Dear Panda Two Families,
We hope all of the fathers had a nice Father’s Day last month, and that everyone enjoys a fun and safe Fourth of July weekend!
Reminders
The first full week of the month (July 5th – July 9th) will be a short one, as Sunset Academy will be closed on Monday, July 5th, in observance of Independence Day, and will close early, at 4:30PM, on Friday, July 9th, for staff training. Please make arrangements for your child(ren) to be picked up early on the 9th, as our staff will not be available after 4:30PM that day. Thank you in advance!
Sunset Academy is extending its hours of operation! Beginning Tuesday, July 6th, the school will open at 7:30AM and close at 5:30PM. Please be advised, that while the hours of operation are extending, the 9-hour-per-day maximum allowance for attendance (as outlined on Page 9 of the Parent Handbook) remains the same. Please be mindful of this, as it directly impacts our ability to maintain safe and legal teacher-to-child ratios in our classrooms.
July wipes are due: We kindly ask that you please provide a package of 200 wipes or more for your child at the beginning of each month. Thank you!
Classroom Updates
We will be welcoming a new friend, Caison, to the Panda Two Room this month. Caison and his family are new to Sunset Academy, so please join us in welcoming them to the family.
Splash Day
Weather permitting, we will continue to host Splash Day every Friday, during our regularly scheduled outdoor time (from 10:15A to 11:15AM), for the remainder of the summer. Please bring your child to school dressed in their swimsuit and water shoes. Also, please provide a towel and a change of clothing, including socks and shoes, for your child to change into afterward.
