Dear CCP Family,
Welcome February! It has been a super busy week, but wanted to get this note to you with a few reminders.
Class placements went out this week by email. I know a few of you were placed in second choice classes. We will try to move you if there are changes. Thanks for your understanding & patience.
SUPPLY FEES for 2025-26 are due by Friday, Feb. 14. This fee secures your spot in the class for next year. Please pay your fees on time or let us know if your plans have changed. Thank you!
FAMILY VALENTINE’S DANCE - A favorite event !! Friday, Feb. 7 from 6:00-7:30pm in Ascension Hall. Everyone is invited! People have asked what to wear…whatever you like! Some wear jeans and others wear velvet and sparkles…anything in between is OK! Keep in mind, this is a kid-friendly, family event and we sincerely appreciate our PAC for taking the lead on this.
VALENTINE’S DAY - Please follow your teachers’ instructions about when/how to celebrate in your child’s class.
WANT TO SERVE ON THE PRESCHOOL ADVISORY COMMITTEE next year? - We would love to have you join us! Your service would be sincerely appreciated AND it's a great opportunity to get to know other preschool parents. If you’re interested, please contact Jennifer Holwell, jennmeeks1@gmail.com, or Ashton Blue, ashton.lewis@richmond.edu. Thanks for your consideration!
Please remember we are closed on Friday, 2/14 and Monday, 2/17 for a long weekend. The teachers will have a workday to prepare for upcoming March conferences.
In CONSCIOUS DISCIPLINE, Dr. Becky Bailey reminds us, "Allowing children to reflect on their choices rather than judging, placing guilt, blaming, or rescuing them gives children access to the internal feedback necessary for them to take responsibility for their actions and make better choices in the future." So not in the heat of the moment, but when things are calm, talk with your child about the choice and what happened. Leave out any judgment or blame. Allow your child to come to a conclusion about the choice. Brainstorm different possible choices that could be used next time.
I wish you well,
Debbie
