Please make sure to stop by the front office to drop off your family’s tuition payment for the month of April. 

We are conducting our Annual Re-registration between April 1st and April 15th ( form included in this newsletter). The fee for this process is $125 for each child, due April 15th, by doing so it will guarantee you a seat for the new academic school year.

Please make sure to let us know your plan for the summer as well and complete the “child withdraw form” attached to this newsletter if you are not going to attend school this summer. This will help us to have an accurate count of children who plan on attending the summer program.  Thank you for your participation. 

Please stop by the office if you have any questions.

Ithas started! Most of the work is done next door for the moment …. but we are seeingprogress each day.   

Parent Teacher Conferences are now over. If you have not had the opportunity to meet with yourchild’s teacher(s), we strongly recommend that you stop by the front office to schedule a time to meet with them.  ParentTeacher Conferences are a vital component to a child’s success in school. La Maternelle is committed to keeping parents informed about their child on an ongoing basis.  As educators, we believe developmental assessment is an essential part of good early childhood curriculum.

We will be celebrating l’epiphanie during the first week of January. During this typical French tradition, the children will eat “La Galettedes rois”.  If you are interested to purchase a Galette for your family and friends, please send an email to Mrs. Charlotteby January 3rd and we will place the order for you.  The cost is $25 and it serves 8-10 persons.The warm and fresh galettes will be delivered on January 6th.

Our school will be under a little bit ofconstruction over the next few weeks.  As you already know, our school will have an expanded entry, a larger and moreappropriate office for the Director with adjoining conference room, an expanded teacher/parent lounge and several class rooms will be added. The workers are only working on the weekends and at night to ensure the children’s safetyduring this time. We also have plans for our playground which will be greatly expanded.  Again, this work will be done at night and over the weekends in the current school.  Thank you for your understanding during this process. Our school will look beautiful when it is finished!

Please be sure to update your child’s “cubby” with an extra change of winter clothing. Layers are the key to this season. Long sleeves and long pants will help keep your children warm. You may also want to send in gloves and a hat to keep at the school for those days when an unexpected (or early) cold front blows in. Thanks !

La Maternelle will be closed on December 23^rd, December 26^th, and January 2^nd.   We will need an accurate count of children for the week of December 27^th to December 30^th. This will help the teachers get their vacation time in and also help us prepare the accurate amount of snacks each day for the children. Please sign up on your child’s classroom door. Please mark IN – if your child will be here and OUT- if you are planning family vacation days. Thanks so much for your help!

Please share your family’s holiday cards and family pictures with us. We want to start a collection of beautiful families in the main hallway. We honor the season with the warmth of family pictures and well wishes! 

The picture day went very well. Pictures will be available for purchasing December 5^th at 8:30 am.  If you cannot be present, you will be able to buy them online.
