Newsletter: March 9


Dear Common Ground Community,

This newsletter has a theme! This week we are all about gaining hours! This weekend we spring forward as we set our clocks for the beginning of daylight saving time. While I know the time changes can mess with kids sleep schedules, we gain a wonderful hour of daylight to play outside in the evenings!

You will also be gaining an hour of care in the evenings! That’s right, we are ready to phase in extra hours in the center. Beginning on Monday, March 15th, Common Ground hours will be 8-5:30pm. Did you miss our announcement of the extra hour last week on the blog? If so, make sure you subscribe so that you can see posts as they happen, instead of waiting for our Tuesday Newsletter!

The gift of hours keeps coming with the kick off of Common Ground’s Birthday Fundraising Campaign! We’re excited to continue to give time, this time by giving families the gift of 5 hours on Saturday, March 20th! That’s right, Common Ground will be open for all currently attending families from 9:30am-2:30pm for “Spring Clean Saturday” on Saturday, March 20th! This is a FREE event with a suggested donation. Want to attend? Sign up right here!


Housekeeping Items:

1) Miss LJ has been going over our records to make sure that they are up to date! You can help us out by:

  • returning anything she has asked for, such as:

    • emergency care forms sent via adobe sign

    • providing updated immunization records whenever you take your child for a well visit where they receive immunizations

    • keep your eye peeled for any emails from Miss LJ requesting things!

  • logging in and updating you child’s profile on Brightwheel:

    • add a recent photo of your child’s face, if they do not already have one

    • add your own photos to account

    • ensure that all information is filled out, relevant, and correct.

2) Clothing:

  • Potty Training Classrooms: It is important that your child wear separates (no jumpers, rompers, or onesies) so that they can learn to undress and re-dress themselves as they use the potty! This is an important lesson in independence.

  • Layers for the Weather: We also ask that your child have layers so that they can enjoy their time outside when it is cooler in the mornings and warmer in the afternoons!


And with that we thank you again for being a part of our amazing community!

Love,

The Common Ground Team
