Dear Nursery Families,
I look forward to being with our nursery children tomorrow. Although Crispin remains will with his second round of recent illness, his mom is staying home with him tomorrow, and I'll be in class.
For the first time ever, the kindergartens will be closed for 3 days before spring break, April 11, 12, and 13, when the rest of the school, including the nursery, is open. This is to allow teachers and specialists to provide rising first grade assessments. Last year I polled potential nursery families, and parents expressed a desire for me to keep the nursery open, so that is what we are trying this year. Because I am the parent of a kindergartner who needs to be held close after all these illnesses, I will be using personal leave during those 3 days to be a dad, so Lynne will be joined by Carrie.
Please note that the kindergarten teachers changed the date of the kindergarten closures to the 3 days before Easter break. It was initially on the calendar for April 25, 26, and 27.
If you are a family with a kindergarten and nursery child, please let me or Lynne know if your child will be attending that week so she can plan appropriately. While some nursery children will be delighted to come to school when their big brother or sister is home (and parents may get a chance of alone time with the older child), others might resist coming to school vehemently with things being a bit off. I recommend looking ahead and picturing the situation without fear, but with openness so that you are not surprised on April 11.
Thanks,
William
