Dear Satori Staff and Families:
Beginning November 3rd, the gate off of the North parking lot at the Central Building is open from 7:30 - 9:15 a.m., 12:15 – 1:15 p.m., 2:15 - 3:15 p.m. At all other times, the gate will be locked and entrance will be through the office only.
Satori is closed on Tuesday, November 11 in honor of Veterans Day. We do not offer daycare.
Our second Family Forum is on Wednesday evening, November 19 in the multipurpose room at the Elementary Building. Mary Vuke will be addressing the theory of Multiple Intelligences and how we apply it to our everyday teaching. It’s lots of fun and very informative!
Please mark your calendar to join us for our Thanksgiving Feast on Wednesday, November 26 from 11:30 a.m. – 12:45 p.m. Every child is asked to bring in a small baggie of cut-up vegetables, herbs, lentils, etc. to add to the soup caldron. We serve a vegetarian-based soup so please do not bring in chicken or beef bouillon. All classes will prepare a dish to accompany our traditional stone soup. Please check with individual teachers or your child to find out what his/her class is preparing for the Feast. Teachers appreciate parent help on their “cooking day.” Volunteers are needed at both buildings to help with set up and clean up on Wednesday. Satori is closed for Thanksgiving on Thursday and Friday, November 27 and 28.
Our supply of extra clothing (at the Central building) is depleted. If your child wore clothing home that we provided, please wash and return those items.
It’s cool in the morning and late afternoon. Please send a jacket or sweater, labeled with your child’s name, for morning extended care or for outside play during the last hour of extended care.
Whenever a class has an upcoming field trip, there will be a bright yellow sign on the classroom door reminding families to sign the permission form that is in a binder next to the computers in the multipurpose room.
