It’s Back to School TIME!

As we start winding down our Summer at Camp Halsey we are looking forward to our 34th school year!  We’ll see everyone here Tuesday, September 6th for our first day back to school.  Children are promoted throughout the year based on their age and developmental level.  If your child is being promoted for September, you should have already received the promotion certificate.

Annual $199 materials and supplies fee will be posted on your September statement.  If you reserved your child’s space in February/March with the Materials and Supplies fee deposit, the deposit will be credited to your account. If your child started this August or September, this fee will be waived (the fee is separate from the registration fee).  As indicated in the fee’s name, the funds that are generated are used to help purchase new materials and supplies for the children throughout the year.

General Mills Box Tops – Box Tops for Education:  Save your General Mills box tops!  We are collecting these near our sign in/out sheet in the office.  You can get these from products such as Cheerios, Nestle Juicy Juice, Huggies diapers, etc.  Every box top is worth points to convert into new toys and equipment.  Visit www.boxtops4education.com for more information.
