Many of our classroom materials consist of small attractive objects that are irresistible to children. If you find any "mysterious objects" in your child's possession, please return them to school. Thank you.

Aftercare

Please remember to pack an extra snack for aftercare.  It may help to label it so your child knows to save it for aftercare.

Classroom Observation: 

Please sign up to observe your child's classroom.  There is a sign-up sheet next to the check-out computer. Observing gives you an opportunity to sit back and watch what is happening during your child's day.  It is an important part of understanding what we do here at school.  If you feel that your child would not be successful with you in their classroom, you are welcome and encouraged to sign up to observe a different room.  All of the classes operate in a very similar fashion.  Please make arrangements for child care for any younger siblings during your observation time.  When you arrive, go to the office.  Marci or Nicole will be able to give you an observation packet that details how to observe and outlines things to look for.      

Co-Op

Lost and Found

Please be sure to check the lost and found.  The bins are located in the middle of the red and yellow room cubbies with a pink tag labeled lost and found.  We will be placing them outside on the picnic table on nice days and in the entry way by the computer on the other days.  Any items left in lost and found by May 30th will be donated.

Box Tops for Education:

We are collecting Box tops, you will find a drop box on the front desk by the computer.

Clothes Bins

Please check your child's clothes bins.  With the change in season and their growing bodies many bins are not adequately stocked. 

 

Recycle Your Ink Cartridges

Staple will now recycle all brands of ink cartridges.  The school will receive $3/cartridge as a credit to purchase items from Staples. Drop boxes are located in the office building and school entry way by the front windows.

 

Also if you do not have/use your staples rewards card use ours.  Just give them the school cell # 860-227-2588 and we will receive 10% of your total order in rewards money to use on future purchased.

 

Lunch Reminder

Please remember to pack a nutritious lunch for your child. The nutrients that they receive helps fuel their day.  Their lunch should be well balanced with protein, fruit/vegetables, and whole grains.  We do not allow high sugar foods at school.  These items will be returned in their lunch boxes. 

*** Tube Yogurts:  Our goal is to help children be successful. 

We find that young children have a difficult time successfully eating tube yogurts, often getting more on themselves and less in their mouths.  Because of this, we ask that you not bring them to school.  As they develop better fine motor control and can be more successful children are welcome to bring them for lunch in the Elementary class.

            

The children have had a great time learning about plants. The kindergarteners, along with the Elementary class, planted cabbages out in the field next to the school. We discussed the basic things plants need- soil, water, sun- and the children have been taking care of the cabbages outside during their recess time!!! They also learned about the life cycle of a plant, and most recently, we have been studying seeds; where they come from, differences between fruits, vegetables, and other plants and how similar or different seeds look. The children even had the chance to see some seeds up close in a microscope! The kindergarten class loved the microscope. They were excited and amazed when they noticed how different the seeds looked in a "new light." We are currently discussing the life-cycle of the butterfly, plants, and of course, the Earth!
