Solar Eclipse
On Monday, April 8th, Denver will experience a partial (65%) solar eclipse. The ELC students will not be going outside between 11am and 2pm, because of the eclipse. We plan to keep students occupied with indoor activities during this time, so we help protect the kids' vision as best we can. Trying to tell children under 5 to keep special glasses on while outside would be a challenge. If you choose to take your child out of school to experience the eclipse, under your supervision, please be sure to communicate with your child's teachers.
Changing Seasons
As the weather gets warmer, please make sure your child's clothes are suitable for the weather. For the girls, please have them wear shorts underneath their dresses. No flip-flops, unless they have a strap in the back to hold them on your child's feet. Tennis shoes are always preferred, because when the weather is nice, we do like taking the kids for walks, and we want the kids to be active outside. Keep in mind that sunscreen is applied to all exposed skin prior to the students going outside each time. This is a State Licensing requirement (Department of Early Childhood, 2.221).
Drop-Off and Pick-Up Reminder
Just want to remind everyone that the doors are computer locked and unlocked each day. The doors are not unlocked until the computer clock says 7:30am or 3:15pm, and the doors are automatically locked as soon as the clock says 8:45am and 5:30pm. Please try to have your children here before 8:45am. We have this time set, so that the students have some time to settle into their classrooms prior to the start of circle time or other structured activities.
