Beginning of the School Year 2012
August 2012
Dear Families,
I hope your summer is moving along safely and happily. Janie and I are thrilled to begin a new school year.
We know many of you are looking ahead to the new school year and we will be here every step of the way to make sure that it is a smooth transition for both you and your child.
The first day of preschool is September 18th but we hope to have contact with you prior to then. Teachers reported back to school on August 29th for professional development. Our days will be filled with trainings and preparation, but we will be available for any questions or concerns.
Please bring to open house or the first day of school:
- Please make sure you send in an extra change of clothes (including socks) in your child’s backpack. We will store the clothes at school and return at the end of the year.
- Diapers, wipes, pull-ups. Please send enough for at least a week of school. (if needed) We will notify you when our supply is getting low.
- Family photo to post in our room
- Clothing: Preschool can be messy at times because we participate in all types of hands-on activities such as painting, coloring, water play, play dough etc… Please make sure that the clothes your child comes to preschool in are play clothes. We wear smocks during our messy activities and cannot promise stainless clothing.
- Shoes: We run, jump, climb, etc… Please make sure your child wears comfortable shoes that do not slip off. Mulch will get into open toed shoes and sandals on the playground therefore we ask that your child wear closed toe shoes such as sneakers.
- Backpack-large enough to transport nap items and standard sized notebooks and folders.
Important Information
- Open House Thursday September 6th from 10-11 a.m. or 1-2 p.m. You are invited to stop in anytime during the 2 hours. This will be a good opportunity to ask questions, see the classroom, return paperwork etc…
- Lunch-Your child will have the opportunity to purchase or pack a lunch to eat at school. We are very excited about eating lunch at school, as it will provide even more opportunities for communicating, teach self-help skills etc… We will be eating lunch in our classroom. Your child may also purchase milk or “extra” items to go along with the packed lunch. If your child buys a lunch Ms. Janie or I will pick it up from the cafeteria and bring it to the classroom. If your child packs a lunch we cannot heat items up or keep them cool so please pack accordingly. Please do not pack any lunch items containing Peanuts or Peanut Products.
- Rest Time: After lunch we will have a rest period. Each child will have a cot to rest on. Your child may bring in a small blanket and/or small pillow for his or her cot. We ask that you provide a large resealable plastic bag to keep the rest items in. The items will be kept at school and returned periodically for a wash.
- Transportation: Please do your best to attend a meeting with Mr. Thacker. A letter should be arriving soon regarding the meeting.
- Communication Folder: Your child will have a communication folder provided by preschool for any important paperwork. A communication notebook is not required this year.
- Snack: We will provide snack daily.
- School Supplies: There isn’t a mandatory school supply list but donations are always welcome (disinfecting wipes, tissues, paper towels, glue sticks, crayons, washable markers)
