Good Afternoon!

*Now that winter has arrived, we would like to remind you of our winter weather closing policy. I have included it below along with the instructions on how to sign up for the text service. We tested the system today, so if you did not receive the message, please follow the instructions to be added to the service. Thank you!

WEATHER POLICY

Wee Friends recognizes that delays and closings are horribly inconvenient. However, we balance that with the safety of getting our staff to work and being able to get the street, sidewalks and stairs cleared for our clients. Here are some general guidelines:

· If the public schools are closed due to road conditions, plan on a MINIMUM of a 10:00 delayed opening.

· As a general rule, we DO NOT close or delay for temperature only public school closings since our children are not bussed. However, it doesn’t take much snow combined with frigid temperatures to make clearing sidewalks dangerous for our staff in the early hours of the morning so a delay would make sense in those instances.

· I will announce delays/closings by 7:15 in the morning via our text service.

· A delay may turn into a close after 7:15, if I find that our staff cannot get in to work. Please keep in mind, it is really hard to determine how the roads will be when it is still dark and clearing has not begun.

All closings and delays will be communicated through the text service alone.

To sign up for text notification for immediate communication of important or emergency information (closings, etc.).

Today we used our big plastic blocks and snowballs to make a game. We tossed our snowballs into the plastic blocks to work on our hand-eye coordination skills. We either stood on the side or at the edge of the carpet to see if we could toss them in from shorter and longer distances.

Emma and Sophia enjoyed finger painting this morning. With this activity they used the primary colors red, blue and yellow to explore making new colors on their papers. Sophia made lines, a pre writing skill on her paper using her pointer finger. Emma said, “I made a rainbow with my colors.”
