HOLIDAY PARTIES

KindiePrep will be celebrating the holidays today and tomorrow. Parties are from 1:45 - 2:45pm.

PLAYGROUND REMINDERS

We know the children love to play on the playground after they leave school whether they get picked up at 3:00pm or later during aftercare and that is great. However, PLEASE make sure you are following these rules...

• If the students are playing on the playground after the school day (3:00pm) please remember you need to be back to your cars before carpool starts. We can't have cars parked in front of the school after 3:15pm
• At any point in time, when your children are on the playground please do not leave them unattended. An adult should be with them while on the playground.

LOST & FOUND

Every classroom has a lost & found bucket in the cubby area. Please check those bins before you leave for break to see if any of the missing items belong to your family. We will be donating the items that are not claimed over the holiday break.

SCHOOL CLOSURES & DELAYS

KindiePrep runs on the same schedule as the K-8 part of American Academy. Therefore, if they call a delay or closure we will be closed as well. If they call a delay, KindiePrep will start 25 minutes after the K-8 side of the school, and we WILL NOT have before-care.

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 - January . 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
