Countdown: 18 More Days of School! 🎉

Dear ELC Families,

We are buzzing with excitement as we count down the final 18 days of school! It has been a year full of growth, exploration, and joyful learning. We are so proud of how far our little caterpillars have come and look forward to celebrating their accomplishments.

🎓 End-of-Year Celebration
We are excited to honor your child’s growth with a special End-of-Year Celebration! Due to limited space, each student will receive 2 guest tickets to attend. Celebrations will take place in your child’s classroom, and two classrooms will be scheduled per time slot to help with parking and seating.

Teachers will send more information soon, along with your tickets. Please be mindful of your arrival and departure time so we can ensure a smooth experience for all families.

Celebration Schedule:

• 10:00–11:00 AM: Ms. Luy & Ms. McCarthy

• 12:00–1:00 PM: Mrs. Lofton, Mrs. Hargrove

• 1:00–2:00 PM: Mrs. Smith, Ms. Williams 

Preparing for Transition to Kindergarten

As our students prepare to take their next big step into Kindergarten, here are a few ways to support the transition at home:

• Visit your child’s new school, if possible

• Read books about starting Kindergarten

• Practice daily routines like getting dressed and packing a lunchbox

• Encourage independence with tasks like tying shoes or zipping coats

• Talk positively about the exciting new experiences ahead

📅 Important Reminders:

• May 26 – Memorial Day (No School)

• June 6 – Family School Partnership Day (No School – End-of-Year Celebrations)

• June 13 – Last Day of School

With Appreciation, 
Ms. Williams
Director, Early Learning Center
