refer to your monthly class calendar. There is no school on conference days, but we do have childcare available during your scheduled conference time.
• For new families, we will have Tuesday tours on 1/10, 1/17, 1/24, and 1/31 at 10:00 in the Sanctuary. If you have friends or families who would be interested in enrolling next year, please let them know. The website in Admissions has tuition information and the application and enrollment forms available to print. 
• Your application packets will be handed out during the Parent/Teacher conferences. Registration for current families begins on
  Monday, February 13. Please do not bring in your forms early.
  Open registration (for new families) begins o n Tuesday, February 21^st.
• Kindergarten Round-Up is scheduled for Wednesday, February 1^st at 10:00 in the Sanctuary

We are looking forward to a brand new year! These winter months are especially important times of learning and growing for children. Thank you for your support of our school. We are fortunate to have such kind and generous families!
