Kindergarten Connection
We are still registering new Kinders for next year! We are so excited to have them join us. If you know anyone that still needs to register their future Kinder, please have them call the office and speak to Mrs. Brueggemann.
A few days of nice weather tricked us! Our kids were "hot" and whipping out those Spring and Summer duds! Since Missouri weather is so unpredictable, please continue to dress our Blue Jays in layers. Crossing fingers that nicer weather is around the corner and here to stay!
Thank you always for the amazing support and partnership. We love your kids and will continue to create an environment that is safe and caring for them. This year is flying by and our students are really showing some FABULOUS leadership. From welcoming new peers to cleaning up our community, our kids exude Blue Jay Pride!
If you need anything, you can reach me at 636-231-2650, send a message to our Facebook page or Parent Square, come in for a visit, or email me at kristen.daffron@sdowmo.org. I am here for your family!

Notes from the Nurse
Handwashing is the first and most important step in preventing germs from spreading. Germs are everywhere- on our food, on our skin, on door handles and light switches, cell phones and more! By washing our hands frequently, especially during cold and flu season or when preparing food, we can keep germs from spreading.
But not everyone washes their hands when they should. A disturbing study found most (95%) people aren’t washing well enough to kill germs. A staggering 10% of people didn’t even wash at all after using the restroom. Since you can’t rely on other people to keep their germs to themselves, you and your family should make handwashing a habit.
