The Country Day School website is

To communicate with teachers, please give us a note at arrival or call the office and we will call you as we can. We are unable to chat during arrival, dismissal and work times because our attention needs to be on the children at those times. There are several opportunities to volunteer in the classroom, such as preparation of materials, contribute snack for the day, gardening projects or helping at parties. Please fill out the attached volunteer form to help us get organized. Your help and contributions are much appreciated!
We look forward to a wonderful year. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to teach your child.
