Calling all Kinder 2023-2023 School Year!!
In order to create the most accurate enrollment picture for budgeting next year, we are working to identify as many incoming kinder for NEXT school year. If present Caverly/Lothrop Families have children who plan to attend Kinder next year, please respond to this email or send an email to Sara Eddy in the front office, even if you we know your family well :)
If you know of a family that might not be connected to Caverly/Lothrop, yet, please encourage them to reach out to Sara or I. If you really do not know a family, but suspect they may have children entering Lothrop Kinder next year, providing any information to us will be helpful and we will reach out to them.
Pittsford is awesome at getting this type of word out and information to us-thanking you all in advance!
Lothrop Annual Halloween Parade
The 2022 Lothrop Halloween Parade will be held on Monday, October 31st at 1:15 PM. We will begin the parade on the blacktop and proceed across the playground, out to Pleasant Street, up Arch to the Village Manor. We will turn around in the Manor, where they plan to have residents to provide classes with goodie bags. This will be a great community connection.
Children may bring costumes for the parade. They can change just before, unless you hear different in your child's newsletter. We ask that costumes do not include masks as they often cover the eyes, impeding vision and causing a potentially unsafe situation as we march.
As usual, costumes should not include weapons, blood, or gore. They should be school-appropriate and consider that we will have children in grades K-6 participating. Please also consider your child's footwear choice as the walk is a little bit of a hike if one is in high heel shoes :)
Should learners wish to dress up and need help finding a costume, we have some available at the school. Please let your child's teacher, myself or the front office know as soon as you are able.
Families may view the parade from Pleasant Street and Arch Street. We will help children with costumes when it is time and if individual classrooms need help, they will reach out as well. Many times, our Middle-Level learners enjoy helping our Littles get ready! If you wish to pick up your child after the parade, please send in a note ahead of time and ensure that you connect with your child's teacher before leaving with your child.
Guidance on snacks and further activities for the day will come home in classroom newsletters.
