PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES
Conferences are next week. Teachers have sign-ups available either online or in front of their classroom. This is a time to talk about your children if you have questions or concerns. Please be cognizant of the allotted time for your conference.
VALENTINE'S PARTIES
Valentine parties will be held on Wednesday, February 11th for the 3-day a week students, and Thursday, February 12th for the 2-day and 5-day a week students. All parties will be from 1:45 - 2:45 pm. Child can wear Valentine's Day related tops with dress code bottoms. Please look for more communication from your child's teacher or room parent.
WARM WEATHER ATTIRE
We go outside for recess everyday as long as it feels like 28 degrees or higher. Please dress your children appropriately and bring a coat since winter finally appeared.
EXTRACARE is FULL (Most Days)
We want to let everyone know that ExtraCare is FULL for most of February! This means there will likely not be room for same day requests. ExtraCare calendars are available at the front office for the current month and the upcoming month or two. If you need extra-care in February please check to make sure we have room. Also, grab a calendar for March if you know you will need extracare.
FROM THE PTO: STOCK THE FRIDGE
The PTO does a wonderful job of spoiling the teachers. One of the things they do is accept donations of snacks for the teachers so they can keep up with children throughout the day. They have asked me to share the sign-up; therefore, if you would like to donate here is the link to sign up to bring certain items STOCK THE FRIDGE SIGN-UP - February. There will be a new sign-up for each month. If you choose to donate, please bring the items to the KindiePrep front office to drop off. Finally, please know how greatly appreciated these donations are to the teachers and staff. A kick of caffeine or a bag of Doritos can go a long way to keep the energy level up.
The PTO also plans a ton of fun events for families. Hopefully, you are receiving their newsletter, but if not you can visit their webpage. PTO Motsenbocker
REMINDERS
KINDIEPREP HOURS
KindiePrep school day hours are from 8:30am - 3:00pm. It is important for your child to be at school on time. Students arriving at school on time have the advantage of settling in, preparing their class materials, and focusing their minds on the day to come. Being late can also cause children to miss important information for the day. The doors to KindiePrep open at 8:15am giving families 15 minutes to get their student signed and settled in for the day. In the afternoon families have from 3:00pm to 3:15pm to pick up their children, unless they are signed up for extra-care. If children are not picked up by 3:15pm they will be put in extra-care and you will be charged $18.00 for their care. We will also call to inquire about your pick up plan. When picking up remember - NO PARKING IN VIP SPOTS OR ALONG THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING AFTER 3:15PM. If you are going to be in the KindiePrep building after 3:15pm you need to park in the parking lot. Thank you!
SIGNING CHILDREN IN AND OUT
You must sign your student in at drop-off and out at pick-up! This is a super important for many reasons. This is how we find out if your child does or does not need hot lunch each day. The state also requires that we maintain attendance records. Most importantly, it's for safety! We need to know who is in attendance so if something happens we know exactly who is here, where to find them and who to contact
REMEMBER – If carpool is actively moving when you arrive you must go through carpool. You cannot skip or go around carpool - EVER!
