Newsletter: September 14
Dear Parents,
We have been having a ROCKIN’ and ROLLIN’ great start to our school year! You may have seen our new rollercoaster on our Instagram - Miss Gitti even took a turn! We also have some GREAT NEWS! Mr. Josh will be back tomorrow to sub in the Playful Panda’s classroom!
School Portrait Orders are Due TOMORROW!
Reminder that your school portrait orders help Common Ground in our fundraising efforts! Please check your ADMIN message in brightwheel for the link, our school code (SF04579509), and your child’s code! You may have noticed that we have updated your child’s photo in brightwheel with their school portrait, if they have one!
Our MAKE-UP picture day will be Monday, September 26th! This will allow any interested School Aged children to get their portraits done, as well as the opportunity for any sibling photos between children in our Early Childhood Education program to get photos with their School Aged siblings! Please sign up for make up photos here by Monday, September 19th.
Mark your calendars to see the school and meet the teachers!
Back-to-School Open House: Thursday, September 22, 2022 6pm-7pm
This will be a time that you can stop by and meet the teachers, see the classrooms, as well as the entire school with our map activity! This is a very informal night to drop in at your leisure between 6pm and 7pm. Children are welcome to attend!
Curriculum Night: Thursday, October 20, 2022 6pm-7pm
This is the night to learn about the curriculum that we are using center wide as well as our second year of participation in the Preschool Development Block Grant, practice year 2! It will be more difficult to bring children to this event. We recommend that one parent represent the family, however if you are a one parent household that week, please sign up for care here.
Here’s the schedule of events:
6-6:05pm - Arrival and meet in the Great Hall
6:05-6:15pm - Whole center curriculum and quality presentation
6:15-6:20pm - Transition to child’s classroom
6:20-6:30 - Curriculum presentation in child’s classroom 1
6:30-6:35 - transition to second child’s classroom
6:35-6:45 - Curriculum presentation in child’s classroom 2 (this is the same as the 6:20 presentation)
If you only have one child, you are done after the first presentation - refreshments/mixer will continue until 7pm in outdoor area
We are excited to have parents inside the building for both of these events!
Need COVID Tests?
We have you covered! We have plenty to send home at any time. Just let us know and we will send some home with you. Currently, the tests that we have are the Binax Now tests that can be used with or without a proctor. We DO NOT require the use of a proctor. The boxes do not come with instructions, but they can be found here.
We are happy this is a service that we can continue to provide for our community members.
Thank you for staying informed by reading our newsletter!
yours,
The CG Team
