Mrs. Gute's Extended DayCare Connection

FYI
On November 25th, next Wednesday, school will be dismissed at 11:30am. EDC will only be open for the am session.
I am still trying to get the buzzer on the outside door fixed. It sure seems like an easy thing to do,but I guess there is more to it. So until its fixed I guess you will have to continue knocking on the window. As you can see the children have been told not to open the door for anyone. Which really is a good thing although I can understand how frustrating it must be when your own children ignore you or 10 kids stand there and still don't tell me someone is at the door.
Mr Barski said the light was on outside but
I noticed tonight it wasnt so I will be taking to him tomorrow about it.

I hope everyone has a great holiday!

Just wanted to give everyone a little update on tomorrow's halloween party in the gym. The party starts at 3:00 and continues until 5:00. I have asked Dr. Stritch if we can use the library instead of the EDC room. He agreed with me that it would rather difficult to keep the children that are not attending from going into the gym especially since there are no doors. When you come to pick up your child/children from EDC please come to the library.
I am going to either get dunkin donuts or maybe pizza and cans of pop and candy so we can also have a PARTY.

Maybe not quite as festive but there is nothing like all the donuts and pop you can drink to put a smile on a kids face.

As usual we will be trick or treating on halloween. Everyone including me has a great time. We usually leave around 3 and are back around 4. Once again we will be walking down the street surrounding the school and the football field so if you come for your child and we are not in school you will see us walking. I can't leave anyone in the classroom alone so if you are not at school to pick up your child by 3 they will be walking with us. The kids are so anxious to get going its hard enough to make them wait untill 3..
I need kelly with me or I would let her stay behind. I hope everyone understands.

Just a quick note to let all the parents, who come to EDC after school, know. I do have, (hopefully), a quiet room, that the children can use to get their homework done. I am able to use the speech room. It's down the hall from my room. Kelly usually comes after school, around 3:00 in the afternoon, so she'll go in. Sometimes a few of them aren't real serious about doing their homework so she'll stick around to keep it quiet or offer help if they need it. The kindergarten and first graders can usually wait 'til there are fewer kids, usually around 4 and then I'll help them in the EDC room. Please keep in mind I have no way of knowing if they have homework. It's up to them to tell me.

I'm still working on keeping the shoes on. It's like a virus, it just won't go away!
Have a great weekend,
Mrs Gute

If anyone needs to get a hold of me or their child before or after school please feel free to call into the EDC room . You will need to dial the school phone number 425-1656 and then punch in my ext. 156. It may take quite a few rings, for some reason it takes an extremely long time but someone will pick it up. If you still can't get through and it is an emergency call the rectory the number is 422-2400 tell the receptionist it is an emergency. Someone will come to school and tell me.
We are all enjoying the new gym floor. Sorry about all the dirty socks. It appears that the number one thing to do after school is to take off your shoes and slide on the gym floor. Actually I tried it and it is a lot of fun.

Hope you have a great week,
Mrs. Gute

I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer. I certainly did. I reaquainted myself with my neighborhood. My two new grandsons kept me outside pushing a stroller all summer. It was one of my best summers!

Yesterday I found out that we will be released from school at 11:30 on Friday August 29th. Edc will be open in the morning at 6:30 as usual.
Just a reminder to everyone, If your child wishes, they can change their clothes after school, if they'd like to. It's very hot and they might be more comfortable in play clothes.

Have a great holiday weekend and see you on Tuesday, September 5th
