• HOLIDAY – Pooh Corner’s holiday schedule will be as follows: Pooh Corner will be closed on Thursday, November 26th for Thanksgiving. We will be OPEN all day on Friday, November 27th. Pooh Corner will close at 2:00 on Thursday, December 24th and will be closed all day on Friday, December 25th for the Christmas holiday. Pooh Corner will close at 2:00 on Thursday, December 31st and will be closed all day on Friday, January 1st for the New Year’s holiday.
• NEW CHILDREN – We have several new children to introduce who joined us in September. Niko Cavanaugh was new to the Infant class and his brother, Ian, was new to the Bumble Bee class. Vera Rackley and Andre Barsalou were new to the Toddler class. Grace Cumming was new to the Tabby Cat class. Makenzie Bogar and Lily Jones were new to the School Age Virtual Learning class. We would like to welcome these children and their families to Pooh Corner Center.
• PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES – We have set aside times for Parent/Teacher Conferences on October 27th, 28th, and 29th between 12:15 and 1:30. If you would like to schedule a conference with your child’s teacher, please see Mrs. Darlene.
• SCHOOL AGE REPORT – School has begun, and we are all starting to adjust to our new schedules. For our virtual learners, we have multiple teachers in our two rooms so that we can provide assistance as needed. Our internet service has been updated, and we have more than enough bandwidth for all virtual learners to access their meetings and assignments. There have been a few issues with Zoom, and the Chromebooks occasionally misbehave, but we are quickly becoming experts at troubleshooting these problems. Our goal every day is to complete all assignments so your child won’t have to finish anything at home. For those who are attending face-to-face school, we are available to offer homework assistance as needed. Please let us know if you would like us to work with your child after school. Hanover Schools will have an early release on October 12th. ($12.00 extra for Face to Face children.)
• FALL PICTURES – Southern Smiles Photography will be here on October 9th from 9-11a.m. to take Fall pictures of the children. All infants, toddlers, and preschoolers present that day will be photographed. Virtual school-age children who are here that day must sign up to have pictures taken. Please watch for a sign-up sheet as the date approaches.
