It is definitely summer time. It looks like the hot weather is here to stay. We are halfway through the summer and still have many fun-filled activities planned. We hope that you have had the chance to get outside and enjoy the sunshine.

Summer swim lessons, for children ages 3 (must be completely potty-trained; no pull-ups or diapers) to 12 years, are July 9 to July 19, Monday through Thursday, from noon to 12:30 P.M. for children in Transition and Preschool and from 12:30 P.M. to 1 P.M. for School-age children. An email has gone out with the link and registrations are due by July 5. There are only a few spots left. Once you have registered your child, email Ms. Dawn to let her know.

Please make sure you are checking the “Where We Are Board” each day to see where your child’s group is. The children do go for walks in the morning and afternoon. The groups are required to be back by 4 P.M. in the afternoon. However, if you require your child to be at the center to be picked up before this time, please notify your child’s teacher that morning, so we can have them stay back with another group. Also, please note that some groups go for early morning walks and they leave the building around 9:30 A.M. Please plan accordingly.

Please notify us if you will be planning a vacation and your child will not be in attendance at the center. Reminder, you must pay in advance any tuitions due during your time off, so that you are not assessed a $10 late payment fee. If you have any questions about vacation time or how to figure tuition, please see Dawn. Only full-time contracted families are eligible for vacation time.

Annual Food Program forms will be going the week of July 2. ALL families are required to have a form on file, even if you do not qualify. You will simply need to fill the top of the form and then sign & date the form. All summer enrollment forms must be turned in by Monday, July 16. All fall semester forms must be turned in by Wednesday, August 22. This also includes the required special request form for food allergies and milk substitutions. Questions see Dawn or Monica.

Finally, I will be out of the office on July 9, 10 & 11. If you have any questions, during these times, please see Monica or the lead teachers.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at 402-554-4936, e-mail me at dhove@unomaha.edu or stop by my office.

Until next month…
“Take some time and make summer time memories! Go run through the sprinkler with your child or plan a day at the park. There are so many summer activities that you can do.”
