SILVERWOOD READING TICKET HAS CHANGED: Silverwood no longer participates in “Reading is the Ticket” free ticket program.  They now use “Read to Ride.”  Our school has applied to participate in this program and is waiting to hear back from the Silverwood organization.  There may be a chance that they do not respond to our request this year, which is common in such large reading initiatives.  It took several years for our school to become a part of the former reading initiative.  If we do not get accepted this year, we hope our name is placed at the top of the list for the 2019-2020 school year session.  We will keep you informed of our progress as details unfold.

Thank you again for helping the school! 

STRING FOR GLOVES – We are recommending everyone do the following with their child and their gloves/mittens: Get a long piece of string, ribbon, or yarn that you match to the length of your kid’s wingspan.  Tie the string to both mittens/gloves (you may need to make a small hole and a knot, but it’s worth it in the longrun).  Then run one mitten/glove and the string through both sleeves of the coat.  The mittens/gloves will then just hang out the bottom of the sleeves and we will spend less time searching for lost gloves.

PLEASE NOTE CALENDAR DATE CHANGE: The Christmas Program date has been changed to Dec 15 because of facility availability.  Please mark the date change in your calendar.  

END OF QUARTER 1: The first quarter ends November 9.  Report cards will be sent home at parent conferences.

THANKSGIVING FEAST:  Parents are invited to come “feast” with their kiddo on November 14.  The event is 9-11:30.  Feasting begins at 11am.  There is a sign up sheet outside our classroom for each child to bring one item.

FUNDRAISER RESULTS: Everyone did awesome with the fall fundraiser!  Thank you so much for your involvement!  Winners and prizes will be announced Friday…stay tuned!

SNOW CLOTHES: Hate to say it but it’s time to get those snow clothes packed and ready!!  When snow is on the ground, kids need ALL FIVE THINGS to go outside.  All five things means: winter coat that zips, hood/hat, snow pants, snow boots, gloves; kids who do not bring their snow things will have to sit in the preschool during recess (which is not is much fun as playing outside).  Kids can also prepare to bring sleds for recess.  All sleds need their name in permanent marker in BIG LETTERS.

NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL – WEEK 3       SEPT 17, 2018

TUITION OPTIONS: Please see your child’s teacher or the office for paperwork on your tuition options for this school year.  Some of our parents have expressed an interest in paying their tuition balance over eleven months instead of twelve.  As you know, our current tuition rates are based on a twelve-month payment schedule.  The total tuition cost is distributed over twelve months, making the payment the same each month regardless of the amount of days students attend school.  We want to give families the choice of either an eleven-month or twelve-month pay schedule that best fits your financial needs. 

Please read the tuition scales and determine which one works for you.  Please sign the note of understanding and return before September 21 so we can prepare your October statement correctly.  Thank you!

FIRST GRADE CLASSROOM CHANGES: Our dear Mrs. O will be leaving July 14 for Virginia to join her newly-graduated Navy husband as he serves our country.  Her last day at CCA will be this Friday.  Please keep them in your prayers as they navigate this new journey.  Mrs. Brawley will become her long-term substitute for the rest of the school year.  Mrs. Brawley is already a current staff member and has been working with Miss Mindy in the Pre-K.  Mrs. Brawley has a degree in music education and is set to begin continuing her education in the fall by getting her teaching certificate through ABCTE (American Board of Certified Teachers of Education).  We interviewed several applicants for the long-term substitute position, but not one of them compares to her love, motivation, organization, and passion for educating children.  Please continue to pray for Mrs. O, Mrs. Brawley, and all of the first grade families as they explore these new adventures!

NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL – WEEK 8       NOV 6, 2017

SNOW CLOTHES:

It’s that time of year again!  If there is SNOW or ICE on the ground, kids cannot go outside unless they have all 5 things:

1. Winter coat that zips

2. Hat or hood

3. Snow boots

4. Mittens or gloves

5. Snow pants

STRING FOR GLOVES – We are recommending everyone do the following with their child and their gloves/mittens: Get a long piece of string, ribbon, or yarn that you match to the length of your kid’s wingspan.  Tie the string to both mittens/gloves (you may need to make a small hole and a knot, but it’s worth it in the longrun).  Then run one mitten/glove and the string through both sleeves of the coat.  The mittens/gloves will then just hang out the bottom of the sleeves and we will spend less time searching for lost gloves. J EVERY STUDENT WHO DOES THIS AND SHOWS MRS. YOUNG THEIR COAT will get a treat from the treasure box. J

FUNDRAISER UPDATE – The whole school did amazing!  We were able to raise money towards the building fund and the kids all reached their targeted goals.  The whole school will have a pj/cocoa/movie day soon as well as a chance to decorate the following teachers up as “human Christmas trees”: Mrs. Young, Mr. Young, Mrs. Helmuth, Mrs. Olhausen, Mrs. Galli

Top seller: Johnathan K

Top class: 3^rd Grade (earned the Sledding Party)
