If there are concerns about your child that you’d like to share with me today, ie; bathroom issues, separation anxiety, allergies or medication, please see me before you leave. Please take your child to the bathroom before you leave today and show them how to use the stalls and sinks.

Lots of families ask how they can help to support the classroom with supplies. If you would like to send some supplies in, please take one or two “lending hands”. Return the hands when you send in the supplies. Thank you for coming!
