Upcoming Changes:
Summer is almost here!  With summer will come some important scheduling changes at UCD.  Our summer session officially begins on Monday, May 29th.  We are closed on that day for the Memorial Day holiday, however, we will be begin our "summer school" the following day!

Summers are a little bit different for the classroom curriculum.  We do not run our normal curriculum; we will have lesson plans and activities that are a little more relaxed for June and July.  We will have splash days, arts and crafts, go on walks, and go on some field trips.

The teacher's schedules will also be changing in the Kindergarten Readiness classroom.  Ms. Ronda will be working full time as the lead teacher and Ms. Kaylie will step in as the assistant teacher.  Ms. Rachel will only work part time during the summer months.  Once summer is over, she will be moving out of the Kindergarten Readiness classroom for a couple of years in order to take the opportunity to get her Infant CDA.  Over the summer she will be working Monday through Wednesday helping out in both the Kindergarten Readiness room and the infant room, as well as covering the office from time to time.  She will be the full time teacher in the infant room for the fall semester.
