Winter Reminders for a Safe & Cozy Season ❄️

As the temperatures drop and the snow begins to sparkle, we want to share a few friendly reminders to help our school community stay warm, prepared, and connected this winter.

1. Dress for Winter Success 🧣🧤🧥

Outdoor play is an essential part of our day—it keeps children active, energized, and happy. To ensure they stay warm and comfortable, please send your child with proper winter clothing every day.
This includes:

  • A warm winter jacket

  • Snow pants

  • Waterproof boots

  • Mittens or gloves

  • A hat and neck warmer (scarves are not recommended for safety)

Labeling each item with your child’s name helps us return lost gear quickly.

2. Stay Updated on Inclement Weather Alerts 🌨️

Winter weather can change quickly! We encourage families to stay tuned to school updates, local news, and weather alerts for any closures or modified schedules.
If the school needs to communicate urgent weather-related information, we will send updates through our usual channels, so please ensure your contact details are current.

3. Reporting Absences Before 8:00 AM 📞

If your child will be absent, arriving late, or leaving early due to weather or illness, please remember to text the school absence line before 8:00 AM.
Early reporting helps our team ensure every child is accounted for and safe

6. Progress Reports 📬


Progress report cards go home this week. Please check your inbox and folders to stay up to date with your child’s learning and development.

7. Dietary Changes & Travel Notifications 🍎✈️

If there are any new dietary needs, allergies, or upcoming travel days, please contact our supervisor Dianne as soon as possible. Keeping her informed helps us maintain safe and accurate records.

8. Registration for 2026–2027 🎒

Registration for the 2026–2027 school year opens on February 7. More details will be shared soon—please mark your calendars.

9. Summer Camp Update ☀️

Please note that our Summer Camp program for ages 6–12 will not be offered this year. We encourage families to plan accordingly.

Muchas gracias!

  Understanding Terra Viva's Risky Play philosophy by Andrea Lopez Growing up in a small city in Colombia, my grandmother's house, surrounded by trees and mountains, until the age of 6, was my kindergarten. I cannot recall any stringing rules. On the contrary, I was encouraged to go play and return for lunch, and then go back into the Forest for the afternoon. I used to come back filthy and stinky after a day of exciting adventures. Since the age of 4, I was allowed to climb trees, build forts, make fire, be loud, and explore who I really was!  Was I at risk? perhaps. However, I was privileged enough to live in a safe neighborhood that provided me and other children of my age with the opportunity to be "free and wild " My experience cannot speak for other children who have grown up in different conditions or were a part of marginalized populations, where safety was simply not there. My introduction provides an overview of who I was as a child and how my experiences po...
