Important Dates To Remember

Winter Break School – December 23rd — December 30th


Winter Break Camp

We will be holding Winter Break Camp from December 23rd through December 30th. If you would like to bring your child for our Winter Break Camp, please complete this form Winter Camp 2021 and bring it to the office, thank you. Students will participate in community service activities, STEAM learning opportunities, holiday themed projects and virtual activities. Students may attend all or part of Winter Break Camp, please let us know by December 17th if your child will be attending, this will help us manage staffing, thank you.


Holiday Giving Project

For our Holiday Giving Project we will be supporting Toys for Tots.


Illness Policy Reminder

Our parents are vital partners in helping us to maintain a safe and healthy environment for the students in our school. The most important thing you can do to assist us in creating a healthy environment is to keep your child home if they are ill. This reduces the spread of illness and allows your child to fully recuperate. For more information please see our Parent Handbook or reach out to a member of our administrative team.


Winter Clothing Reminder

If you’ve not already done so, please check your child’s cubby to ensure they have an extra set of weather appropriate clothes. Students also need to come to school each day with a jacket and dressed warmly enough to play outside for part of the day. We want everyone to be able to participate!
