Madrone Trail Public Charter School

Dear Kindergarten Parents,

On Friday we had a lovely Lantern Walk at Star of the Morning Children’s Center in Jacksonville.  I am so grateful to them for including us in the celebration.  It has come to my attention that there was some confusion over the location and time of the Lantern Walk and that some children and families missed our walk.  I sincerely apologize for the confusion.  In the future, when there are multiple times and/or locations for events at our school, I will do my best to communicate more clearly the kindergarten time and location.

Parent teacher conferences are next week.  There is a sign-up sheet on the kindergarten bulletin board.  Please sign-up for a 30 minute conference time.  If none of the times work for you, please speak to me so we can arrange another time to meet.

 Wintery weather has arrived.  Our morning walks and our outside play time have been quite chilly.  The children love our outside time.  In order for us to continue to go outside on cold days children need to be dressed properly for the weather.  I request that all children come to school with a winter coat on (jackets and sweatshirts are no longer sufficient).  If you are unable to provide a winter coat for your child, please speak to me privately so I can arrange to get a coat for him/her.  If you are finding it difficult to get your child to put on a coat, please bring it to school with your child and I will insure they wear it.  I also request that children wear socks to school and have all limbs covered in warm clothing.  It’s better for children to wear many layers and take some off if they are too warm rather than being cold while at school.  Please read the attached article about warmth.  Thank you.

The Siskiyou School Holiday Faire is on Saturday November 21^st from 10-5 in Ashland.  I hope you plan on attending this great event.  There are many crafts and activities for children and booths of wonderful crafts and gifts.  The faire is also a wonderful place to buy Waldorf toys and items to enrich your child’s Waldorf experience at home.

I want to ensure that all families are receiving communication from me, so I am providing a paper copy of this letter to all families.  I will post a copy our school website as well.  I request that all families let me know if they would like to receive emails of future communications. 

Thank you and blessings on our wonderful class,

Miss Amy
