Playground

It seems like every year we have a large construction project. Well this year is no different. We will be replacing the playstructures and groundcover on the playground . We hope to have this project done by the end of June. I will be looking for volunteers to take down the current structures, trucks to haul it away, adding sand to sand boxes and I'm sure their is something I haven't thought of too! What a great way to complete your volunteer hours. Thank you James Traynor for guiding me to the right people to complete this process.


Sunscreen

Summer is right around the corner so its time to send the snow suits home and replace them with a new bottle of sunscreen.

  • We recommend that you bring in a new bottle of sunscreen. Old bottles do not protect as well.
  • Sunscreen will be applied twice daily. In the morning before going outside and again after nap before heading outside.
  • Sunscreen is considered a medication so we will need you to sign a sunscreen medication slip prior to using sunscreen. These slips are available in the classroom. Please ask a teacher.
  • Regulations state that sunscreen must be labeled with child's first and last name and must be used for only that child.
  • Licensing prohibits us from using any aerosol sunscreen products on children.
  • We also recommend that your child has a hat at school at all times.
