Spring Has Sprung On The Farm!

Kids, lambs, piglets, goslings, ducklings, chicks, bunnies, and kittens have arrived on Real Life Farm!

 

The children are enjoying their trips back to the farm to see all the new arrivals! Please check your child’s rubber farm boots to make sure they still fit. They may have outgrown them over the winter!
 

April Showers Bring May Flowers ...
And MUD Back On The Farm!

​

All winter boots and clothing can go home. Please double check your child’s spare clothes they keep in their classrooms to make sure they fit. 

  I-55 Book Fair

​

Thank you parents for supporting our Book Fair this year. We sold over $5,000 worth of books and earned over $2,000 in book bucks!

 

We hope you enjoy reading all the wonderful books with your children! Also, a big thank you to all our families for all the coins you brought in… we raised over $1,300 in “Coins for Classrooms!” That’s a lot of change!

 

The teachers will use this money to replenish their classroom libraries, materials and supplies! 

Afternoon Pick-Up

 

With the weather starting to warm up, the children will be outside on the playgrounds for a longer period of time in the afternoons. For the safety of our children please do not enter the playgrounds through the gates. The gates must remain closed and locked. Also, please do not exit through the gates.

 

Always remember to sign out your child on the sign out board before leaving each day. Parents must check out with their child’s classroom teacher when picking up in the afternoons, so the teachers know your child has safely left with you.

 

Also, for the safety and security of all please remember to NOT let someone in behind you. Every family has their own door code and are required to use it to enter our building. 

Tornado Shelter

​

Real Life has storm shelters in both buildings. In the event of severe weather the children will be led safely down to Basement B to wait until an all clear bulletin is issued. We will be having a few “Severe Weather Drills” during the month of April.  

Proper Shoes Please!

​

We require children to wear close toe shoes for playing on the playground equipment and running on the playground. Tennis shoes are the best for the school playgrounds. Flip flops and sandals are unsafe to climb, run, and walk in. If your child wears crocs they must have a strap at the back.

 

For the safety of our children we will not allow them to play on the playground wearing anything but a closed toe shoe. Children also must have rubber boots for the farm!
