December 2015
Dear Families ,
It’s that time again; the end of a busy semester. At the HRG-UCLCC, it’s been a great semester, thanks to the excellent parents, children, staff, & teachers. We hope you take time to relax over the holiday season.
We have some special things planned for the upcoming spring semester as well as the last month of 2015. Please take the time to check your child’s cubby area to make sure they have a regular supply of extra clothing
(weather appropriate). Thank you!
We would like to wish all our families’ healthy & happy holidays.
Thank you for supporting the HRG-
UCLCC. It’s because of families like you which make our place so special!! 

Outdoor
Policy/Clothing
A child well enough to be in school is well enough to go outside. We will honor a note from the doctor if it is recommended to stay inside for health reasons.
Please dress your child accordingly
& label their belongings. Many of the children still have t-shirts and shorts in their cubbies, if extra clothes at all. Please swap out clothing in cubbies accordingly and begin to bring in the needed outdoor clothing for winter, LABELED (coats, snowpants, boots, hats, mittens, etc…)
