September 2026 Newsletter
Dear 4CCN Families,
The school year is off to a fantastic start. It is so nice to see so many returning
faces and brand-new faces. The hallways have been filled with sounds of joy and tears. We are doing
everything we can to make this transition as smooth as possible. In just a few short weeks, the children will be settled into their new routines.
I would like to wish all of our families and staff a fantastic school year. I am so excited for the year ahead!

SEPTEMBER SNACK
In the month of September, we will serve graham crackers and apple juice for the entire month.
In October, we will rotate snacks each week. Snack menus will be posted in the newsletter and
on the bulletin board outside the office. If your son/ daughter has an allergy, please make sure it is noted
in their health inventory and on their emergency form. You should also send Jodi and your child’s teacher an email.
4CCN ANNUAL BBQ!
Weather permitting, we will have the BBQ on Friday, September 18 th , from 4:30 to 6:30 PM. Classrooms
will be open from 4:30 – 5:00 PM to meet the staff,and see what’s happening in the classrooms. Hot dogs and sides will be served on the playground.
Family members are welcome to join! If you have not PLAYGROUND received a sign-up genius link, please let Jodi know.
The playground is available before and after school to 4CCN families. This is a great way to meet other
families and help foster friendships among the children. Please remember that the playground must
be cleared by 2PM daily. Please clean up all of your trash before leaving the playground. It is important
to follow all of the playground rules to maintain consistency with the children. The rules can be found in your parent handbook.
PARKING
We are fortunate to have a very large parking lot. You can enter the lot from two locations, one
from University Blvd and a rear entrance from Eastwood Avenue. There are other tenants who
use the building and parking lot. Hold your children’s hands at all times when walking through the parking
lot. Never leave children unattended in your car while you drop off siblings. For the safety of all families
and children, the first 4 parking spaces by the front door will be blocked. This includes parking in front
of the playground. Cars backing up while families are entering and exiting the school is too dangerous.
Please do not park on the outside of the yellow lines. We have many families entering and exiting, and
blocking the traffic flow makes for a very dangerous parking lot.
VOLUNTEER FORMS
Volunteer forms were sent home with all of the children. Please fill out your form ASAP and return
it to Jodi. If you are interested in subbing when astaff member needs a day off, please let Jodi know. 4ccndirector@gmail.com.

The fall consignment sale is quickly approaching. This year’s fall sale will be held the week of October 5th. We
will have a huge selection of fall/winter children’s clothing (NB – 16), plus toys, books, games, baby gear, costumes,
and maternity clothes for sale. In addition to shopping the sale, you are also welcome to consign at the sale.
This is a great opportunity to clean out your closets and support the school at the same time. If you are interested
in consigning, you will need a consignor code. Codes are $6 via PayPal and $5 cash. Please come to the office to
pay for your code and pick up tags, information packet, and pricing guide. If you have any items you’d like to donate to the sale and
give the school 100% of the proceeds (instead of the 50/50 split for the consignor and school), you can donate items
that will be coded A1. Only donate items that you do not want returned to you.
As you know, an event of this size can only be successful with the help of many hands. Please help us make the
most of this sale, by signing up for and completing your required volunteer shift. Please remember that if you
have one child, you are required to work for 4 hours. If you have more than one child, you are required to work
for 6 hours. The Sign-Up will be sent on September 23 at 6 AM and is first come, first serve. Please contact our
consignment chairs at consign4ccn@gmail.com. This year’s fall sale will be held the week of October 5th. There will be
a huge selection of fall/winter children’s clothing (NB – 16), plus toys, books, games, baby gear, costumes, and maternity clothes for sale.
