Weekly Updates
Week of June 5, 2023
This will be the last newsletter of the school year! Thank you for trusting us with your children, we do not take that lightly. Many of us are parents and understand the how hard it can be to let go. We have seen so much growth will all of the children. Just recently I realized the 4 year-old classrooms now look like 5 year-olds and the 3 year-olds look like 4 year-olds. Seems like an obvious statement, but when you look at photos from September to now they have all changed so much!
For families moving on to new centers, schools or programs we wish you luck and for those returning in the fall we will see you soon! We wish you all a happy, fun and safe summer. Thank you for choosing Addams ECC!
Upcoming Dates:
June 14th -- GSRP & Tuition Preschool Last Day of School!
June 15th -- ECSE Preschool Last Day of School!
Thank you,
Mrs. Truesdell

When you arrive please place your child's items in their "Extended Care Lockers" which are located right outside the main office. This is also where you will gather your child's belongings if they stay for After Care. The Extended Care Program is housed in room 108, the Gray Elephant Classroom! (also known as the Gross Motor Room or GMR).
