| FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER 2025 WE’RE SWITCHING: The children who played outside first each morning since September will start inside on Monday, February 3rd, meeting inside for the first half of the morning and vice versa for the remainder of the school year! Children who will now start outdoors (classes of Joanne, Diana, Shannon, Aadree and Heidi) may be walked into the yard by their parents or dropped off at the footsteps, where teachers will greet them on the path to the playground. If you do walk your child in, you must sign in your child upstairs in the office before leaving your child. The yard will be open at 8:50am, just like in the classrooms. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE SIGNING IN AND OUT EACH DAY: The State requires that you print your child’s first and last name and sign your full signature. Also, make sure you are signing in on your child’s teacher page. LATE to pick up your child? Please call, so that he/she doesn’t worry and to avoid late charges. VALENTINE’S DAY will be celebrated on Thursday & Friday, February 13th & 14th. Should your child wish to bring Valentines to school, please have him/her carry them in a small sack. They may sign the cards if they choose to, but do not address the cards as it is often difficult to pass the cards out if pre-addressed. BETTOLINO KITCHEN FUNDRAISER: Mark your calendars! Bettolino Kitchen is hosting a fundraiser on February 25th! Dine in or take out! Proceeds will benefit Town & Country Nursery School. Let your server know you are dining in support of Town & Country Nursery school. Bettolino Kitchen will give 15% back to Town and Country. TOWN & COUNTRY SPRING FAMILY PICNIC: Save the date!
