Greetings SELC Families,

Mr. Dino, myself, and other staff have taken note of kindness in the form of pleasant greetings, waves, and consideration of others at arrival and dismissal in our parking lots and at our classroom doors. Life is busy, but as one community supporting over 300 3, 4, and 5 year olds these small moments and interactions support a warm and welcoming climate for our school community and offers great modeling for our Eaglets. Thank you for spreading kindness at SELC!

END OF YEAR SCHEDULE AND UPDATES:

NO SCHOOL MONDAY MAY 29th IN OBSERVANCE OF MEMORIAL DAY

Take time on Monday to remember and honor those who have lost their lives in service of our country.

June 8th and 9th: End of Year Family Celebration: Information has been sent home today with Integrated, Head Start and PK STEAM! We look forward to spending time with you to celebrate a fantastic school year!

JUNE 15th IS THE OFFICIAL LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

iPad COLLECTION:

As we prepare for the end of school year 2022-2023 in just a few weeks, we will be collecting student iPad’s for reimaging, cleaning, maintenance, inventory, and summer storage. PKers will turn their iPads in on Monday June 5th.

Let's continue to keep STOWE SAFE as we head into the last month of school! Use extreme caution when entering and exiting our parking lots at Stowe Early Learning Center. With over 300 Eaglets coming and going throughout the day, it is critical that everyone remain vigilant in keeping traffic flow safe.

JUST A REMINDER

• With warm weather upon us, be sure to send your Eaglet in (or with) sturdy playground shoes. Sandals are comfortable for the classroom, but can become a safety issue outside. Your child can always switch before heading outside and again after outdoor adventure.
