Announcements

Dear Parents,
 
As we continue to plan for our fall opening, we are reaching out with additional information:

Monday, September 9 is the first day of school. The first few sessions for some of our classes will be somewhat abbreviated in order to facilitate a smooth transition into school. With this Staggered Schedule, our hope is that the children experience a smooth adjustment. For those children who may struggle during those beginning days, requiring a shorter schedule, please be patient with us if you receive a call from your child’s teacher asking for you to pick them up earlier than the scheduled pick-up time. Some children may require a bit more of a transition than the schedule allows for.
 
Before and After Care will begin the week of September 16. REMINDER: If you indicated on the registration form that you were interested in this program and there has been a change to your needs, or you have yet to communicate your needs for this program with us, please let us know as soon as possible what your needs are (i.e. Before and/or After Care and which days) so that we may plan accordingly.

The School Calendar has been updated. 
 
Additionally, we are sharing our 2024-2025 Parent Guide with you. This document contains essential information and will answer many of your questions regarding school procedures. Please review it in its entirety and be sure to print out, sign and return the final page to us. 

Finally, in the event that you have not had a chance to fill/download/print them out yet, we have included the previously sent documentation once again below:

Dismissal Authorization Form
Child Intake Form
Medical Form
 
We hope you continue to enjoy your summer and look forward to being in touch. If you have any questions, please call the Nursery School office at (914) 235-2700 x250. We look forward to greeting you and your child in September. Please see below for detailed information of important upcoming events...

Enjoy the summer!

Parent Orientation and Curriculum Presentation
Thursday, September 5 at 7:15pm

Mark your calendars for this important evening when you will hear essential information regarding your child's school year. Following the general meeting, parents will be dismissed to their children's respective classrooms for a presentation by the teachers. They will share an overview of the program and discuss specific learning experiences, goals and important logistics for your child's class. At least one parent must attend, so please be sure to mark your calendars for Thursday, Sept. 5 at 7:15pm for our Parent Orientation and Curriculum Presentation. 

Beginning to Connect: Classroom Peek and Communal Shabbat Dinner Friday, September 6

Teachers will be reaching out to schedule a time slot between 4:30pm and 5:15pm for you to come into the school building for a Classroom Peek . You and your child will be able to visit the classroom, select a cubby and gain some familiarity with the environment. These visits will be brief and in small groups.

After the Classroom Peek, families are invited to join us for an optional Nursery School Communal Shabbat Event, from 5:30pm - 7pm, which will include a musical shabbat experience followed by dinner in our outdoor tent. Children will have the opportunity to play on the playground between the Classroom Peek and the Shabbat event. Further details to follow, but be sure to mark your calendar for Friday, September 6.
