Good Morning,
I hope you all had a wonderful break and a wonderful New Year. It sounds like everyone had a chance to catch up with family weather it be for holiday reasons or just a chance to vacation visit, it is always great to catch up with friends and family.
I need to start with a reminder about winter weather. We have outdoor recess almost everyday. In order for your child to maximize their outdoor fun, they need to be properly attired. This means hats, gloves, snow pants, a coat, and boots. If your child doesn't bring boots, they have to stand on the shoveled area until recess is over. It makes for a very boring time for them. Your child also needs shoes to change into once recess is over. This way they aren't getting the classroom rug all wet and the rest of us are not sitting in puddles. Your child is welcome to leave a pair a shoes at school. I thank you in advance in helping your child be prepared for this.
It looks like we will be skiing on Wednesday. Please don;t have your child bring the snowboard or skis to the classroom. They should be left outside the far end of the school near the gym entrance. Everything else can be brought to the classroom. I highly recommend that you label your child's clothing.
I am excited to get back into the swing of school and look forward to a fun yet rigorous academic January and February.
Peace,
Tommy
