February News

 

Valentine's Day Parties

Our school will celebrate Valentine's day on February 11 for A day students and February 12 for B day students. This will be similar to our Halloween festivities in that the classroom teachers will infuse Valentine's Day activities into the curriculum. We WILL NOT be trading Valentine Day cards or passing out other candy and trinkets.

Incoming Kindergarten Registration

February 20th we will be holding Kindergarten registration. It will look very different this year! It will be held at the home school your child is attending and is focusing solely on registration. Packets of information will be shared for enrichment activities that are typically found at the fair. Please call the front office to reserve your time slot (630) 365-8170. Time slots will be assigned in 15-minute increments to ensure distance protocols and allow each family the time needed. This is not something your child needs to attend. This date is also a time that people interested in the preschool program can share their interests with us.
Please see the Kindergarten Registration Flyer and share it with other families that you may know has an incoming Kindergartener.  Thank You!
