Thank You!
for supporting our local shelter for women and children. The
Bethesda House collection campaign was very successful due to the generosity
of our wonderful families. In the past few weeks our staff members have
received many beautiful cards, warm wishes, treats and lovely gifts. We are
touched by your kindness!
Winter Footwear...
Parents, caregivers and children should remove wet footwear downstairs. A
wet stairway is not safe for anyone…not to mention that unpleasant wet-sock
feeling for children and parents who have taken off their boots and have
then stepped in a puddle! Please allow a few minutes in your schedule to
take off your boots and use the stairs carefully. We appreciate your
cooperation. If you have concerns, please contact Holly and we will do our
best to help resolve any problems
FYI...
There are Special Needs Resourcing (SNR) agencies available to support
licensed child care programs in Durham. These agencies are funded through
the Regional Municipality of Durham and Ministry of Education to assist in
providing inclusive environments for children and families. The school has
the opportunity to work in partnership with local agencies, using the “No
Wrong Door” binder provided by the Region, as a guide. Contact Holly if you
would like more information.
The school will continue
to share relevant information regarding which doors are best to enter/exit
on days when there is snow on the roof. We will support all families who may
be experiencing difficulty getting in the building. The church is working
towards resolving the problem.
Our Inclement Weather Policy is
available for review in the Parent Handbook. Should there be need to cancel
nursery school due to poor weather conditions, you will receive notification
by phone or email. Our outgoing telephone voicemail will reflect any
cancellation. Please note that rebates are not given for unplanned school
closures.
The new year is filled with potential for fun and
learning! We will settle into our routines again with the rush and activity
of Christmas now past. Your beautiful children are growing and changing.
They certainly have come a long way since September.
