Another Autumn Begins!

It's hard to believe that summer is over- it definitely flew by for everyone here at Oakhurst CDC! School is back in session for the older kids, kindergarten has started for our former Pre-K students, and the younger children at the center are moving up to their new classes as well. It's a big time of transition for everyone, which can be especially hard on younger ones, so be prepared for some tears or hesitation on occasion! Just remember our little saying- "Even if your child is tearful, keep the good-bye short and cheerful!" Most children calm down within minutes of being dropped off!

As the school year starts, here are a few reminders for parents from the staff at Oakhurst:

• All classes are now meeting in Ms. Tiffany's room in the mornings for drop-off. This is the first door on your left upstairs.
• Kanawha County Pre-K will begin Wednesday, August 25th at 8:30 a.m. KCS Pre-K will run from 8:30 to 12:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Daycare will be available before Pre-K, after Pre-K, and on Fridays for those families who have registered. Please remember that on Kanawha County Pre-K days, tardies will be counted on your child's permanent record and that each child is allowed a certain number of excused absences per year. Ms. Dana can offer parents more information on the attendance policy as well.
• All schoolers who ride the van for morning drop off must be here no later than 7:05 a.m. This allows us time to drop children off at three schools in plenty of time. If a child arrives later than 7:05 a.m., his or her parents will be responsible for transporting their child to school.

Also, congratulations to Mrs. Haley- she was married this weekend! :)
