Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope that you have had an enjoyable summer. I’m very excited about the start of the new school year that is just a short two weeks away! To all of the new families who will be joining our wonderful school community: Welcome! To all of our returning families: I’m so pleased that you are back with us! I look forward greatly to partnering with all of you, the school Staff, the Board, and the Family Team for what is sure to be an incredible school year at the Child Discovery Center. We will be celebrating our Ten Year Anniversary as a public charter school!
I wish to extend an invitation to all families – new and returning – to our Parent and Student Orientation Event on Wednesday, September 2nd. If you have not already done so, please contact your child’s teacher or the school office (tel. 616-459-0330) to sign up for one of three times in the afternoon that the Orientation Event will be offered:
- 2:00 pm
- 4:00 pm
- 6:00 pm
We will have many important things to share with you at Orientation. Not everything is designed just for new families, so it’s important that returning families attend the Orientation as well!
We have been working hard this summer to make everything ready for the start of the new school year. I look forward to having you join us for the Parent and Student Orientation on Wednesday, September 2nd. Please bring with you the information requested by the Family Team (enclosed in this same mailing). New families, please be sure to bring to the Orientation any remaining enrollment forms and other docs. (e.g. immunization records).
Remember that the First Day of School is Tuesday, September 8. School starts at 8:15 a.m. and gets out at 3:10 p.m. Please contact the school office if you have any questions about enrollment, paperwork, or other important issues. Thank you very much. See you next week on the 2nd of September!
Sincerely,
David R Hill
Principal
