From the Principal’s Office

It’s time to start another school year and we are so excited to begin yet another journey through a great year of learning and growing!  The teachers are excited to get to know their new students and start the process of helping each of them gain knowledge and develop over the next several months.  It is always such a joy to see the changes in each child as they grow-up in our Enchanted Care Family!

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip!!   

With the new school year our Intermediate and Pre-K classes will be going on a fieldtrip to Lehner’s Pumpkin Farm on Wednesday, October 11^th.  We will be sending home permissions slips with more details around the first part of October. For many of our Intermediate students, this will be their first field trip EVER!!!! We know that this can be a very exciting and nerve-racking first for many children and parents, so please feel free to ask your teachers, Miss Cindy or Julie about any concerns you may have.  We do plan for all of the children and chaperones to ride on the big yellow school bus, any child that is under the age of 4 AND 40 pounds will have a 5-point harness, very similar to the harness in a car seat.  If we do run into a situation where the bus is full, we may ask some chaperones to drive themselves (and possibly their child) to the fieldtrip.

Professional Development Day

Enchanted Care will be having the first of 2 Professional Development Days for the 2017-2018 school year; therefore our school will be closed on Monday, October 9^th.  The teachers will spend the day learning about updates to our Links to Learning curriculum, exploring new classroom management techniques and working together to improve as a team.  The second Professional Development Day will take place in February.

Reminders

5 Tips to Expand Your Child’s Emotional IQ

September, 2017   |   Topics: Social Emotional

Young children experience many of the same emotions that adults do, but often don’t have the vocabulary available to talk about how they are feeling. You’ve probably been concerned or confused when your child seems emotional, but you don’t know why. He might yell, throw toys or seem quieter than usual,[.....]
