Winter Break was a wonderful blend of craziness, peacefulness and rejuvenation. How nice to have extra family time and maybe spend quality time with friends you can’t seem to schedule in during the rest of the year.

Many children enjoyed cousins and grandparents who live elsewhere. Reconnection is so important with extended family.

Returning to school and meeting up with your classmates is special again. For awhile getting back into the routine can be hard, but the teachers quickly have their classes humming like clockwork again. Believe it or not, teachers really do miss these little ones after a two week separation.

We are just back one week and then have the next Monday off for Martin Luther King Day, but then we will really settle in for the second half of the year.

Teachers will be taking a really good look at how your child is doing as they prepare for Parent/Teacher Conferences in February. They will give you valuable insight into your youngsters and where they might do best the following year. Our teachers have lots of experience, so listen. They want what is best for the children and so do you.

Welcome back. It’s good to be here.
