PARENT NEWS UPDATE

As the holidays are upon us, it is a good time to make sure that your child’s emergency cards (blue) are up-to-date. Please make sure that we have your current home, cell and work telephone numbers. All caregivers must be listed on the card. No child will be released from school unless the person picking them up is listed on the emergency card. Thank you for your cooperation. The children’s safety is our TOP PRIORITY.
 

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

School success depends upon good attendance. That means being in school each day, and getting there on time. Children who arrive late disrupt the class and take longer to adjust to the classroom routines . If your child is absent three or more days, a doctor’s note is required upon their return to school.

IMPORTANT REMINDER

If your child is going to be absent from school, please call the main office at 718-263-9770, before 9:00 am.

Please make note that children may only ride the bus that they are assigned to. If your child has a play date with a child who rides a different bus., we cannot put your child on a different bus. Please make arrangements accordingly.

 I want to take this opportunity to wish each of you a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday that you will hopefully share with all your loved ones.
I wish each of you many, many more Thanksgiving holidays ahead filled with health and happiness always. 

Best wishes, Ellen Maurer
