Due to the up/down weather in January we were able to get outside from time to time…and it was WONDERFUL!!! When the weather is frightful (aka windy and freezing cold), the children became accustomed to being inside and doing gross motor activities and movement cd’s to burn off some energy. The teachers have done a great job to come up with fun activities for the children to fill the void of being outside. I am hoping we can continue to sneak outside this month.
Please make sure that your child has extra clothes at the school in case we do go out and has a fall. Please ensure they have waterproof boots and a few pairs of extra socks.
Everyone needs to bring boots, coat, snow pants, toque and mittens each day. It’s better to have them for outings. We will not risk taking a child out who is not properly dressed.
We are closed on Monday February 20th, 2023, for Family Day; however, we are open the remainder of the week as all schools are closed for Teacher’s Convention. Please let the staff know if your child will be absent as we need to keep track of everyone.
Thank you to all those families who kept their ill children at home. By allowing them the time to rest at home they recovered quicker and did not pass the germs around. It is greatly appreciated! Please be sure to familiarize yourself with the new health policies, they are in the best interest of the students and staff at the school and keeping everyone healthy.
Income Tax receipts will be issued shortly. They are emailed out from our system. If there is an error such as address or name of who is receiving the receipt, please let me know and I can change it and resend it to you.
There is not a great deal happening this month. Hope everyone stays healthy and warm. We will continue will kickboxing on Mondays (as the weather allows), Social Thinkers on Tuesday and Sunshine Circle on Wednesdays and Music on Thursdays. These activities make the week go by quickly.
Stay warm and enjoy February!
