Staff Development Training 7/2 & 7/5: Sunscreen, Shade and Water – How to play it cool all summer long! | Every month our teachers learn something new, takes a look at something old from a new perspective, reinforces and reinvigorates previous education and training, or just have some hands-on fun through our regular training programs.
In addition to our inhouse training, we receive coaching from Child360 (aka LAUP). Several times a month our Child360 coaches visit and help us improve our parent, children and co-worker interactions. They help us: pinpoint areas to improve, set goals and implement action plans.

Reminders
Family Vacations: Will you be taking a summer vacation? Please fill out the What Are Your Summer Plans or block out dates in your Parent Portal at least two weeks before your vacation. This will allow us to plan accordingly for our daily activities and not worry about why your child is not at camp. Thank You!
Wear Sunscreen Everyday: It’s Sunscreen Time! If you’ve stopped applying daily sunscreen, it’s time to get back into the swing of things. Children (10 months- 6yrs) should come to school wearing an SPF 30 or more on all exposed areas of the skin. If you would like us to re-apply a medication form must be completed. We also recommend wearing a hat. We will be having a lot of outdoor fun! (Always consult your child’s physician.)
Teacher Vacations: Our teachers take well deserved time off year round but many vacations take place during the summer. You will notice some new and returning faces as we give the teachers the breaks they deserve. One of the great things about Halsey Schools is our team teaching atmosphere that allows your children to bond with our entire staff. So even when some of the teachers are hanging out at the beach, there will always be other familiar faces at school and camp.
Camp Halsey Water Play activities start 7/0 and will take place regularly so please make sure your child has:
- Bathing suit or swim diapers
- Sunblock SPF 30 or more applied
- Extra Sunblock
- Water shoes
- Water shirt
- Towel
- Hat
- Summer change of clothes & regular shoes
Please remember to label everything.
Basic Water Play Schedule: These are the days we have pre planned water activities. However it’s best to always have all the water play supplies at camp. We will be doing our best to conserve water.
