Wednesday, October 10, 2012

Just came in from our lunch hour recess.  There were many cold kids outside.  Many were not prepared for the fall weather.  Please make sure your child is dressed and ready for the changing fall weather.  We go outside, everyday!!  Please pack mitts, hats, winter coats etc...  It is better to be warm/hot and unzip your jacket, then just have a sweater or fall jacket and be cold and miserable.  We want all the kids to enjoy their time outside!

Thanks
Dina

Cold Weather:
As the weather turns colder, we ask that you continue to send your child with the proper clothing and footwear each day as we go outside everyday for recess.
 
Extra Clothing:
Please send an extra full set of clothing to be left in their backpack. Have them in a plastic bag with your child’s name on it. Thank you.
 
Picture Day:
Willow Park School’s Picture Day is on Thursday, October 11th.  Unfortunately, this is only a one day event.  Therefore, the Monday/Wednesday class will not be in school.  For this reason, we invite any parent with a child in the Monday/Wednesday class to bring their child to school on Thursday, October 11th for 8:45am and wait in the lobby to have their child’s picture taken.  If you are unable to make it to the school on October 11th, there will be another Picture Day on Wednesday, November 14th.
 
Halloween Parties:
Our Halloween party will be in the afternoon of Wednesday, October 31.  Unless your child’s costume requires extra make-up or hair coloring, which you can put on before they come to school, we ask that you just send their costume with them and we will help them dress at 12:45 p.m. We will have a costume parade and then continue with the party festivities for the rest of the afternoon. If you do not celebrate Halloween, your child can wear their pajamas for a “Pajama Day.” Extra parent volunteers to help dress and assist with the Halloween games/centers for the party would be greatly appreciated. If you are able to help, please let your child’s teacher know.
 
Bus Safety Presentation:
On Wednesday, October 10th, 2012 there will be a short bus safety presentation for the Monday/Wednesday Kindergarten class.
 
Monday/Wednesday School Year Calendar
 
Here is the tentative Kindergarten School Calendar.  However, some days may still change due to school presentations where we will need all three Kindergarten classes together.  Please read the monthly newsletters to confirm the next months school days.
