Principal Updates 4 - September 27, 2024
Dear Early Steps Families:
Thank you all for your continued cooperation in maintaining a safe and orderly arrival and dismissal process at Early Steps! As a reminder, please be sure to drop off students in the Winthrop St.- Hancock St. circle only between 7:50 - 8:00 AM. Hosmer School buses start arriving at 8:00 AM. For all drop offs outside of that time, students must be accompanied by a caregiver to the front door following the articulated arrival/dismissal procedures shared in earlier Updates. If your child is tardy, you will need to sign your child in at the main office. Thanks
Be sure to read the section of my newsletters 'Some Important Dates' and note these dates/times on your calendars. Our Cunniff and Lowell School friends may have slightly adjusted times. Those PreK students/families will receive newsletters from both the Cunniff Principal, Julia MacEwan or the Lowell Principal, Stacy Phelan, and me. Please be sure to review them both. Next up:
***Caretakers and students are welcome to visit. Please arrive promptly at 5:30 as families of the very large Hosmer School will also be arriving for their 6:00 PM start.)
Below are pics of our school and some information for your planning purposes.
Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!
Keep each other well,
Dr. Theresa McGuinness
