Summertime

Hi everyone! It's summer and hopefully everyone is enjoying all this lovely weather. We had such a great school end of the year trip this year! Thanks to everyone who came and made it such a joy to camp together! If you didn't make it this year we sure hope you will think ahead for next year's trip. Please look for your final aftercare and/or lunch bills in the mail. Depending on your aftercare account status, there may be an important letter attached to your bill for you to read. If your bill is less than $50 you will only receive a bill. If you're bill is more than $50 but you have been making regular payments throughout the school year yours is just a reminder to pay down your account before school begins. *If your bill is more than $50 and you have not been making regular payments or have violated a previously signed payment agreement- please read your letter carefully. You will not have access to aftercare until payments have been brought to current status. If you have interest in a possible work trade for some of your bill please email us at trilliumcs@gmail.com. There are many projects happening over the summer and we need people power. PLease include your phone number in the email. Thanks! The front bulletin board at the school has information about summer activities, including camps, family events and free lunch sites for kids. Come check it out. The office will be closed for regular hours from July 2-August 13, however we will be checking mail, messages, emails and such. You can certainly contact us if needed. If for any reason you are not sending your child to Trillium in the fall- PLEASE LET US KNOW ASAP. We have quite a long waiting list for Sarah's class and only one opening in Aly's class. It is so difficult for students to miss the first day of school, so please let us fill a space if you are not going to use it. Thank you. Some changes for next year: Kindergarden will be dismissed at 2:00. There will be K aftercare beginning at that time. Katie is moving into the former Magic Room and Aftercare is moving in to Katie's room. (This is one of the projects that could use people power.) Budget cuts are hitting all the school hard. Due to reductions in supplementary staff time we will be asking for 2 hours a month of volunteer time from each family. This does not have to be during school hours- there are plenty of behind the scenes jobs that make a huge difference. As always, financial contributions are accepted if your time is unavailable. School will begin on August 27 at 9:00 sharp! As usual, we will host a family potluck lunch that day from 1:00 - 3:00 for families to meet and greet, tour classrooms, hear about exciting events and fill out required paperwork. We hope you will be able to join us. Have a great summer!
