 A PEEK AT OUR DECEMBER WEEKS

 Please make sure your child uses the washroom before class begins.

There is NO parking in the parking lot even during the winter!  You must park on the street and walk to school, even Duty Parents must follow this policy.  Please make sure whom ever is dropping/picking up your children are aware of this policy. You risk being fined by violating this policy.  It was put in place for the safety of all children in the area.

Duty Parents must be 15 minutes early.  There are fines for those who do not arrive on time.

Cups & Plates - Please check your child's cup and plate to ensure their name is still readable. A lot of the names have worn off, making it a challenge for the duty parents to find where they belong.

Duty Parent Days:

If there are any days you cannot be a duty parent for the month of FEBRUARY, please fill out a parent duty request forms by: Friday, December 20th. For the month of MARCH please fill out requests by January 18th 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 11-17 backpacks to find their winter gear.)

*** If it is colder then -15c we will not be going outside. *** 

 

We will start Tobogganing days in January. We have a lot of Christmas festivities going on. 

 

CHRISTMAS CONCERT & SILENT AUCTION

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

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

Doors open @6:00pm (not earlier) and the concert starts @6:30.  Come early so you can buy your auction tickets and get them in the items you would like to win! 

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 (please bring cash) and place them in the items for auction that you find most appealing.  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 on the night of the auction.**

Christmas Concert Help

Extra volunteers are needed for the night of the Christmas Concert/ Silent Auction. Ms. Serena requires 2-4 parents/older responsible individuals to help dress the children in costume 15 minutes before show (6:15pm). As well, supervise the non-performing children next to the stage.

UPDATE YOUR CHILD'S INFORMATION

Please ensure the Playschool has all necessary updated information.  We must have current phone numbers and emergency contacts for your child.  If someone else is responsible for picking up/dropping off your child and would need to be contacted in the event of class being cancelled last minute please inform Ms. Serena of their information.
