The snow will be coming sooner then we would like
* please make sure that your child has snowpants, snowboats, waterproof gloves/mittens and a hat everyday!
* we will be going outside and playing in the snow, as long as the wind chill is 20 degrees or warmer.
* it's also a good idea to keep an extra pair of pants & socks at school just incase they get wet from the snow and need to change while their clothes dry.
Very important reminders!!!
* Please remember to turn in all paperwork that is missing from your child's folder, by Monday, November 19th! I recieved a letter today from our licensing rep reminding me.
If I gave a a paper last week that stated your child was missing something (birth certificate, lead test recognition, TB test recognition and/or signature page of licensing standards), please get that to me ASAP, so your child can continue to come to school.
* If your child is going to be absent or come an extra day, please call us by 8:00am, so we can order the correct number of lunches, 847-432-3328.
Upcoming Event!
Pajama Day! 
* On Thursday, December 20th, we will be having a pajama day to close out our unit of trains with the Polar Express and to celebrate going on Winter Break!
