Important Info:
1. There have been a few cases of lice in our classroom. I have talked to the children about not laying on the floor or rubbing their heads together etc....You may want to do weekly checks on your child to be sure!
2. I will be sending a form for Parent-Teacher Conferences soon. They will take place throughout the month of September. I will have morning and afternoon slots available.
3. WALKERS: I'd like your input...Would you rather pick up your child at our side door when it is raining, or at the back door? I have no preference other than to help you stay dry.
