Dear Touchstone Families,

I am pleased to announce it is finally time for Priority Registration! Paperwork can be found in your child’s cubby. You will have the entire month of February to register for the 2019/2020 School Year before we open enrollment to outside families. We are also pleased to announce that we are taking registrations for Kindergarten as well. The $100 re-registration fee can be billed to your account, paid by check, cash, or card. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Admin Team.

This month Touchstone School will be taking part in a Helping Hearts campaign to focus on positive ways our students help out! Students will be coming home with a heart and more information. Your job is to help find a random act of kindness your child has taken part in and write it on the heart and return it to school with their teacher. The hearts will be collected all month long and displayed on the bulletin board in the entryway for everyone to see how Touchstone students help out. We love to fill up the board, so the more hearts you bring in the better! This lets us celebrate the many acts of kindness our students take part in every day.

On Valentine’s Day our classes will be having Valentines parties. Teachers will be putting a sign-up sheet on their doors soon for items needed and for volunteers. As a reminder items brought to eat for class parties must be store bought, homemade items are not allowed due to state licensing.   Please check with your teacher for classroom specific information.  As a reminder, we are a nut free school so no candies with nuts please!

With cold and flu season upon us and with the Washington measles outbreak we ask that all families be sure to follow our sickness policy.  This is to keep students and staff healthy.  As a reminder, parents must keep sick children at home until they have been symptom-free for at least 24 hours. We reserve the right to refuse admittance to any student who shows a sign of illness. Children who become ill at school will be made comfortable and parents will be notified to pick them up within one hour and may not return for at least one day and if symptom free for at least 24 hours.

Thank you,

Gordon Kingsley Bass; Principal
