February Update

Hi Parents!

It's hard to believe that we're already into February! If your child will be attending WIPP next year and you haven't turned in your registration yet, please do that quickly. Right now we still have at least a couple of spots in each of our classes, but with registration now open to everyone they may fill quickly. You can find registration forms and information at wippreschool.blogspot.com/2019/01/happy-new-year.html or call Miss Lesley in the office at 912-897-7568.

If you're planning ahead for summer, WIPP will once again offer our summer camp program, Sunshine Summer, right after our school year ends (weeks of May 20th, 28th, and June 3rd.) You can get a glimpse of one of our weeks from last year at https://wippreschool.blogspot.com/2018/06/sunshine-summer-week-3.html . The hours are 9:00-12:00 and each week has a $10 registration fee and $60 tuition. We'll be sending forms home in March. Children must be completely potty-trained to attend.

Speaking of potty-training :-) Just a reminder that in order to attend our 3s, children must be potty-trained and independent in the bathroom. I know that most of our 2s are well on their way to this, but if your child is not, please make sure the teachers know how you're working on this at home. We'll do everything we can to support you and help out.

Sweet Feet Soccer starts next Monday, February 11, and Scoops Lacrosse begins on Tuesday, February 12th. You can find all of the information you need to register http://wippreschool.blogspot.com/2019/01/soccer-and-lacrosse-spring-sessions.html .

Thank you for sending in your ink and toner cartridges for recycling. We take them each month to Staples and use the money for our office supplies--mostly paper! We haven't had to pay for case paper yet this year!

Next week we'll be collecting supplies and money for Coastal Pet Rescue. You can check the donate page on their website (http://coastalpetrescue.org/donate/) for additional information on what they need, but we're focusing on collecting change and the items below. Purina One/Purina Pro foods are preferred. Look for a paper list coming home with the information repeated.
  • Purina ONE SmartBlend Natural Healthy Weight Formula Adult Dry Dog Food
  • Purina ONE SmartBlend True Instinct Canned Adult Wet Dog Food
  • Purina Pro Plan Focus Kitten Canned Wet Cat Food
  • Purina Pro Plan Puppy Dry Dog Food
  • Purina Pro Plan FOCUS Puppy Canned Wet Dog Food
  • Purina Pro Plan Focus Kitten Canned Wet Cat Food
  • Purina Tidy Cats Clumping Cat Litter
  • Puppy pads
  • Cleaning supplies (33 gallon trash bags, paper towels, clorox wipes) 
Thank you for being so proactive in letting us know when your child is sick and in following our health protocols to keep sick children home. We've had isolated cases of the flu, ear infections, stomach bugs, etc., but with the exception of one of our 4s rooms :-( we've been remarkably lucky in staying healthy. We'll continue to our part with hand-washing, nose-wiping, and classroom cleaning.


Thanks for all you do!

Kathleen
