Newsletter for November 2024 

It’s hard to believe that it’s November already!  Parent observation week was a huge success and we thank everyone who came in.  Many classes still need a room mom, so if you can volunteer, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Just another reminder that tuition is due by the 7^th of EACH month, and you can put the payment inside under the counter in the tuition slot or outside in the green mailbox labeled "GRACIE" on the side.  Please only put cash in an envelope.  Put child’s name on envelope (if cash) and put child’s name in memo line (if a check)!

The next parent observation is the week of December 9^th, this time, the last 30 minutes, to size your child for costumes, and to pay.  We are working on selections now.  Costumes range anywhere from $60 to $95.  As the week approaches and selections are finalized, we can be more specific. Checks will be held until January 1^st before they are deposited.

Weather policies:  If inclement weather requires the schools in St. Mary’s County to close, then we also cancel classes.  If schools have a delayed opening, we are open in the evening. If school is dismissed early due to bad weather, and/or if after school activities are cancelled due to inclement weather, then we cancel classes as well in the evening.
