February 2012 Parent Post

Tax Information

A summary of your payments made during the 2011 calendar year for tax purposes is available in the office.  Please stop in if you would like to pick it up or email me and I will attach it to your child's locker.

Socks, Pants, Mittens...Outdoor Play

Last month we put out a plea concerning mittens.  The plea still remains!  Please send warm (water-proof, if possible) mittens with your child for outdoor play.  The small, stretchy mittens/gloves are not warm enough and the children find that they have cold hands after only a few minutes outside.  An extra set of mittens and socks, and an extra pair of pants is also greatly appreciated.  It's a very difficult judgment-call to make concerning outdoor play on those warmer, wet days.  If we go out twice, we are entirely soaked.  If we go out once, we're not as wet, but we're only outside once, which isn't the best either.  We're comprising on those days...once outside and get a little wet.  Thanks for understanding that we do need to go out and that we are going to get a little wet. 

Parent Teacher Conferences

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held during the week of March 5th.  Sign-up sheets for conference times will soon be available on the counter in the front entry.  Please consider scheduling a time to meet with your child's teacher as this is one of the rare times we get a chance to meet with no interruptions!

Lost and Found

We have the lost and found items spread out on the front counter.  Please look through the items and take what belongs to you. 

Blankets

At the end of the week we place the children's blankets in their lockers or on the top of their locker area.  Please take the blanket home, launder it, and return it to school at the beginning of the week.  It's always nice to have a freshly laundered blanket - thanks!

Spring Break

The week of March 12-15 is Spring Break for UW-L.  We will be open during the week of spring break and will have a special sign-up for it.  The sign-up sheets for spring break will be available on February 14th - you'll find them out on the front counter.  If you need care during spring break, sign-up for it on the special sign-up sheets.  You will be charged for what you sign up for and for what you use.  If you do not need care during spring break, simply do not sign up for it and you will not be charged any fees for the week.
