Greeting SELC PK Families,
Welcome to 2022! I hope everyone is enjoying the SNOW! While this week presented us with challenges and emotions we were all hoping were behind us, there were also 14 classrooms full of Eaglets busy with the hard work of play! Thank you for your continued trust in our efforts to keep all members of our SELC community healthy.
A FEW REMINDERS:
- PK teachers are Super Heroes. Thank you for being kind and patient as they monitor for symptoms and communicate with regarding sniffles, sneezes, coughs, and fevers. They are doing their part to slow the spread.
- Parking lot safety is still a top priority. Winter weather has arrived making it even more urgent for everyone to SLOW DOWN.
- In the event you need to contact the school with COVID related questions or information, please email Nurse Jen jmaier@enfieldschools.org and Jaclyn Valley at jvalley@enfieldschools.org to ensure that we are able to respond in a timely manner.
- There is no school on Monday January 17th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
