Thursday, February 12, 2015. All classes will be exchanging Valentines.
Please write your child’s name on their Valentine in the “from” section.
Please leave the “to” section empty (this will make it easier for the students
to pass them out.) Please make sure you include enough Valentines for each
student in the class. We will be serving Valentine sugar cookies.

ABC A.M.: 16 students
ABC P.M.: 16 students

Odds & Ends

February is Heart Health, National Low Vision & Dental
Awareness Month! This is a good time to focus on the health of our
children; early intervention is key. If you’ve noticed your child
experiencing problems seeing, hearing, or with speech, please take the
time to contact your primary care physician or school district to discuss
having your child tested.

With cold and flu season upon us. Please keep your child home if
he/she is ill.

For our students safety only instructors and registered students are
permitted to be in the classroom. This is a mandate of the Arizona
Department of Health & Human Services.

Please take your child to the restroom before class. For the safety
of the children, we are unable to open the potty door until all the children
have arrived and we have taken attendance.

Please continue working with your child at home. The classroom
learning reinforced by parent involvement builds a strong team to enrich
your preschooler’s early childhood education.

Research shows that brushing for two minutes is the
single most important method for reducing plaque and
preventing cavities, gingivitis and other plaque-related
diseases.
Brushing for two minutes twice a day is
crucial to maintaining healthy smiles.
Proper brushing technique cleans
teeth and gums effectively.

brush your way to a healthier
