Today we practiced our first Lockdown Drill with our Cohort A students and our local Inwood Police Officers joined us for the drill! Our Kindergarten students were greeted after the drill by one of our Officers who told all students what a great job they did! Students were prepared and quiet. Students know this drill is to ensure the safety of everyone in our building! Both our hybrid and remote students knew what to do for this drill. Great job, Kindergarten!

We are thankful to you! Wishing all of our community a safe and healthy Thanksgiving. Please see latest newsletter here: https://www.smore.com/cya8k Dr. Pedersen

Dear Families, The children at the Early Childhood Center #4 School are always working on understanding their feelings. Within our SEL Program, we focus on recognizing the feelings of others. We call this empathy. For the months of December and January, we will be collecting BRAND NEW (not used) hats, gloves and mittens for students who are in need of warm garments for the cold days ahead. There is a “Mitten Tree” display inside our building where all donations will be placed. We know the students have big hearts…let’s share the gift of love! If your child is a remote student and you wish to donate, please call our main office at 516-812-7555 to schedule a drop off time. . . Queridos Familias, Los niños de la Escuela número cuatro del centro de primera infancia siempre están trabajando para comprender sus sentimientos.

Para los meses de Diciembre y Enero, estaremos recolectando sombreros, guantes y mitones para los estudiantes que necesitan ropa abrigada NUEVO (no utilizado) para los días fríos que se avecinan. Hay un cartel de "Árbol de Guantes" adentro del jardín de infantes edificio donde se van a colocar todas las donaciones. Sabemos que los estudiantes tienen un gran corazón... compartamos el regalo del amor! Si su hijo/a es un estudiante remoto y desea donar, llame a nuestra oficina principal 516-812-7555 para programar una hora de entrega.

Dear Families, Today we practiced our lockdown drill. A lockdown is when each class stays quiet and out of sight in a locked classroom. Children and staff in the hallway go to the nearest secure location. This drill ensures safety for our children in case there is presence of an intruder. Our students did a fantastic job! Please review the importance of these drills with your children. Queridas familias, Hoy practicamos nuestro simulacro de encierro. Un encierro es cuando cada clase se mantiene en silencio y fuera de la vista en un aula cerrada. Los niños y el Personal en el pasillo van a la habitación más cercana. Este simulacro garantiza la seguridad de nuestros niños en caso de la presencia de un intruso. ¡Nuestros estudiantes hicieron un trabajo fantástico! Repase la importancia de estos ejercicios con sus hijo/as.
