REMINDERS

*** Swap out the extra clothes in student’s cubbies for items that are weather appropriate (3 changes needed).  

*** Have students practice zipping and buttoning at home! This will make the transition to winter much easier.

*** Please continue to encourage students to be independent and try things on their own, especially with fine motor skills.

*** If students are sick, please keep them home. Inform teachers of any illnesses and absences related to illness. Do not send students to school if they are medicated! This applies to all classrooms. Please be considerate of others and our shared spaces. Thank you! 

Resignation Ms. Bri – Nov 14th 

Lastly, we wanted to inform you that I (Ms. Bri) will be resigning from my position on Nov 14th. I have started to inform the students of this as I know it will be a big adjustment and will affect the dynamic of the classroom.

Admin decided it would be easiest to do an internal hiring for my position; however, a choice has not been made yet. We will send out a letter with more details in the near future. Thank you so much for your support 🙂
