Director Newsletter: April 2021

April Director Newsletter

Can you believe it, April is already here and spring is in the air.  

We are deeply saddened by the recent unfortunate event that happened at the Boulder King Soopers. We know this can create many emotions for both adults and children. Please use the links below for some resources provided by Boulder County:

Thank you to Michelle Rosinski, one of our wonderful parents for providing this link that provides opportunities for social/emotional support for children of all ages. https://chooselovemovement.org/?mc_cid=184f1c7fc5&mc_eid=746a575699 

As a reminder, we are having our staff meetings again on the 2nd Friday of each month. This is for staff training and development like we accomplished prior to COVID. We will be closing at 4:00 p.m. on those days. Look at the sign-in entrance for the dates.

Thank you to everybody who helped support Sunset Academy with our Spring Fundraiser. We truly appreciate all of the support. 

We are still seeing temperature changes from very cold to warm. Please ensure with our ever-changing weather that your child has appropriate clothing in their cubby so they are prepared for whatever the days bring.

Thank you, parents, for your precautions during this time keeping your child at home when sick or not feeling well. We know the extra stress this creates, but as you all know it is required to keep everybody safe and healthy. We truly appreciate you all.
