No Bad Weather, Only Bad Clothing
This is a kind reminder, if you haven’t already done so, to send your child to school with a heavy parka, hat/earmuffs, a scarf, and gloves/mittens daily to school. You may also wish to send snow boots and snow pants to school to keep in your child’s cubby/locker for those freezing recess times. We will be outside most days unless the weather (including windchill) is –10 degrees or colder. To participate in sledding during recess, students must wear snow boots and snow pants. Take a minute to stop by the Lower School office lost and found to see if your child’s snow gear is there!
Wednesday, December 11: CHAMP Assembly
At our next CHAMP assembly on Wednesday, December 11, we will celebrate the CHAMP attribute of “inclusive.” Please wear your CHAMP shirts!
Friday, December 13: Virtual LS Quarterly Parent Coffee
As the winter season is a busy time for families, we will be offering a virtual, asynchronous Lower School Parent Coffee for this quarter. The topic is “Parent Wellbeing: Self-Regulation for Our Children and Ourselves.” A pre-recorded video link will be shared with parents on Friday, December 13, for you to watch at your convenience.
