Westminster Family Connection - January 2023

Happy 2023! In January the whole school is united in learning about what is out there up in our sky. The younger students focus on the day and night skies, while older students are introduced to the solar system.

Planetarium The Raritan Valley Community College Planetarium has programs designed for preschoolers – check out their website https://www.raritanval.edu/planetarium for more information.

Conferences Morning classes are closed Wednesday January 25th and Thursday January 26th for parent teacher conferences. Your child’s teacher will be in touch with you regarding the schedule. If you need childcare during your conference, staff will be available to watch your child in the playroom. Please note that Lunch and Learn and 4’s Enrichment classes will remain open.

Pajama Day! Pajamas at school?? Yes, don’t’ worry about getting dressed on the 30th or 31st, it’s time to get cozy! Mrs. Bocian’s and Mrs. Diaz’s classes will wear pajamas to school on Monday, January 30th. Tuesday, January 31st will be Mrs. Ripps’ and Mrs. Machin’s classes turn. Students and staff love this day when we all wear pajamas to school - and make pancakes! Parents - feel free to wear pjs at drop off!

New Floors! New floors are coming to our downstairs hallway and classrooms over the Martin Luther King Jr. weekend (January 14-16)! Westminster Nursery School is a grateful recipient of a NJ American Rescue Plan (ARP) stabilization grant given in part to cover facility maintenance and improvements. We are using a portion of this grant to replace the cracked flooring in our hallway and classrooms downstairs.


Snow Day and Delayed Opening Reminder January may bring some winter weather! Please be sure to check your email! Westminster Nursery School follows Berkeley Heights Public Schools when it comes to closings and delayed openings due to inclement weather. I will send an e-mail between 5:30 am and 6:00 am in the event of a closing or delayed opening. If there is a delayed opening, classes will be in session from 10:00am until 12:00pm with extended day in session 12:00pm to 2:30pm.

2023-2024 Registration! Registration for next year is right around the corner. Current families and alumni will have priority registration. Watch for an email with more information.
