Dear Wines Families,

It’s hard to believe that we are heading into February. While we may still experience the “teeth” of Winter come February, every day is a day closer to spring! Below is the news for the week.

Parent Involvement Day Feb. 10

Our staff is excited to host our families on Feb. 10^th for our annual Parent Involvement Day. In addition to the opportunity to join your child/children in class, we have other great opportunities that day. Our PTO will be providing coffee and light refreshments when school begins. Staff will be providing lunch to any parent who is able to stay. Staff will also provide snacks all day. We have parent workshops with our partners from the Human Rights Campaign’s Welcoming Schools program. In addition, we are partnering with the Generosity Project who will be on hand to pass out bags for families to fill for The House By the Side of the Road. This is an optional at home family service project to support this great community organization. We know they are collecting kids pajamas, socks, underwear, and boys pants. A more complete list of items to collect will be available that day.

Below is a link to RSVP to Parent Involvement Day. It is most important that we have information on how many adults are eating lunch with us and also how many adults are joining our parent workshops. Please fill out the brief RSVP form below so we can gather this important information.

Y5/K Round Up: Time Change

As I hope you know from previous emails, our Kindergarten/Y5 Round Up is next Wednesday, Feb. 5^th. It has come to my attention that in the various publications from the school district in the Ann Arbor Observer, etc. the start time is listed as 6:00 and not 6:30 as I have advertised locally. While we will still likely wait until 6:30 to get things started, we do expect folks to arrive earlier due to this small error.  Again, if you have a child who will be eligible for Y5 or Kindergarten next year and/or have friends and neighbors who do, please join us with your child. If you know your child is coming to our school next year, please contact Robin at moorero@aaps.k12.mi.us and let her know so we can add them to our list.

Current Young 5’s Families: You do not need to attend Round Up. We will provide you information on registration requirments at a later date.
