May 29 & 31

Hello Parents,

End of the Year Picnic
Just a reminder that our picnic is tomorrow, Tuesday, May 29 right after school at Shamrock Park.  Please bring your own lunches, drinks, sunscreen and chairs/blankets. This will be a nice opportunity for all of us to meet and greet some of the new students who will be in our 4K class next year as well as next year's 3K students.  Again, we hope you will help us welcome any new faces to our St. Clare School!

Thank You!
It's hard to believe we have reached the end of the year already!  I want you to know how much I have thoroughly enjoyed having your children on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Mary and I have the best job!  We truly enjoy it.  Children are such a gift and the time that teachers get to spend with them is a reminder of how wonderful our Creator is.  Thank you for entrusting your children in our care.

Next Year
As posted in the school newsletter, I will be with your children again next year as I will be teaching both 3K and 4K.  I am already looking forward to being with your children in 4K!  The 4K teacher's aid is Mrs. Stephanie Bartosh and she is planning to join us for our picnic.

Bay Beach
On June 5, St. Clare families will meet up at Bay Beach for the day.  You are more than welcome to join us if you'd like.  Simply purchase your own tickets and bring your own lunch.

Hello Parents,

Shoes
Please be sure your child has appropriate shoes for running on the playground.  As per the dress code, they need to have a back on them.  Tennis shoes are best.  Keep in mind that we have wood chips on the playground which repeatedly get stuck in many of the summer shoes.  Sometimes this can cause injury as well.

Registration
The office is busy finalizing plans for next year.  We understand that when you register in January sometimes you many not be certain of your plans for next year.  With summer quickly approaching, if you anticipate any changes in your registration (perhaps you did not yet register or you may wish to adjust the number of days your child will coming next year, etc.) please let the office know as soon as possible.  

Welcoming New Families
Please note that next year's 3K and additional 4K students have been invited to join us for our end of the year picnic.  This will be a nice opportunity for all of us to meet and greet some of the new students who will be in our 4K class next year.  With a year of experience at St. Clare School under your belt, please join Miss Mary and I in welcoming any new faces and answer questions they might have.

Tomorrow's weather looks to be quite nice in the morning so we'll head outside near the end of the day.  You can pick your child up from the playground area.  We are introducing the letter Y this week.  

Parent Teacher Conferences
There will not be any end of the year parent teacher conferences.  However, if you would like to do so, I am more than happy to sit down with you between now and the end of the year.  Just let me know if you would like to do this.
