Letters Home

We look forward to hearing from parents informally before and after school each day.

Please do not wait for conferences to bring up concerns. That said, we have a few ways that we reach out to families:

Cubbies:

We put notices in cubbies about school events and school news. Check everyday. We try to post new notices on the door so that you will know that a note is in the cubby.

White Board:

In front of the gate we try to post highlights of the day’s events as well as reminders about upcoming events.

E-mail:

We are happy to respond to e-mail if you are unable to reach us during school hours, or if you just want time to collect your thoughts. Write to:

Things are Falling Into Place

Dear Families,

We have some great things coming up that we want you to know about, so get out your calendars!

Halloween is SO MUCH FUN!

This Friday children are welcome to wear their costumes to school. We have our Halloween parade first thing in the morning. Children should bring extra clothes or wear school clothes under the costumes so that they will be comfortable for the rest of the day. Please be sure to take all costume parts home at the end of the day so kids are not disappointed!

Pumpkins are Peeking in the Patches

Dear Families,

We have had a great start to the new school year! Thanks to all that attended the Getting to Know You Potluck, it was great to see so many new families. We are working to post letters on the website as well as the homework for Madagascar and Kodiak. Visit and let us know what you think www.SCChildrensSchool.com.

Thank you Johanna Lingenfelter for organizing our first two field trips. The trip to the UCSC Farm and Garden was a great trip with a chance to try food
