FALL PICTURES
We have taken everyone’s pictures and will be sending out links for them in the next few weeks. We are also working on a price list and will get that out as well.
WE HAVE NUT AND EGG ALLERGIES THIS YEAR
We are still a nut free facility due to nut allergies (tree nuts and peanuts), so no nuts or nut butters. This year, we have an egg allergy, so egg as an ingredient is fine but no eggs (such as boiled or scrambled) or egg salad. This applied to your child’s lunch box as well. Thanks
PARENT VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
We love having our parents and families involved in the classroom. Please check with your child’s teacher for any volunteer opportunities in their class such as reading stories, doing holiday art, or sharing a special talent.
PARKING LOT SAFETY
PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY in the parking lot. Because we share a parking lot with Alexander Guest House and those residents like to get out and walk, please SLOW DOWN when you enter our parking lot. Nothing is more important than the safety of those residents as well as the children. Even if you are running late, slowing down as you approach the parking lot is essential. Please hold your child’s hand as you are walking to and from your car.
WEATHER CHANGES
With the time changing and colder weather approaching, please double check your child’s cubby for cold weather appropriate extra clothing. Please label all hats, coats, mittens, extra clothes, backpacks and lunch boxes (and tupperware/utensils etc within them) to ensure that your child receives their items. Thank you!
NURSERY SCHOOL APPRECIATION SUNDAY
Sunday, November 15th will be Nursery School Appreciation Sunday at the church. All families are invited to attend the service and participate in the bake sale afterwards. Here is the link for the sign-up sheet to bring some baked goodies for us to sell if you would like to sign up to bring something. There are also paper sign-ups located by the sign in/out tablets. All proceeds from the bake sale go to our tuition assistance fund. Thank you for supporting the Nursery School!

CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES
This year, we will not be having a Christmas Sing. I know this has been a long-standing tradition, but it has become harder for the children, and it really is not developmentally appropriate to have them perform. In the place of the sing, we have decided to have a craft day on December 4th and invite parents and/or grandparents to join in the fun. We will have cookies available and will have a visit from Santa. There will be NO LUNCH In on that day. We will send out more information in the coming weeks.
Parents may discuss any concerns with the director. At any time during the year, parents and teachers may request a conference.
Thank you,
Shona Ellis, Director
