A Note From Our Principal,
Summer has come to an end and another school year is upon us. We’d like to extend a warm welcome to our new families, and a sincere thank you to returning families and those that chose to spend their summer with us. We enjoyed making memories with your children!
We recognize that this is a busy time for many families and are using this month’s school newsletter to include reminders on school closures, communication, security and more. Please read through this newsletter carefully, and let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Lila Afoa
Holiday Closures & School Year Calendar
Our school does not follow the local elementary school schedule as we are open more days per year. You can access our school year calendar closures here for a printable version to use as a reference. Please note that on during winter, spring and summer breaks, optional camp schedules are available. Information and registration for these camps will be made available 3-4 weeks prior.
Communication
Communication is an important part of connecting home to school. Our daily, weekly and monthly platforms of digital communications are done primarily through our Links 2 Home. If you’re not currently receiving photos and daily reports for your child you can easily change this by downloading the Links 2 Home app on your phone. Just type ‘Links 2 Home’ in the search bar for the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. After downloading Links 2 Home you can register with the same email address that you used to enroll your child in our school. Links 2 Home also allows you to leave drop-off notes for your child and notify your child’s teacher of absences. If you’re having issues accessing Links 2 Home please let us know.
Below are the classroom newsletters. Please click on your child’s classroom to read for important information regarding your child’s classroom. In addition, look in the classroom for the black Parent Board where important information will also be posted.
