First Week of School Updates!

Happy First Week of School! It has been an absolute JOY to see all of the returning sweet peas and families as well as welcome all of our new friends to the Lupine Lane Family!

Over the school year, I will be posting here, our main blog, with school updates often. This space will serve as a constant source of communication from me. I will include information about curriculum, link to secure class pages and provide updates on the permanent campus.

The past two days have been a magical beginning in the Cottage and the Expansion! We have doubled in size since the end of last year and worked this summer with our incredible contractors, Fine Line Commercial, and the owners of the land that the Cottage occupies to adapt an additional 2000 square feet of space in the building adjacent to the Cottage while we await our permanent facility on Highlands. The building is coming along nicely! I went to get a few things taken care of with our new van yesterday and dropped by to take a video of the progress.

Here is a snapshot of the progress from September 4th, 2013:

After the Expansion adaptions were completed on Tuesday, August 27th, the entire Lupine Lane Staff worked diligently moving boxes, building shelves, unpacking supplies and materials, organizing and decorating to prepare for a wonderful Orientation on August 29th. Everyone did a fantastic job creating a warm, welcoming environment for all of the little loves who excitedly came to meet their teachers, new friends and see their classes.

Now, we are working diligently still to get many new aspects integrated into our school. Three things that I will be updating on again in the next couple of days are:

–  Parent logins for secure class pages and individual online journals

–  Mobile device sign in/sign out for drop off and pick up

–  After School Classes

In the meantime, here are a few important reminders:

–  We need all enrollment paperwork turned into the main office as soon as possible.

–  Please read our 2013-2014 Family Handbook in its entirety.

–  Please print our 2013-2014 Year-at-a-Glance Calendar to stay informed.

We are elated for all of the learning, laughter and love that will occur over this next school year! What a wonderful first couple of days! More to come soon!
