Astronotes for April 26, 2017

Apr 26, 2017 | Bud Whileyman


Kindergarten registration is going strong this week.  We are getting to meet some of our new parents who are registering their children.  Many have questions about the school and kindergarten activities.  Feel free to ask our staff any questions you may have about the kindergarten year.  There will be an orientation for new kindergarten students and parents on the Friday before school starts. This would also be a good time to check everything out and get to meet the teacher.

Next week we start the final month of the school year.  It is also Teacher Appreciation Week.  We will be having various teacher events during the week to let the teachers know how much we appreciate them and all they do for our students.  Feel free to let your child’s teacher know how much you appreciate them.

We have a little over a month to go for this school year and there are many activities on the calendar.  Please make sure you check the calendar of events below to keep up with all of the happenings from now until the end of the school year.  You can also check our website and/or call for more information.
