Friendly Reminders

  • Please pack your child a snack and a water bottle daily. We have one snack break a day, and with this heat, the kiddos are always thirsty after PE and recess, so it is super helpful to have a labeled water bottle on-hand!
  • The classroom can get quite chilly, so I would also recommend packing a sweater or light jacket for your child. 

Thanks in advance for your cooperation!
