A couple of days late... just to touch base with parents who are sending their children on Thursday. Hey parents, it's going to be hot, hot, hot! Please, please, please, let your children wear shorts that are knee length or shorter, sleeved shirts and socks and shoes. Please no dresses, sandals or long sleeves. No jeans please.
We will be working intently on school work this summer. We have established two teaching teams and on days spent at the Garden School we will be working on all the academics we think the kids will enjoy. We will tackle a strong program of reading, math, handwriting, art, fine art, geography, history and science and music. Starting Monday there will be a spelling list sent home for half the school. This spelling list will be used to do a geography-handwriting entry for a book on field trips all the children are doing.
We will be doing a film festival for a half hour every day. These films are children's theatre and are well worth watching. This is a class. The class will begin after snack and go to 5:00.
Things to do and remember:
Every child needs his shot record by Monday!
Please make sure you are current with your accounts.
Please bring a one piece bathing suit for your child by Monday. The children do not need towels. Please bring a bottle of sun screen.
Please locate your field trip shirt for Friday. There will be no exceptions. Children without shirts will be sent home. Please make sure your child wears shoes and socks on all field trips.
Flip flops are expected on swim days. Please do not send children in shoes and socks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Theses are swim days. Please do not send children to school in swim suits. Children may not wear swimsuits all day. There is a time designated for changing clothing at school. NO swim shoes. Whoever created swim-shoes needs to be taken out and publicly humiliated.
This week tuition is regular price with a $10.00 field trip cost. Next week tuition climbs $25.00 every week during the summer whether your child attends or not. We cannot budget these kinds of trips without parent cooperation. For $25.00 a child is taken to the pool all day twice and goes on an elaborate field trip.
I think that's it. Can't wait to see my little people!

And elaborate field trips they certainly are! Both of our boys attended the Garden School for several years and NO other school or program takes field trips that come close to those taken by the Garden School. Kudos to Mrs. St. Louis, Mrs. Judy and all the GS staff.
Ty and Ian's mom.
What happened? You used to make us send swim shoes! Did something happen?
