It’s hard to believe that the school year is almost over. It has been a joy to watch your children grow spiritually, mentally, physically, socially, and emotionally this year. We are happy for them but also a little sad to see them grow up so quickly.

JOINING HANDS MISSION – What a wonderful mission this was! Thank you all so much for your contributions and support for Joining Hands. We were overjoyed with all of your generous donations. This organization was always thrilled to receive our deliveries. Way to Go Robin’s Nest!

GRADUATION – We want to create an enjoyable and memorable graduation experience for all of our graduates this year. In order to achieve that goal we have photographers that will capture the moment when your child receives his/her diploma. We will also make the video of the entire program available to you at the best possible price. For your part we are asking that you simply sit back and enjoy the program. You may still take a photo from your seat. The children and the teachers have worked hard and we want to honor their efforts by not interrupting the program with unnecessary distractions. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

VPK LAST DAY ATTENDANCE – VPK students are required to attend the last day of school on May 27th. Any VPK child not present on the last day will be listed with the Early Learning Coalition as not having completed the VPK program. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

NO LUNCH BUNCH/EARLY DISMISSAL – Please note that there will be no Lunch Bunch on May 17th and on May 27th (last day of school) there will be no Lunch Bunch or Extended Day. All students will be dismissed at 12:15 p.m. the last day of school.

TUITION 2016-17 REMINDER – If your child is enrolled for the 2016-17 school year, your first installment payment will be drawn on August 1, 2016. Parents of VPK students, we thank you for your voluntary donation.

VPK CHILD ELIGIBILITY CERTIFICATE – Don’t forget to get your VPK Eligibility Certificate to us no later than July 1st. Your child can not be enrolled into a class without their certificate unless you are planning to private pay.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE BEAUTIFUL AND DELICIOUS TREATS ON TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK.   IT WAS AMAZING!

ADOPT-A-CLASS  – As the year begins to wind down, we would like to give a great big thank you to all who so generously donated to our Adopt-A-Class program this school year. Your donations were greatly received and used directly by your child’s teachers to purchase much needed materials and supplies for their classrooms. Here is a short list of some of the wonderful ways your generous donations were used to enhance your child’s classroom experience:

Math and language games, manipulatives, writing center, materials for writing centers, sensory tables, sensory items, doll house and furniture, sorting kits, sand and water activities, cash register, alphabet mystery box, krazy cut scissors, prayer boxes and prayer bears

FRIENDLY REMINDERS…

  • Final weeks of school are extremely busy; it’s so important that students get to school on time at 9:00 am.
  • Afternoon pick up times remain the same – classroom dismissal 12:15, lunch bunch 1:55 and extended care 3:00. Please be on time for pick up.
