Happy November Merryhill Families.

We are entering a very busy time of year, with a lot of fun activities and ways for you to get involved.  Please note the following dates on your calendar:

• Friday, November 2nd=Fun Friday–Cafe Rio

• Friday, November 9th=Parent Teacher Conferences.  There will be no school today, so that we can meet with all parents to discuss your child’s progress.  Because our time together is limited, we ask that you attend without your child.  Please check with your child’s teacher to sign up for a time that is convenient for you.
• Saturday, November 10th=Open House.  If you know a family that would like to join our Merryhill Community, please invite them to come in between 10:00am-1:00pm for a tour.

• Monday, November 26th=Today begins our annual Toy Drive.  If you would like to make a donation, please bring in a new, unwrapped toy, and place it in the box in the lobby.  Donations will be collected through Friday, December 7th.

All of these dates can also be found on our school website’s calendar. (www.henderson.merryhillschool.com)

Please confirm with your child’s teacher that we have a complete, weather appropriate change of clothes on campus for your child.

Our preschool classes have two outside times daily.  Please make sure that your child comes to school with a jacket/coat that is appropriate for the changing weather.  Children will not be permitted to remain indoors without a letter from a physician.

If at any time your child requires medication to be administered at school, we will need the medication in the original packaging, with the prescription label attached, as well as a note from the physician detailing the dosage and administration details.  All medications will be left with a member of the administration team.

Welcome to our team, Mrs. James and Ms. Butera.  We are excited to welcome these two ladies.
