January 2017

Dear Parents and Students,

Ms Couch and Madame Kelly hope that you have had a restful, safe and merry Christmas with your loved ones. We thank you so much for your kindness and support and for the lovely Christmas wishes, kind words, cards and gifts. We wish you all the best for 2017: Happy New Year.

The nice break from harsh weather seems to be over and just a reminder to dress children very warmly (layers work best to protect from the cold) and neck warmers are easier for children than scarves if they are very elastic neck warmers. Keep these items in mind: hats that cover ears, extra mittens and socks and a warm change of clothing for the children's cubicals should their clothing get soaked from a snow or puddle (long sleeved shirts and change of underwear should be included in their change of clothing ziplock bag). Also the classroom can get chilly at times so each child should have a sweater that fits them at school should they need it. The children are growing and some have grown out of their shoes. Check in with your child to see if they are still comfortable in their school shoes and if not, you may have your child bring home the outgrown shoes and bring in a pair that fit well (keeping in mind that the winter socks are bulkier).

As it is very chilly, keep in mind that the Kindergarten pick-up time is 3:20 at the gate at the back of the school. Picking the children up promptly will not only make them feel more comfortable but will also aid with the congestion as the large numbers of older students and their parents arrive at the gate for pick up.

God Bless you and take good care,

Sincerely,

Ms. Couch and Madame Kelly
