A few reminders:
-Please do not send small toys with your children to school (Lego guys, bracelets, etc.) tend to become more of a distraction and can get easily lost in the big school!
-If your child is having a playdate, please let me know. I need to hear from the child who is going home with another family (not the receiving family!) so everyone is safe! A quick e-mail works best!
