Weekly Summer Email
July 12th – 16th, 2021
It was a hot week in Woodbridge, but we managed to have fun in the sun–and in the shade! This was sports week, and our students played dodge ball, soccer, a bit of basketball, and ran around on the field in our sprinkler. Students in first grade and up went on a field trip to Locust Shade park to play mini-golf–a few intrepid golfers made holes-in-one!
Next week is Science Week, and we’ll do experiments, have a nature scavenger hunt, and make oobleck. We do not have a field trip scheduled, but instead we’ll have a guest teacher in on Wednesday who will make special slime in the science lab with each class.
Remember that Mondays are water play days for elementary students, and Wednesdays are for preschoolers and Jr K students!
In this email each week, you’ll find need-to-know information and camp calendars below.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
Mondays are Water Play Days for our campers in Kinder-middle school! Please be sure to send them to school with a bathing suit, towel, and shoes that can get wet. Don’t forget to include a wet bag to send their items home in! Please label all items with your child’s name.
Preschoolers (ages 2-4) will have their water play day on Wednesday.
Please be advised that in order to administer sunscreen, we must have written permission from a parent. You’ll find the form below.
Below you’ll find some important information about our Summer Enrichment Program:
According to VA regulations, all children ages 5 and up must wear a mask at school and camp. Teachers and school staff must also wear a mask at all times indoors, regardless of vaccination status. We ask that you send your children to school and camp wearing a mask, and with an extra in their bag.
Drop off time for preschool remains the same as always–8:30 am. However, preschoolers may now be dropped off at the front door! Pickup time is 3:00 pm, also at the front door.
Drop off for our elementary and middle campers is at 9 am at the side door. You’ll see an attendant there between 8:55 and 9:15 am. Pickup for our campers is 4:00 pm. After 4:15, we close the door and late campers go to after care. After care campers may be picked up at the front door, or from the playground if they are outside.
Each morning, our elementary and middle students will work on enrichment and advancement in language arts and math. In the afternoons, we’ll have water play (every Monday for elementary, Wednesday for preschool) and field trips (grades 1 and above), arts and crafts, cooking projects, and lots of fun on our playground and in our gym. Our preschoolers will also follow our themes, and will have water days as well. You child’s teacher will let you know which days those will be.
Our camp calendars will be included in the email each week. Please note that activities and field trips are subject to change, depending on weather and health conditions.
Each week, you’ll find our lunch menu below, as well as our lunch packet. Lunches should be purchased in advance, and may be purchased in quantities from 10 lunches to the full month. For elementary and middle students, tuition is due each Monday for the week, and lunches may be paid at that time as well. Payment can be made through automatic withdrawal or by check or credit/debit card.
