A warm welcome to all for the 2019-2020 school year! It's so great to be back and feel the excitement in each classroom as the children head back to another great year. The warm home environment you provide for your child and ongoing communication with us will ensure that your preschooler continues to grow into his or her own special person. We can’t wait to watch each child thrive this year!
Please take a look at reminders for the year below:
NURISH
September has been a busy month and Nurish will help us organize school happenings and stay in touch with other families/ teachers. Please take the time to download Nurish as we will be using it for events and teacher notifications going forward. Take a look at this parent manual if you are curious how to work the app or email carina with any questions. The first class with all of their families signed up will have a class PIZZA party!
SIGN IN & SIGN OUT
Every classroom has a sign-in/out sheet in the doorway. Please remember to sign your child in and out every day!
PARENTS PAGE
Classroom blogs will be sent to you every Friday at 6:00 PM from your child’s teachers. To log on to your classroom page please go to our parent’s page on our website. The password for your classroom is Buckling.
Follow your child’s classroom private Instagram account. Please let our teachers know if you have a different username than your name so they can accept your request
STROLLERS
Strollers left in the entryway or in the halls are a fire hazard and could lead to a violation from the Health Department, Buildings Department, or Fire Department. We cannot emphasize enough how important it is to keep walkways completely clear. Our students walk the halls and it’s imperative we keep a safe non-cluttered environment for them as they move from space to space. In addition, we have monthly fire-drills and strollers in the way could impede our exit from the building.
Stroller Policy Points
Strollers MUST be folded properly
Strollers must be compact, foldable umbrella types.
Bassinet Strollers are only allowed for infants 6 months and under.
Strollers must be hung on racks or placed flush against wall.
No floor space may be blocked by a stroller.
IMMUNIZATIONS AND STUDENT INFO
Every student must have a medical and information sheet in their file in order to come to school. Please make sure your child’s medicals and that we have a copy at the front desk. Please also notify the Admin team if you have moved or have a email you prefer to use.
*Flu Vaccine
Between July 1 and December 31, all children ages 6 months to 59 months must receive one dose of flu vaccine if they attend day care, Head Start, pre-K or nursery school.

CLASS SPOTLIGHT
The 2A class started our first week with a collaborative painting project while listening to soothing classical music. The music gave us an opportunity to work calmly and to focus on our work- it's amazing how music can greatly impact our mood and demeanor. Working together as a whole class promotes connections between new friends, positive social interactions, and allows children to learn different painting techniques from one another. We find that the children learn the most from each other!
EVENTS
The Separation Breakfast was a great success! It was so nice to share stories and tips on how to make transitioning easier. Please take a look at our upcoming events below and let us know if you’re interested in hosting an event or have any suggestions for a workshop. We would love to hear your ideas and always encourage parent involvement here at BMS!
