SPRING SING
Our Spring Sing is this Friday at 10:30 am in the parking lot. We will put our bike rope and we have lines drawn so you can determine where to sit. I have also included a box where Ms. Darcy will be so you can get situated around her. Dismissal of children will look a little different as it can be difficult with so many people. I will explain at the sing on the procedure. We will have popsicles after the sing on the playground.
Reminder: NO LUNCH IN ON FRIDAY
NO NUTS PLEASE
Just a reminder to not send nut products to school for snacks or in lunches. We have children with tree nut and peanut allergies in every class, mornings, and afternoons. Some children may have an allergic reaction just by coming in to contact with nuts or their residue. Thanks for your help in keeping everyone safe.
PARKING
Please DO NOT park in the 4 spaces at the end of the building as you come up the hill. Those are for church staff only during the week. Those are NOT for Nursery School parents.
Also, please SLOW DOWN through our parking lot. Some children break away from their parents and it would be terrible if someone got hit. Thank you!
ANNUAL PANCAKE BREAKFAST
Thank you to everyone that sold tickets, volunteered and came to eat at our annual pancake breakfast. It was a huge success!! We raised enough money to support 3 families next year for our tuition assistance program.
A huge thank you to Alex Gass at Fire & Salt for donating the space, time and food. If you get a change to visit Fire & Salt, please do. The food is delicious!!
TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK!
Teacher appreciation is next week. If parents could donate to the teacher’s Amazon wish lists that would be wonderful. The QR code for the wish lists is on every classroom door. There will also be appreciation boards for the teachers. Be on the lookout for more information.
END-OF-THE-YEAR BROWN-BAG PICNICS
The last day of school for the Tuesday-Thursday classes, will be Tuesday, May 27th and the last day for the Monday-Wednesday-Friday classes will be Wednesday, May 28th. Those who attend school five days will have two picnics. There will be no afternoon classes on May 27th and May 28th. Dismissal is at noon, please sign your child out as soon as you arrive for the picnic because the children will be in your care. If you are not able to attend, please let your child’s teacher know, and send them a snack so that your child does not feel left out. Parents should bring lunches for their child(ren) and themselves for a “picnic on the grounds.” Grandparents, babysitters, and siblings are welcome to come. It is recommended to bring a blanket or chairs to sit on. No nuts or nut butters for the picnic as we have children with allergies.
REGISTRATION FOR FALL
Registration is ongoing and classes are full. If you have already registered your child, and your situation has since changed, please let Shona know as soon as possible. We do not want to put children on a waiting list or turn anyone away unnecessarily. If you have not paid the registration fee, please do so as soon as possible to reserve your child’s space.
MAY LETTER ABOUT TUITION FOR FALL
In May, we will give everyone registered for fall classes an information letter about tuition for the 2025-2026 school year. The invoice for the August tuition will go out through Brightwheel on July 1st. The August tuition is due by July 15th to hold your child’s spot.
We have distributed a flyer with all of the Oak Ridge Schools Kindergarten information.
DONATIONS NEEDED!!
If you are like a lot of people that when spring hits, it is time to clean out the extra stuff you don’t need anymore. We can always use old spoons, pots and pans and small hard plastic cups/plates for our kitchen outside. Nothing that is brand new please as it will be used for rocks and may accidentally get left out in the elements. We also can always use old bath towels, paper towels, napkins, dixie cups (3 oz size), copy paper, paper plates and popsicles.
