Newsletter · February 2008

 

If you have it [love], you don't need to have anything else.
If you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you do have.

Welcome to February!

There’s so much information to share with you! It looks like we will have a very busy and exciting month!

Developmental assessment and OPEN HOUSE/Parent-Teacher conference

Thursday, February 21st 6:15 P.M. – 7:15 P.M.

 

Open House for all preschool children and their families is

Thursday, February 21st 6:15 P.M. – 7:15 P.M.

Children and Teachers have been working hard on developmental records. You will have an opportunity to review the progress that your child is making and ask questions.

During the Open House, children will be able to show you what they’ve done in the last five months and share their projects with you.  If you child has just started with us, it will be your opportunity to meet with the teachers and other parents. Encourage your children to show you around the class and explain what they do at school. That makes them very proud and happy.

 

Valentine’s Day Parties – Thursday, February 14th

See the list for each class for what to bring for the party

If your child is bringing in Valentines to share with friends, here is what you need to do:

©You or your child should write their name on the back of the Valentine

©If the Valentines come with envelopes, you can put them in the envelope, but leave the front of the envelope BLANK, the same is with the card – leave the front of the cards BLANK.

© Number of cards to bring:  

Yellow Room (Miss Amber) –approximately 10

Blue Room (Miss Tina)  - approximately 15

PK-2 (Miss Vichai)  - approximately 20

PK-1 (Miss Marzia)  - approximately 20                                            

It’s a good idea to have the cards here by February 12th

 

We are closed for President’s Day – February 18th, 2008

Our families’ referrals are very important to us, and nothing is more gratifying than when satisfied parents tell a friend about My Room to Grow Preschool. It rewards all of our hard work, and we want to thank you.

You can earn one-week free tuition by referring a friend to the center.

When the family that you referred enrolls their child in our program, you receive a tuition credit in the amount of their one-week tuition.

 

 

ILLNESS POLICIES

 

For the last couple of weeks we have had a lot of children missing school because of illness. We hope that the “Flu season” is over and we paid our dues to the “Flu bank”.

The school encourages safeguarding the health of children and staff members by requesting parents to follow these guidelines when deciding if a child is well enough to attend school. Your child should not be brought to the School if one or more of the following symptoms are present. When you are called to come and pick up your sick child for any of the above symptoms, they may not return for 24 hours and until all symptoms are gone.

My Room to Grow has the right to refuse entrance to any child that is returning from an illness. IF we notice that the child is not feeling well, but does not have a fever, we may still ask you to pick up your child if your child is looking or acting sick. In the last two weeks a lot of kids were coming to school in the morning after taking a heavy dose of fever reducer and other cold medicine.  These children, usually, are not themselves, sleepy or very hyper and overall miserable. We understand that it is very hard to take time off work, but we have a responsibility to protect everyone in the school.

Do not return to the center
