March is Coming In Like a Lamb!

February was relatively uneventful at the school, just the way I like it these days.

We have been trying to stay on top of the illness and we appreciate your help by keeping children at home when they are ill and giving them the rest, they need to get better. I am hopeful that the children will start to build up their immune systems as we get closer to spring!

March is a long and busy month with a great deal of work to do in it. I imagine it will fly past as quickly as January and February did and we will soon be staring April in the eye.

Here are some of the tidbits to pass along:

-A huge thank-you to everyone who donated to our Valentine’s community project to The Root Cellar. They were grateful for the 51 boxes of cereal that the children delivered to them and wanted to pass along a thank you for our thoughtful donations.

-Please make sure your child has proper outdoor wear. If you are missing mittens, please feel free to ask us because we have some singles of both mittens and gloves floating around. There are also a pair of snow pants who float from hook to hook as well.

-Please make sure your child does have extra clothing at the school, we hardly have anything for anyone but toddlers and if your child is out and gets wet, we will need you to come and bring them dry clothing. Be sure to send socks!!

-Children will need warm waterproof boots for walks. The sidewalks may still be snowy and icy/slushy/wet, and runners are not the suitable just yet.

-If your child is sick, there is a 48-hour symptom free policy that they must abide by. Also, siblings must stay home as well as they are carriers if there is an illness in your household. We understand and appreciate this may be an inconvenience; however, we need to keep everyone healthy.

-All school divisions are registering new students entering kindergarten and grade 1. Please make sure to contact your school for further information. If you need any information regarding school, please ask and we can help as best we can.

-Income Tax receipts have been emailed out. If you feel there is an error, please let me know and I can investigate it and get it corrected for you;

-Summer and Fall registration forms are to be returned by March 10^th. Please ask if you have any questions about changing days, adding siblings, summertime, or the kindergarten program. I will be happy to answer them.

Have a great month. Hopefully spring will surprise us shortly!!
