Welcome Back

We are very excited to be back and are hoping our second semester is as safe and healthful as our first semester. We are not letting up on our commitment to go above and beyond what needs to be done to keep the kids and the teachers safe. We were able to go 103 days COVID-19 free during our first semester and hope the next 144 days will be COVID-19 free as well. Second semester is filled with so many exciting and fun activities.  We ask that you please do your part to ensure that we can safely stay open. Please continue to wash your hands diligently and properly, use sanitizer, wear a mask and social distance as much as possible.

I know we are all getting tired of not being able to spend quality time with family and friends but for now its our best defense.

Christmas/ Christmas Program

Thank you for all the Christmas Gifts and Christmas wishes! We appreciate being thought of at Christmas. Personal thank you notes coming soon.

We hope you enjoyed the digital Christmas Program. We were hoping to get some feedback on what you thought during our long break, but sadly we did not. The most important thing though is the kids did an amazing job and loved doing it. We are beyond proud of them all!

See’s Candies

See’s Candies is your second mandatoryfundraiser. Specific details will be provided with your order form today in your child’s envelope.

Kindergarten Readiness testing begins this week in our 4-year-old class and KinderPrep class.

School Pictures

On February 4^th  (3’s) and 5^th  (4’s and KP) Ed Avila Photography will be here to take individual and class photos of the children. We are sending home picture order form envelopes soon in your child’s envelope. Ordering pictures is not mandatory. Siblings are welcome to be photographed as well. Ed will be here taking pictures at 9:30 (3’s) on the 4^th and 9:30 and 1:00 (KP) on the 5^th. If you need extra order forms just let us know.  Ed has been photographing Northminster children for over 20 years. His photos are of the highest quality and his prices are very reasonable. We ask that you do whatever possible to get your child to school on their picture day so they can be in the class picture J

Valentine’s Parties

We will NOT be having an official party for Valentine’s Day this year as the 14^th falls on a Sunday! They may, of course, bring in Valentines for their classmates. More details to follow.

Parent Teacher Conferences are scheduled for March 3-5. There will be no school on those days. You will be receiving your conference date and time next month.
