Due 11/21 Dear Parents, Winter has come quickly, and the weather changes call for extra layers! Please remember to send your child with hats and gloves as they do go outside for recess after lunch (unless temperatures are too cold). Also, this is a great time to help your child gain more independence by teaching them how to zip their coats. I would greatly appreciate you taking the time to help your child with this matter!
