The school year has come to an end and we are well under way with our Summer Camp Season! Camp is bigger and Better than ever before and we are all having so much fun!

Our exciting camp news is that we have secured a lease for the land that is directly behind our current playground, beyond the trees. We now have an additional 2 acres of open field space for our campers to run and play games. We are very excited about this additional space. We will have access to this space for the remainder of the summer. This will give us time to find a long term solution to our mud issue on the big playground. The additional space will only be used by the campers. Pre-K and Younger will continue to play on the regular playground areas. We are looking forward to a great summer!

The Preschools have scheduled splash days at least twice a week, but we also have impromptu splash days when it is particularly hot. We ask that parents be sure to have splash item here at school every day in case we decide to have an unscheduled splash time. Also, please be sure that your child's towel for splash time is of an appropriate size for them to carry.

I wanted to keep everyone up to date on a few staffing changes. Miss Cassie will no longer be with us. She has decided to go back to school and has taken apart time job that will fit her new school schedule. We will miss her.

Miss Rachel will be filling in in PK for the summer as we have quite a few Toddlers off for the summer. Miss Rachel will continue to open in the Toddler Room and will return to there full time at the end of the summer.

Mr. Harvey will continue to be in PK, but will also be helping to fill in as a camp counselor. This will typically be on swimming or trip days as needed.

Miss Jessica (Beginners) will be here all summer but due to a small group of Beginners for the summer, she will be filling in to cover various places over the summer to cover vacations etc. She will return to FT in the Beginners in the Fall.

As our school continues to grow , we continue to expand and adjust. Due to the large number of children in PK, PK-2 and Kindergarten Enrichment next year we have decided to split the kids up a bit differently than we have in the past. In the Fall we will now have our PK class, A PK/PK-2 combo class and a separate Kindergarten Enrichment class. If your child will be effected by any of these changes you will be notified directly. If there are any questions please feel free to reach out.

Extra Clothes - Many children do not have spare clothes and our supply of school spare clothes is extremely low. Please be sure that your child has a complete set of spare clothes here at school.

Water Bottles - Be sure to take them home daily to be washed. Also, be aware that we do refill them regularly throughout the day so if your child water comes home full we have probably filled it here at school. Water Bottles may only contain plain water.

Sunscreen - Be sure to send your children to school/camp with sunscreen already applied. We will reapply for the afternoon.

Vacation Credit - Vacation Credits run from July 1st to June 30th. You must have been enrolled for 6 months to earn a vacation credit. If you would lie to use your vacation credit you must notify us in writing prior to the vacation week.

Tuition - is due on Friday of the prior week. We will also accept it on Monday morning of the current week. Please be sure to drop your checks off in a timely fashion.

All camp schedules were to be finalized by June 1st. If you need to make changes to your camp schedule it MUST go through the office. There are some weeks of camp that are completely full and we cannot add any more campers. In addition, ratios in the pool and on field trips are very tight and we can not always accommodate last minute changes. Please take a look at your schedules and confirm that they are correct.
