NEWS
Best wishes to our kindergarten-bound students!
August 16 will be the last day of attendance for our graduates who are moving on to kindergarten! Whether a child has been with us one year or five, it is a big transition for the school and family, and we will miss everyone as they move on in their educational careers!
The school will be closed Monday, August 19, and and Tuesday, August 20, as teachers attend professional development in preparation for the upcoming year. New families and children will begin their early childhood education journey with us on Wednesday, August 21, the start of our 2024-2025 school year.
Library Update
In June and July, ASR families participated in school-wide Summer Literacy Challenge. Each child received a book of their choice and a small prize for completing 15 literacy activities. Thanks to all of the families who participated!
Looking ahead to September, we would like to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month in partnership with one of our families. This could be a passive display of pictures celebrating your family’s Hispanic heritage or an in-person program or both! We strive to celebrate the identities and traditions of our enrolled families with our heritage celebrations, so if you are willing to partner it requires minimal time to do so. Please reach out to Sarah with questions or to volunteer at Simpson.962@osu.edu.
