On these days we offer care from 6:30 AM until 6:00 PM and sometimes include a field trip! You can register for these days in Eleyo at any time, remembering to pay attention to the deadlines for registration. The deadlines are also the last date you can withdraw your child from the NSD without being charged. Once a registration deadline has passed, you are not guaranteed childcare and may be put on a wait list.
A Few Kind Reminders!

Wear/Bring Tennis Shoes Daily
Please have your child bring or wear tennis shoes each day. We offer the gym as a space choice everyday.

Weather Appropriate Attire
The children go outside nearly everyday and early morning/late afternoons can be chilly! Please send along appropriate outerwear. As winter and snow approach we will require all the gear - snow pants, boots, hats, mittens / gloves, etc. Please know that after school ALL kids go outside for about 15 minutes before snack. If your child does not have snow pants and boots they will be asked to stay on the sidewalk and won't be allowed to play in the snow. We encourage you to LABEL your child(ren)s gear - we will have a black sharpie at the sign in / out area :)

* Please r emind your child(ren) that they are responsible for their own toys, and no trading please!

SERVICE LEARNING AT ONEKA!
During this time of year, when the weather starts getting cold and dreary, we would like to give the gift of warmth and kindness to those in need. A White Bear Lake core value is to serve others, and we would like our students to help others and provide service by making blankets. This service learning activity will be done with several of the classrooms here at Oneka. The blankets will be donated to The Closet, a local organization that helps families in the district provide students with clothing, outerwear and other essentials. 

If you would like to and are able, we need donations of fleece. Each blanket requires 4 yards total (2 yards of a solid and 2 yards of a print). Please wash fleece prior to donation if possible. Please bring in donations to extended day by December 6.  
We will be working on the blankets the week of December 9th . Please contact me directly if you have any questions at margaret.anderson@isd624.org .
