Kindergarten aged children should not be in front a computer or tablet screen all day, and as our program is play based, we will divide the day up into 20-30 minute online sessions with activities to do at home. The sessions online will take place via zoom. 

If you do not have a device for your child to use for the online learning days, please contact Mrs. Terry by December 11, 2020.

Every year, we collect food and other items for the needy. This year, each grade level is being asked to donate a specific item. The KINDERGARTEN classes are being asked to donate TOOTHPASTE.  If you are able to donate a tube of toothpaste, we will be collecting donations at the school until December 11th, 2020.  Thank you in advance for your generosity and thank you to the families that have already sent in toothpaste and other items for the needy.
