Hails and Farewells 
We said a fond farewell to Destiny in the Ladybugs.

Mara's Memos
We had a great start to the new school year.  Thanks so much for all your patience and attention to details.  Hopefully, everyone has settled into a routine by now and the back to school traffic has calmed down.  Please make sure you have downloaded the mykidzday app so you can get updates from your child’s teacher.

We are excited to offer Picture Day here for your convenience.  It is a crazy couple of days, so be prepared.  The younger classrooms (Tadpoles, Caterpillars, Ladybugs, Bumblebees, and Pandas) and all sibling pictures will be taken on Monday, as we will have two photographers on this day only.  On Tuesday, the older classrooms will have their turn (Bears, Owls, Birds, Butterflies, and Lions).  Please bring your child dressed and ready for pictures as they usually start at 7:30 am.  Send in a change of clothing including shoes for after their individual pictures.  The class picture will be taken after all the individual pictures are done, so their clothes will have been changed already.  Your child will not go out to recess until after their individual pictures are taken.  If you have older siblings or you want to get in on the action, please let the office know and we will gladly make those arrangements. Please do not take your child directly to the photographer as that interferes with our process and most children do better without a parent present.
