Letter from the Rector

Dear Parish Day School Families,

I am happy to invite you to PDS Sunday at Redeemer, November 24 at 10:00 a.m. Each year we celebrate the relationship between the Day School and the Parish, giving thanks for all the good work that goes on every week all over our campus. From the playground to the music room, from science class to chapel, from Spanish to art, every day at PDS invites learning and fun. Please join us this year as we say “Thank you” for our teachers, your children, and more.

We have invited a story-teller to gather with the pre-school through elementary aged children during the service. Our youth and children’s choirs will be singing,

Office Notes & Upcoming Events

Re-enrollment forms:

All re-enrollment forms for current students are due by December 2. While this is not a formal commitment to our program, it will ensure we reserve a space for your child. Contracts for the 2019-2020 school year will be mailed in early January. If you have any questions about the re-enrollment process, please contact Katie or Mary.

Admissions:

We are accepting applications for new students. If you know of families interested in the Day School, please have them contact the office @ 410-435-9510 or kpoe@redeemerbaltimore.org to set up a time to visit. We appreciate all you do to promote Redeemer Parish Day School!

Security:

At Redeemer we have a very thorough emergency disaster and preparedness plan, and we regularly practice safety drills with our students. Our existing safeguards are enhanced by our shared commitment to one another as a community. Please let Mary or any of the teachers know if you ever see anything out of the ordinary while on campus. Please also be reminded not to let visitors into the school. Anyone visiting the campus should be directed to the main doors, where they will be buzzed into the school to sign our visitor sign-in sheet. We appreciate your cooperation and commitment to ensuring a safe school environment. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mary.

Carpool Reminder:

If you are waiting to drop off in the outside/carpool lane#2, please STOP at the stop sign. You may proceed forward when there are fewer than 2 cars waiting at door #2. Cars from the inside/carpool lane #1 often need to pull forward to drop off another child. If there are more than two cars waiting at door#2, it can clog the entire carpool.

What's happening in the classrooms?

Mrs. Wyatt & Mrs. Zuidema's 2s

The twos kicked off the holiday season by following the rest of the school in the Halloween parade, and they were fantastic! We started the month of November with a visit from Quiver Farms with a dozen duck eggs. Within a week, we had lots of little ducklings to entertain us ....

Program Highlights:

A lot has been going on this past month within the walls of Redeemer! We disguised ourselves for Halloween, sang our hearts out, and nibbled on lots of yummy treats. The PDS students played Mother Duck for a week and were excited by the hatching of nine baby ducklings. We loved watching them hatch, become fluffy and use their webbed feet to travel and swim! Our Kindergarten and Pre-first celebrated Veteran's Day with parent and veteran, Lauren Zohorsky. She did an outstanding job teaching our young learners about the important role that veteran's play in working to keep our country peaceful and free.
