We will have normal, crazy, fun class at Parkside on Thurs, 6/23
A couple of announcements:
As you may have noticed on Monday, I have developed a pretty bad cough and am feeling a bit low on energy. HOWEVER, I want you all to know(and forgot to mention Monday) that I checked with my M.D. and was assured that viruses are only contagious for the first couple of days(which was last weekend for me) and mostly even pre-symptoms. I just want to reassure you that I would never put your kids or you in harms' way! I really don't want to have to cancel class since we've had a few "park days" lately.
On that note, this semester has been much better in terms of only a few "cancelled" classes last minute and only a handful of necessary planned park trips. I was feeling encouraged that Parkside's principal was catching on. However, as some of you know, I've recently learned that Lynn Gurnee (Parkside's principal) will be retiring and a new principal will be starting when they return to school Aug. 1st. Unfortunately, due to the fact that we are at Parkside's mercy since they share the room with us for free, it seems that next week will have to be the last week of classes until after the summer break (starting back up Aug. 29th.)
It makes me very disappointed just as I was last summer, with the last minute realization that we cannot have summer classes. I love the freedom of being outside more in the summer and having free reign of the playgrounds :) However, I'm looking forward to beginning a positive relationship with the new principal and hopefully once again having continuity of classes, hopefully into next summer! I apologize for this change since we all were planning on class through July. Unfortunatley, because of the guidelines of the class, it doesn't suffice to have class at a park "every class." However, I will post a park schedule for the group of you to continue to socialize until class resumes at the end of August.
I hope to see you Thursday and we'll have a great last week next (June 27-July1)week!
