T-Shirts: Honey Tree will also be giving each child a Honey Tree T-shirt. Examples of colors and sizes will be outside your child’s classroom to help you choose.

There are extra copies, if you would like a copy please stop by the office.   Shared Parent Information: If you would like to have contact information for classmates (for birthdays or play dates) Honey Tree will not be providing that. We can give you a form to have the families fill out. Stop by the office and pick one up. Room Moms: Any one interested in being a Room Mom to organize parents to help with Halloween decorating for our parade and a teacher appreciation lunch. We will be sending out a form for families to fill out with their interests and contact information. We will then hand them over to the Room Mom for future planning. If you are interested, let your child’s teacher know. Thank you! Tuition: Tuition is due on the first of each month.  Your second payment is now due.
