Haytown Nursery School

JANUARY 4, 2012
REGISTRATION FOR 2012-2013
     We are excited to be able to offering our programs for next year!!  We are doing an optional second day for the Terrific 2′s and 3′s, and we are doing an optional Fantastic Fridays for the Olders and Youngers!!  Plus we are offering lunch and possibly extended hours!! 
     Registrations for next year were e-mailed in December and were also distributed through the classrooms or by mail. Registrations for current and alumni families are given priority until January 9th.  On January 10th we will open registration to families new to our school.  Details are available in the registration packet.  If you have any financial concerns, I’ll be glad to work them out with you.
     If you know of anyone interested in our school, please let me know and I’ll send them the registration materials.
 
BIG JEFF CONCERT FOR ALL AND OPEN HOUSE FOR NEW FAMILIES
     We are thrilled to be able to offer a Big Jeff concert to all our families and their friends on Friday, January 13th.  We are having Big Jeff concert from 11:00 to 12:00 followed by an Open House for new families from 12:00 to 1:00.  Our children love Big Jeff – so I hope that you and your children will attend!! You are welcome to bring friends, too.  If you know of anyone who might be interested in our school, this is a great opportunity for them to have fun and visit us.
 
CLASSROOM VISITATIONS
     As was listed in our school calendar, the week for Classroom Visits is January 17, 18, and 19, 2012.  Sign-up sheets will be posted outside the classroom doors. If you would like to visit your child’s classroom, this is the perfect opportunity.  While the slots are for an hour, don’t feel that you must stay the whole time.  Due to space constraints, we are asking that you don’t bring siblings.  By the way, sometimes your child will see you in the classroom and act quite differently than they do on other days at school.  Other times a child might ignore the parent’s presence and go about normal classroom activities – you never know.  Enjoy!!!!
 
SCHOOL CLOSINGS AND INCLEMENT WEATHER
     It’s tough trying to figure out whether or not to have a school closing due to inclement weather.  The neighboring public schools have not always agreed on what to do.  My decisions will be based on their decisions as well as a “guess” about what Mother Nature is going to do.  Because of transportation issues, I usually make the decision by about 7:00 a.m.  Hopefully, everyone will get their phone chain call fairly early.  Please remember that the final decision of whether or not to come to school is up to you.  Please remember that if the weather gets bad while your child is at Haytown, you can pick him/her up early.
 
TUITION
     January tuition is now due – $350/$439/$455.  Please let me know if there is ever a problem with paying the tuition, I would be glad to work out an alternate payment plan with you.       We are also in the process of setting up payment through PayPal. More info to follow!
 
Looking forward to a wonderful 2012!
