URGENT--SCHOOL CLOSURE CONTINUES

Dear New Amsterdam Community,

THE NEW AMSTERDAM EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER WILL NEED TO REMAIN CLOSED THROUGH WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7th.

On Friday evening the school was flooded from an apartment above us.  We were alerted by the building and have a professional team working to dry out the school.  They will need to continue the drying process through at least Wednesday to prevent worse damage.  Along with our Bridge, Nursery and Kindergarten classes we are also cancelling the Parent Evening scheduled for Monday, November 5th.  Our Parent-Child classes on Monday, November 5th and Wednesday, November 7th are cancelled as well.

We are saddened to have to keep the school closed but know it is necessary.

We will contact you on Wednesday, November 7th to update you on the progress and let you know if classes will resume on Thursday, November 8th.

The Lantern Walk will take place as planned on Friday, November 9th from 5:30-6:30 PM in the El Jardin del Paraiso Garden.

Our thoughts are with all of you and your children. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please call me at the school or on my cell phone.


Sincerely,

Anne Elliott
