Regarding future 3K Family Days, we are making one change in that there will not necessarily be one every month. October's 3K Family Day will be a simple 30 minute social on Halloween, October 31. Whoever picks your child up is invited to come 30 minutes earlier for a little gathering. You do not need to arrive early...only if it works out for you. Please do not feel like you need to take a day off of work. (See below.)
We will not be having a specified November or December 3K Family Day. Instead, you will be invited to events such as the Christmas concert and St. Nick Day (more info. to come). In January you will be invited to the Catholic School Week events (more info. to come).
October is upon us and we are now in full swing in 3K. Please note the following upcoming events:
October 3 ~ Temporary Drop Off & Pick Up Procedures
- Important Reminder: As stated in the school newsletter asbestos will be removed from the old convent and rectory. Following this, demolition is scheduled. These events will take place beginning tomorrow, October 3. Please walk your child into the school building through the Main Street doors. This is also where we will meet you at 11:00. Mrs. Gruber will be outside assisting. We will let you know when procedures return to normal.
October 17 & 19 ~ Parent Teacher Conferences
- Soon you will receive an email from the school regarding parent teacher conferences. St. Clare School utilizes "SignUp Genius" for coordinating this. You will be given a link to the sign up. Please select one time slot per child.
- *Please note: The online sign up provides time slots beginning at 3:30 and running through 6:30. However, I am also going to be available between 11:00 and 1:00 on these days. Please let me know if you would like to book one of these 15 minute time slots. Feel free to email me or write a note.
October 22 ~ Open House for 3K, 4K & 5K
- Current and future 3K, 4K and 5K students and families are invited to join us for an Open House at St. Clare School on October 22.
- The Open House begins after Wrightstown's 10:00 Mass.
- Please bring a friend who you think might be interested in seeing our school!
October 26 ~ Picture Day!
- This is picture day for our 3K friends and picture retake day for others. Miss Mary and I will assist the students with this.
October 31~ Halloween
- You are invited to drop your child off as usual with an appropriate Halloween costume (no blood, guns, etc.) Non-threatening Halloween costumes are encouraged. Many young children are quite afraid of some of what they see during this time of the year so we ask that you are mindful of this as you prepare a costume for your littles. You may either have your child wear a costume to school or be prepared to help your child change into a costume after arrival. Simply do whatever works best for you, keeping in mind the weather.
- If you would like to send a special treat to school with your child to pass out to the others you are more than welcome to do so. We have 10 students. Please note that because we are cognizant of food allergies and sugar intake, the children will be taking these particular treats/snacks home in a treat bag. We will have a snack during regular snack time.
- We are planning some fun Halloween themed activities with the children on this day including a parade around the school.
- At 10:30 3K families are invited to join us in the cafeteria for a 30 minute social. This is our October 3K Family Day. No need to take off work. Come if you can, but do not feel obligated. (It is important that we leave the cafeteria at 11:00 so that the hot lunch volunteers can get set up.)
