Caterpillar Classroom News This week the caterpillars had fun pretending to be cowgirls and boys! We decorated vests, cowboy hats and boots. We found a big red barn in our room which we used as a puppet stage for farm animals. We played pin the bow on the horse and read "She'll be Coming Around the Mountain. " We measured and scooped oats in our sensory table. We also measured, mixed and ate trail mix and drank cactus juice (Lemon lime soda and sherbet )! We welcomed Sawyer to our class and celebrated Daisy's birthday! Next week we blast off to space!

Date(s) requesting for vacation: ___________________________________________ VACATION DAYS/ EXTENDED LEAVE POLICY: Parents will receive five (5) days of vacation after six months of continuous care at PDO. Vacation days will renew each year on January 1st. You are not required to pay for these days. A Vacation Day Request Form must be filled out and turned into the office one week prior to requesting vacation days. These forms can be found in the office. In the event of an extended leave of absence (a period greater than two weeks), families will forfeit their 5 days of vacation. If you choose to have your child take an unpaid leave of absence (i.e. summer vacation) you will then run the risk of losing your child’s spot in the classroom. Unpaid spots will not be held throughout the summer or any other extended period. We cannot guarantee that there will be availability in your child’s classroom after an unpaid leave of absence. If you do not want to risk losing your child’s spot, you are responsible for paying tuition during the leave of absence whether your child attends the center or not. Families that are on a wait list or wish to enroll will fill unpaid spots in classrooms. Families returning and re-enrolling after an extended leave of absence are required to pay a discounted registration fee of $25 upon re-enrollment. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For office use only: Received: __________________________________ Approved: _________________________________
