Bulletin Board
Classroom Bulletin Board
We will continue to post news and updates on our website but please remember to check the classroom bulletin board in the commons area of the school. Many individual classroom announcements will be posted on the bulletin board only. It’s a great way to keep up with what’s going on in your child’s room.
Reminders and Announcements
Our Valentine's Day celebrations will be held on Tuesday, February 14 during your child's lunchtime. Classes will be asking for some goodies to be brought in. Please check the bulletin boards in the commons area for sign up sheets. Thank you.
Send Some Love
We'll celebrate Valentine's Day again this year with out "Send Some Love" table. Come in and make a valentine for your special someone. Our kindergarteners will act as postal carriers and deliver the cards to your children.
This fundraiser will support the American Heart Association. Look for the table beginning next week! Thank you in advance for your support.
Cold Weather Changes
Please check your child's cubby and trade out their warm weather messy day clothes for cold weather messy day clothes. Please make sure all items are labeled with your child's name. Jackets, sweaters and coats should be labeled also.
PARENTS
School in the Hills offers an Academic Program from 9:00am – 2:30pm and a Full-Day Program from 9:00am – 4:00pm. Class is in session during these hours so we ask that all children be dropped off by 9:00am.
If you arrive after 9:00am we ask that you drop them off at the front office and a staff member will escort them back to the classroom. Academic student must be picked up between 2:00 - 2:30. (There will be a late fee assessed for each minute after 2:30.) If you arrive to pick up your child before 4:00pm we ask that you wait at the front desk and your child will be brought up to you.
Thank you for your help in keeping our work times focused and uninterrupted.
STUDENT DRESS CODE
Please remember no crocs, flip-flops, sandals or other unsafe shoes. Children should be wearing closed toe and heel, rubber soled shoes. We are still able to wear jeans on Fridays.
Please remember to label ALL items that your children bring to school with them. Outerwear should also be labeled.
Outdoor Play
Time outside is an important part of a child's day. It provides the fresh air needed to insure good health and aids in the development of social and motor skills. Weather permitting the children go outside every day. When the "feels like" temperature is no colder than 35 or hotter than 101, we will continue outside time as normal. In case of a light sprinkle or drizzle, the children may still go outside for a short time.
Austin's weather can change rapidly; therefore it is important to dress appropriately. With our location, and the pond nearby, the playgrounds can get very windy and temperatures may be cooler at the school than at your home, layering clothing is very helpful.
If your child is recovering from an illness and is not able to go outside; you are asked to keep him or her at home. The school does not have adequate staff to provide for your child to remain inside.
