September Newsletter

Dear Parents,

This month we welcome new friends to our old classes and introduce a brand new class as well. It's an exciting month with lots of changes! For this reason, we will spend September reviewing rules and classroom courtesy. Everyone will learn the importance of respect – respecting ourselves, each other and our environment. These manners will carry us through the school year and beyond, helping us to work and learn together peacefully.



At home, ask about the new friends your child is meeting as Love and Dream classes undergo a bit of shuffling around, and as new students join. Watch as these young men and women cultivate an understanding of what it is to treat others with respect. From mealtime to outings to helping out at home, there are so many opportunities to show off our newly-acquired sense of courtesy. Be sure to remember your manners, and say “thank you” to the young lady or gentleman in your house!

Enjoy your child!
