I hope you all had a safe and warm weekend! We will be having indoor recess if the temperature is below 20 degrees or if the playground is too slippery to play on. It is perfect to start learning about winter, now that the weather actually reflects the season! Have a fantastic week:)
We have a doorbell outside the classroom that is white with a red button. Please ring the bell for a teacher to let you in, we can hear that better than knocking, thank you!
When coming around the building to be let into the north door please knock on the preschool windows. The PreK room does not have a button to buzz you in.
