URGENT REMINDER & REQUEST
We have seen a significant increase in vehicles idling in the parking lot AND in many instances with children in them. Please see the links above regarding the CT state laws as they pertain to idling and unsupervised children in vehicles. Speaking of children in vehicles, we have also seen many students in the front seat and/or out of car seats. None of our students are old enough or big enough to be in the front seat or out of a car seat.

Greeting SELC PK Families,
Thank you for all of the appreciation you have shared with us this week for teacher and staff appreciation! As a staff, we want to thank you for being INCREDIBLE partners in your child's education! We pride ourselves on true family partnerships as we learn so much from you as well!
This Sunday is Mother's Day on the calendar, and we wish all of you a Happy Day! In the spirit of equity, curiosity, and honoring diverse family structures, I encourage you to use this as an opportunity to talk about differences in families that you know and be curious about other family structures that might be different from yours. Kids can be aware of differences from 2 years of age! This is a great opportunity to foster respect for and appreciation of differences in families.
A FEW REMINDERS:
- Early Release May 22nd
