We welcome all kindergarteners and their families to meet up and get to know each other before the start of the school year.
We are trying to accommodate many different schedules so there are a variety of times, days of the week and locations. Hopefully everyone will find something that works for them and their schedule.
Tuesday, August 3rd, 5-6pm, CHES small playground
Tuesday, August 10th, 11am-noon, CHES small playground
Saturday, August 21st, 4-5pm, location Cass Park
Wednesday, September 1st, 5-6pm, CHES small playground
There will be at least one additional date and time set for the last week of August, hopefully once everyone has received their back to school packet. Packets usually come out about 1-2 weeks before school begins and will contain teacher assignments as well as any supplies needed for back to school.
These playdates are open to any incoming kindergarteners as well as their families and siblings. Please feel free to share this information with anyone you know who may not have attended a Kindergarten orientation event in June at CHES. This is where email addresses were collected.
Playdates will be held outside and will be cancelled for inclement weather. Please check the CHES PTA website for updates. The dates can be found on the calendar page as well as on the home page under "Upcoming Events". The website will be updated 1 hour before the scheduled time if the playdate is cancelled, though as we all know weather can change quickly here in Ithaca!
Depending on the location there may not be restrooms available. There was a port-a-potty at CHES last spring, but I do not know if it is still there.
Please contact me at president@chespta.net if you have any questions about playdates or the CHES PTA, but please know that this is not a reliable email to use for last minute questions/concerns as different volunteers from the PTA will be present at different play dates.
