Dear Parents and Caregivers,
It’s TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK! Thank you to all of our parent volunteers that have helped to plan little surprises for our teachers this week. You can show your appreciation by making a donation to our spring Teacher Bonus Fund drive. This drive happens twice per year - in the Fall for a winter holiday bonus, and in the spring for the end of the school year bonus. Please remember that our teachers are not permitted to accept any other gifts from parents, so this is the BEST way to show your appreciation!
Hat Fundraiser!
Show your love for Common Ground and support us by with this super cute hat! Preorder this super cute hat for $35 and show your love for Common Ground! Hat’s not your thing? Sponsor a teacher with a donation!
This hat is a BOCO Gear Technical Trucker, combining style with performance!
Hats will be available for pick up in July! Just in time for summer FUN!

A couple of reminders…
1) Please drive slowly and carefully in our parking lot at all times, but especially during drop off and pick up. We still are noticing cars pulling in WAY TOO FAST and not being careful enough while backing. We also ask that you:
do not pull into the driveway/fire lane in front of the fence during pick up
park in actual parking spaces during pick up, do not park on the concrete pad or in the fire lane
finish your business prior to picking up your child, so that you can be present for them.
2) Please remember to use the absence report form if your child is out for any reason. We are required to track all illnesses, not just covid. Please let us know if you need any more covid tests, we have plenty to give out. And thank you for keeping your kids home when they are sick!
3) Make sure you are signing up for extended hours when you need them. We plan our staffing based on sign ups. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0f4faca723abff2-fall#/
Thank you for being wonderful members of our community!
-the CG team!
