CDS - First Program
The Weekly Word from CDS FP - August 14, 2018
2018/2019 School Year - Welcome!
Greetings CDS students and families! We look forward to welcoming the students on August 16th - our first day back to school. School starts at 8am, so please drop off students in the playground from 7:45-8:00am.
Thank you to all the people who have been working so hard to prepare for this school year. Teachers have been collaborating and planning for the year. Our facility staff have been working diligently to have a safe, clean, and upgraded campus for our students.
If you are new to CDS FP, then we likely met at the FP New Parent Orientation held August 9th. If you couldn't make that session, we are very much looking forward to meeting you in the coming days, and offer you a sincere welcome to the First Program.
It is my privilege to serve as Director of First Program for a seventh year. We have a dedicated team of passionate educators who are responsible for making this school the success that it is. We are eagerly anticipating beginning the term, and there will be lots happening straight away. Here's looking forward to starting the year great!
Educationally Yours,
Mr. Hill
Director of First Program
Uniform Updates
grades 1234 = 3x per week
grades PK K = 5x per week
Therefore, PK and K will wear the PE uniform every day - they will not wear the khakis and polo.
All students can wear the PE shirt and, if the weather is cold, wear the PE sweatpants, and if the weather is warm, wear the PE shorts.
On PE days, the student can also choose to wear a CDS jacket/hoodie: the zip-up hoodie, the pull-over hoodie, thick one, thin one, etc. - any. But if a jacket or hoodie is worn, the student must have a PE shirt underneath (or a polo on non-PE days, for grades 1-4)
We look forward to this new uniform being functional, comfortable, and safe for the students. Some good news is that this will be the uniform that students wear when they play FP sports: soccer, basketball, etc., therefore no new sports team uniform is needed.
For questions or concerns, please feel welcome to contact us at the FP office.
