A Note from Our Principal 

As October begins, I’d like to take a moment to appreciate the season’s transition and the exciting opportunities it brings for our students. Autumn provides an ideal setting for learning, with so many changes occurring outdoors and the chance to incorporate new, natural elements into our artwork and learning centers. This month, we have a range of exciting events lined up such as our first picture day(s) of the school year, our trunk or treat event, parent-teacher conferences, and our school costume parade. As always, thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. We’re eager for a season of growth, discovery, and fun.

Sincerely,

Kamerine Acosta

Jumpstart’s Read for the Record 

We are excited to again participate in Jumpstart’s Read for the Record – the world’s largest shared reading experience that celebrates and supports children’s early language and social-emotional development. Students will participate in activities throughout the week of October 21 inspired by the book, Piper Chen Sings, by Phillipa Soo and Maris Pasquale Doran. It is an inspiring story celebrating self-expression, family bonds, and conquering doubts. Keep an eye out for more details in Links to Home!

Family Referral Bonus & Open House 

Do you know a colleague who has recently had a baby, a friend in need of care who just relocated to the area, or a family member who is seeking a new preschool for their child? Invite them to our Open House Week events on October 22, 24, and 26. When you refer a friend and they enroll, you’re eligible for a free week of tuition. Ask us for details!

Fall Cubby Refresh 

The days will soon be getting crisp! Please supply an extra set of weather-appropriate clothes for your child and a jacket for chilly days.

Alma 

Do you have a different email address or phone number? Need to add or remove an emergency contact? You can do this at any time in Alma. You can also make payments and access statements through the Alma parent portal. If you do not have a 4-digit PIN to check your child in/out on the school iPad, you can set this up in your Alma account under your profile. We ask that if you do not have a code, to please set one up or let us know so we can set it up for you on our end. This will help us with safety and documentation. If you need help logging in or accessing the system, please let us know.

Thanks for your Participation

We appreciate your participation during our September events. We thank the grandparents/parents that came to read during Grandparents/Parents Reading Week and those that came to visit us on Career Day. We look forward to another month filled with events and memories!
