May 13, 2022
This summer like weather definitely has put smiles on your students' (and staff members') faces this week!
We have just about a month left of school, which seems next to impossible to believe. We pack a lot into these last few weeks and as you will read below, I am grateful to include some of our end of year celebrations and traditions (like Field Day!!) into our schedule.
There are several important updates in this week's newsletter. Please take the time to read the information below. Finally, Friday May 20, 2022 is an early release day with dismissal at 12:00 PM for Kindergarten and Grade 1 students and 11:30 AM for Morning Preschool Students. There is no afternoon preschool that Friday and no lunches will be served.
Have a great weekend!
Best,
Amy McDonald, Principal
PK and K Night of the Arts!
Night of the Arts~ Kindergarten
Dear Kindergarten families,
Thank you so much for attending our McGovern “Night of the Arts” event! It was amazing to be able to welcome families into the building and share a little bit about each of our areas with you. As there was only enough time for you to rotate around to three specialists, we wanted to make sure you were able to receive the information (and some activities!) from the sessions you weren’t able to attend. Please use the links below to access the handouts from the night to help you learn a little bit more about what we do in the Allied Arts!
