November 1, 2014
Dear Parents,
Last month the children focused on Fall Fruits and Vegetables, Columbus Day, Halloween, Fall and Fire Prevention and Safety. The children had so much fun dressing up in their Halloween Costumes and enjoyed the party. THANK YOU to all who contributed to making our party a wonderful success!
November has arrived with a sense of anticipation of the upcoming holiday season. Colors of Autumn are all around us and the air is filled with a fresh crispness. We hope that you and your family are safe and warm. This month we will talk about Fall and Forest Animals, Five Senses, Good Health, and Thanksgiving. We will also be continuing to work on numbers, letters, shapes, colors, days of the week, months, and weather. 
Our annual Thanksgiving party will be held Wednesday, November 26th. A sign-up sheet is hung up for anyone that would like to donate a goodie for the party.
As part of our focus on Thanksgiving, our class is collecting non-perishable food items to fill a “Giving Basket”. The basket of food will be donated to a family in need in time for Thanksgiving. Your contribution in this effort will be greatly appreciated. If you can, please send the food item in as soon as you can or no later than Friday, Nov. 21st.
The children have been making many projects for Thanksgiving. Please be sure to look around the classroom for your child’s art projects as you come in.
We now have Quick Pay – The new and easy way to pay your child’s tuition! 
This is available through an email invoice which will be sent to you monthly. The directions are on our website for online and automatic payments, please refer to the e-flier for a direct link and instructions.
Please be sure to watch or check online Channel 12 News or call the schools voicemail, and we now have an automated phone message for any days we will be closed or for important information.
Reminders:
- We are CLOSED Tuesday, Nov. 11 – Veteran’s Day and Thursday/Friday, Nov. 27, 28 – Thanksgiving.
- Our Thanksgiving Party will be Wednesday November 26th.
- Please call if your child will be absent as soon as possible. Please pick your children up on time. If your child will be absent or if you will be late picking up, please advise the staff as soon as possible – thank you.
- Tuition payments are due on the first and no later than the 10th of the month unless otherwise arranged. Full Tuition price is due each month, there is no price adjustment when your child is absent, school closings or vacations.
- Please send in only 2 healthy snacks (morning snack and afternoon snack) and lunch (sandwich preferred) and drinks.
- Breakfast is served until 9:15am. If you arrive after this time please ensure your child has been fed breakfast at home.
- Please remember to return children’s washed blankets on Monday’s as they get upset when they do not have them for nap time.
- Please remember our Health Care Policy: Children MUST be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school.
If anyone would like to donate wipes and/or tissues, we have been going through so many boxes. We appreciate it!
The cooler weather is here!! The children will be going outside twice a day. Please dress your child appropriately and label ALL items (with child’s first and last name) that are brought to the school and also bring in an extra change of clothes too. To ensure safety, please have your child wear sneakers everyday, no open shoes, as they are not safe for the playground. Please bring in wipes and a change of weather appropriate clothes; Jacket, hat, mittens/gloves, pants, shirts, socks, and underwear (if needed) for your child.
