Attending Christmas Parties
You are also welcome to sign your child out from the classroom and take them after the party. Please sign your child out prior to the end of the party in order to limit the amount of confusion as the teachers prepare their class for dismissal. Thank you for your help with this process.
Air Quality in Classrooms
Over the Thanksgiving Break we had a company come out to check the efficiency of our HVAC units and the air quality in the classrooms. We are happy to say that the air quality in the rooms is good, but it was noted that the units were not performing at peak efficiency. The humidity levels in two wings was a bit higher than normal. We are bringing in some air scrubbers to help correct that until we can have a company come in to do more extensive work on the units and the ducts. So, in case your child mentions the machines in the building, they are simply removing the extra humidity and are not a sign of a bigger problem.
