Dear Lower School Parents,
I hope you are enjoying a wonderful summer and taking the time to be lazy before school begins
August 11.I have taken some time off to visit family and friends and I'm enjoying having time to read.
But I have also been very busy preparing for the upcoming year.I have noted below some information
to keep you updated before August.
We will continue to offer Extended Day Care for any Lower School student who needs to stay after
their school day ends.Extended Day runs until 5:30 p. m.under the direction of one of our teachers,
Becky Hahn with assistance from two other teachers.We will also continue to offer Homework Hour
for 1st～5th graders.Debbie Green will run the 1st～3rd grade hour and Dale Cofield will run the 4th
an 5th grade hour.
I will also be hosting Lower School coffees throughout the year for anyone who would like to come
and visit.The coffees will be at 8:00 a. m.and will not have an agenda.Our first coffee will be held in the
Lower School Turner Library on Wednesday, September 15th.
The teachers are already missing their students and have started returning to their classrooms to
prepare for the upcoming year.And Mr.Charles has finished cleaning and polishing our building.The halls
are bare but soon they will be bright and cheerful as we prepare for the children.
Please watch for a letter from your child's new teacher giving details about the upcoming year.In the
meantime you can access the Valwood web page and find the summer reading assignments for 3rd～5th
graders. Additionally, this year all information regarding the beginning of the 2010～2011 school year
