Julia's Garden Newsletter: Book Drive Count, May Parent Portal Calendars Up, FINAL PTA MEETING MAY 8TH, Revised Parent Handbook Release, Last Day of School Schedule Reminder and More!

​Good day, Garden Families!


Parent Orientation Recap 📕
Last night’s parent orientation night was a great success, thank you to all returning parents for joining us. If you missed the evening, we have saved a red orientation folder for you with important information for the year ahead.  It will be coming home in your child’s JG bag this week, please put it in a safe place to use as a reference.

Book Drive Results 🍕
We are giving families until Monday to turn in their books so we can finalize our count.  There is discrepancy between our count and the number of books purchased on your House Mamas' Amazon lists.  We can ONLY count the books that are physically on campus so . . . if you want to win … TURN IN YOUR BOOKS.  The suspense is killing us all but hang tight pizza party people, the end is near!

May Calendars 🗓
May calendars are up!  Please reference the Parent Portal to see what your child’s class is engaging in during our last month of school.

PTA ELECTION NIGHT, MAY 8th @ 6:30 PM 🙋🏻‍♀️
If you ever planned to come to a PTA meeting, this is the one to attend.  It will be held in Palazzo and the Parent Education Committee is providing refreshments.  Expect to hear from current PTA Committee Heads this week encouraging you to come out and represent the sub-committee(s) you marked interest in.  This is the night we establish who’s in charge for the 2019/2020 school year, a fun and exciting night you won’t want to miss. Be a part of the action, we will see you on Wednesday! 

Parent Handbook 👪
Our parent handbook is undergoing revisions for the 2019/2020 school year.  Be on the lookout for an email indicating updated sections in the coming weeks.

Birthdays 🎈
Happy birthday this month to Veronica in the Hay House on May 5th, Edith in Casa on the 8th, Violet in Main on the 20th and Calder in the YCC on the 24th.  Teacher birthdays are Ms. Skylar (21!!) on the 12th and Ms. Annie on the 21st.  Happiest of birthdays to all of our May babies!

Last Day of School, May 23rd 🎶
Just a reminder our last day of school has an early dismissal schedule. Please reference the Parent Portal to see when you child’s class lets out and defer to your child’s lead guide on what this looks like for your class. After enjoying naptime at home, everyone will meet up at Cosmic Coffee & Beer for an off-campus community singalong celebration with Ms. Natalie.  We can’t wait to close out this stellar year together!

Summer School ☀️
If you are participating in our summer program, expect a welcome letter and supply list from your child’s guide to arrive in your inbox by May 30th.  Get ready for fun in the sun, summer schoolers!!

Have a great weekend!
