Fall is finally upon us! There is a chill in the air and the leaves are beginning to change, this is a wonderful time of year to get outside and explore nature. Our Kindergarten and PK2 classes will be heading to the farm at the end of the month for some fall fun! We will be having our Halloween festivities on Tuesday the 31st. We will celebrate with classroom parties and school wide trick or treating.

October is Fire Safety month, we will be teaching the children about fire safety and the important role that firefighters play in our community. We will have a visit from the Lower Providence Fire Department on Monday, October 9th.

If there are any questions or concerns please know that my door is always open.

We have had many parent requests to start a music class and we are in the process of making that happen. We are currently working out the details with Mr. Mike from Rock and Roll Afterschool to start a preschool class here in the next few weeks. Mr. Mike has been doing Music for our Kindergarten class since last year and he is absolutely wonderful! We are hopeful that we will be getting started some time this month.

We seem to be having a bit of confusion with the sign in/out procedures so I thought a quick refresher might be in order.

You need to sign your children in/out while they are with you. That means you sign them in, in the morning as you walk in the door before you take them to their room.

You sign them out in the afternoon after you have picked them up, on your way out of the door.

It is very important to follow this procedure for safety reasons.

Extra Clothes -Please check your child's extra clothes to be sure that they are seasonally appropriate and still fit.

Jackets - Please be sure to send in a jacket even if the forecast is for a warm afternoon. It can be quite chilly when we go out in the morning.

Parking Lot - Please obey the 15 MPH speed limit in the parking lot. Child can dash out from between the cars and away from their parents. Also cars must follow the direction of the arrows when driving through the lot. Cars may NOT be left running in the parking lot.

Folders - Please be sure to check your folders daily. In most rooms they are located behind the doors or near the cubbies.
