6) Please dress your child for the weather.  We are outside, weather permitting, for 2 recesses.  Extra clothes (socks, mitts) will be appreciated.  We love to play in snow, and our mitts get wet quickly, plus the floors outside our classroom magically turn into puddles when we enter from recess. 🧤 🧦

7) If you haven't signed up for an interview time, please sign up via EDSBY.  If you are having trouble, please speak with me, and I will accommodate as best as I can for a time that works for you.
