Weekly Update December 1, 2023

Our calendar for 2024 is finalized. Both calendars are shared below; please be sure you select the correct location, as they differ slightly in days we are closed in January and February. We will send home paper copies as well, and you can ask for an additional copy anytime.

With winter weather upon us, this is a friendly reminder that we DO NOT follow the local schools' schedule in terms of weather related closing. There are simply too many districts and too many families coming from different locations to base our decision on the local schools.

Instead, we will choose to close when driving conditions near the center are dangerous. We will send a closing announcement via Remind, and post it on our Facebook page. Please be sure that you are signed up for our Remind classroom so that you don't miss these announcements.

We aim to make the decision to close by 6:00 AM and send out the announcement at that time. We understand that families need time to make other arrangements, and we try to remain open as much as possible throughout the winter.

If our center is open, and you feel that it is unsafe for you to drive your child in, please use our Therapy Schedule Update Form, or call the center and leave a message at 810-344-8082 ext. 1 for Brighton, ext. 2 for Burton to update as soon as you are able.

We will continue to play outside in both locations throughout the winter months. Playing outside is important for our children to develop a variety of skills, including tolerance of different clothing, putting on and taking off their own winter gear, and playing with friends.

We will play outside twice daily for about 15 minutes as long as the temperature feels like 20 degrees or warmer. Please send your child's snow gear, including boots, snow pants, hats, and mittens or gloves daily when it's cold outside. The easiest way to do this is place them in a reusable grocery bag or similar and send it in each day. We will send it back home each day so that you have the gear available each evening.

If you have any questions or concerns about playing outside, please ask your BCBA.

We'll just keep this link right here, for your convenience. For any absences scheduled in advance, please use this form to report the dates. You may take an entire day or half day, depending on your needs.
