    Friday Update: We are OPEN for classes today!

    With temperatures expected to be at or stay below 90 degrees, we will proceed with classes as scheduled. The AC is on, and we will adjust the pace of activities to accommodate the heat.

    Important Reminders:

    • Ensure your child stays hydrated throughout the day.
    • Avoid having them drink a large glass of water right before class to prevent upset stomachs.
    • Please skip fruit juices as they can cause stomach issues when combined with heat and physical activity.

    Stay cool and see you in class!

    SATURDAY – For those playing paintball. Reminder to be at the field by 9 am. If you are car pooling meet at the school by 8 am. It’s going to be a beautiful day to sling some paint!
