Summer Welcome Postcard & Email

Welcome to our 2018-19 WIPP students!

The blog is a great place to check for updates throughout the year.

This week we sent out emails and snail mail postcards with some basic information about the start of the school year. If you didn't receive an email, please check your spam folder first. Sometimes our group emails end up being flagged as junk. If we've somehow missed you, let me know at wipp450@gmail.com. If your email address changes, or if you would like to add another email address to the list, just email back and let me know. While we do still send home paper notices for most things, there's a lot that's covered in our email updates!

Our Parent Open House is Wednesday, August 22, at 7:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary. This gives parents an opportunity to meet their child's teacher and get some additional details on the start of the school year and classrooms. This meeting is for parents and should be over by about 7:30-7:40.

Our Student Get-Acquainted Day is Thursday, August 23, 9:00-10:30. For our 3s and 4s, we ask that you walk your child into his/her class, give us some fun time together, and then return to pick them up between 10:20 and 10:30. We do our 2s a little differently, with a 15-20 minute playdate. There's more information on this on our emails and postcards.

There's no school on Friday, August 24, to give teachers a chance to get all of their last minute things finished. We ask that you talk to your child before classes start up the week of August 27th about all of the fun things and good friends that he/she will have to look forward to. You can send supplies in your child's bookbag on the Get-Acquainted Day. We'll send supply lists out in July once we take stock of the tissues/hand sanitizers/glue sticks/etc. that we have left from this year! :)

Teachers will receive their class lists the week of August 13th and you'll receive an email and/or a letter from your child's teacher shortly after that with some class specific information.

Most of our classes for 2018-19 are full with short waiting lists. If your plans change, please let us know so we can make sure we open up a spot for another family.

Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks for joining us!

Sunshine Summer: Week 3

Birds! Birds! And more birds!  Plus lots of fun!

That was Week 3 of Sunshine Summer!

Sunshine Summer: Week 2

We had a great time with all of the bug crafts and activities last week. Tomorrow will start Week 3--the theme is BIRDS!

We ask that all parents walk their child/children up to the registration table near the school door on the 4s side on Monday morning to check-in and find room assignments. (If you haven't completed payment, we ask that you do so Monday morning.) After the first morning, we'll do a regular carpool in the front parking lot from 8:50--9:05 in the mornings and 11:50--12:05 in the afternoons.

Your child won't need to bring a backpack until the final day of the week. We'll save most of our projects to send home then. We serve snack just as we do on a regular school day, so you won't need to worry about sending any food or drink.
