***Please Note******
If you would like to send a treat on your childs birthday, it must be store bought and nut free! 



  •  Please make sure your child uses the washroom before class begins to help avoid disruptions during carpet time and small bladders. We do have a break halfway through class to help remind children it's time to use the washroom. Duty parents are there to assist with buttons, zippers and hand washing.
  • There is NO parking in the parking lot even during the winter!  Please make sure whom ever is dropping/picking up your child is aware of this policy.  It was put in place for the safety of all the children in the area. If you have a concern please submit it to the board for review. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. 
  • If you notice a physical encounter between two children that Miss Serena might have missed could you please bring it to her attention, so she can address the behavior with the children. We will be working on what to do when we are feeling angry, upset or frustrated. The techniques that are being taught to deal with these feelings are: to take a deep breath, count to ten, walk away, use our words to express how we are feeling and get help from a grown up if the problem cannot be solved.
  • Lastly, Thank you for all your help in the classroom.

If there are any days you cannot be a duty parent for the month of JANUARY, please fill out a parent duty request forms by: Friday, November 15th. Duty requests for FEBRUARY are due  Friday, December 20th.  If you have questions, please contact Melissa the Duty Parent Coordinator: bcps.DutyParent.Calendar@gmail.com
**Please Note not always can requests can be granted.  The Parent Duty Coordinator will do their best to accommodate as many as possible. Please ensure you are available for at least 1-2 days per month per child enrolled.



CHILLY WEATHER CLOTHING

With the weather getting colder, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately when they come to school, if we can go outside we will.  
Please remember mittens are warmer and much easier to put on than gloves.  
Please LABEL everything that your child brings to class. 
Please encourage and help your children to get dressed by themselves at home as we will be working on this at school. At playschool, we really encourage the children to be independent when getting dressed, so this support at home is greatly appreciated.
When you drop off your children at school, please put their hats and mittens in the sleeve of their jacket.  This helps us out a lot when we are getting the children ready to go outside (this way the duty parents and teacher do no have to search through backpacks to find their winter gear.)




No Classes:
- Monday November 11 (Remembrance Day) 
- Friday December 13 (Christmas Concert) 

Christmas Break: December 23 - Jan 3








CHRISTMAS CONCERT

 & 

SILENT AUCTION

The Christmas Concert and Silent Auction will be on the following dates:

3AM, 4AM & 4PM - Friday, December 13th

We still need you help in collecting more items for our silent auction.  We are asking that every family do their best to secure one or two donation items from friends, family or businesses. If everyone is able to contribute at least one item we will have an amazing auction!  There is potential to raise A LOT of money at this event but we can't do it alone.  If you have any questions please contact  Stephanie at bcps.Fundraiser@gmail.com

Doors open @ 6:00pm and the concert starts @ 6:30pm (please have playschool children there by 6:15pm). Come early so you can buy your auction tickets and get them in the items you would like to win! Cash is only accepted.


WHAT HAPPENS ON THIS NIGHT??

A ton of fun! First, all the auction items that the Children's families were able to gather will line the room. When you come in you will have an opportunity to buy tickets (cash only and books of 10 are $10) and place them in the items for auction that you find most appealing. There are also sealed bid items where you write the amount you are willing to spend and the largest bidder wins the item. Refreshments will be available. Then the magic happens. Your children will entertain you with the music they have learned in class. Tons of photo opportunities and laughter to be had by all. It truly is a magical evening!
**All auction items will be decided by random drawing and sealed bid items awarded to largest bidder on the last night of the auction.**




We have started our library program at school, if you have any questions please let Miss Serena know!
