As the end of the year approaches, we have a few important reminders to help ensure a smooth transition into our winter break and a successful return in January. As always, thank you for your incredible partnership!
Holiday Schedule & School Closure
Please take note of our final day of school and reopening date:
- Last Day of School: Friday, December 19
- Holiday Break: School will be closed beginning Monday, December 22
- Classes Resume: Monday, January 5
We wish you and your family a safe, joyful, and peaceful holiday season!
Attendance & Sick Policy Reminders
Consistency in attendance is key to your child’s success. Please help us maintain a productive learning environment by observing the following:
Timely Arrival for Class
We kindly ask that all children arrive on time before class instruction begins. When a child arrives late, they often miss out on important initial lessons, community greetings, and the introduction to the day’s curriculum. A consistent, timely start helps your child settle in, feel connected, and get the most out of their morning.
Late Arrival Notification
If you anticipate being late for drop-off or pick-up, please notify us immediately! Send a quick message through LineLeader or call the office so we can update our attendance and staffing accordingly.
Sick Policy
To maintain a healthy environment for all children and staff, please ensure your child is fever-free, vomit-free, and diarrhea-free for 24 hours without the aid of medication before returning to school. If your child exhibits any contagious symptoms, please keep them home.
Classroom Holiday Events via LineLeader
The holidays are here! Please check your LineLeader messages. We recently forwarded messages from the Blue Room and Yellow Room parents. Your child’s teacher may have also sent messages regarding end of year events in their classroom. Don’t miss out on the details!
