Dear
Families,
I hope your summer is moving along
safely and happily. I am very excited
to start a new school year and look forward to seeing familiar faces as well as
meeting new ones.
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.
If your child is new to preschool
and you haven't registered at the district office please do so as soon as
possible. All paperwork must be in
before he or she can start preschool.
The first day of preschool is September
3rd but we
hope to have contact with you prior to then.
We will be offering home visits during from August 20-September 2nd as
well as evaluating new students etc...
Times for preschool are: Tuesday
through Friday
AM Session: 8:20-11:15
PM
Session: 12:05-3:00 v

Open House Wednesday
August 27th 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,
pay first tuition payment etc…
Preschool does not participate in the school wide open house. If these times do not work out we can make
arrangements for another time.

Please do your best to attend a transportation meeting with Mr.
Thacker. You will get tags for you car
and child's backpack. Even if your
child is riding a bus he needs a tag for his backpack. During open house, home visit etc... we can
chat about the logistics of drop off and pick up if you still have questions.

Clothing: Preschool can be messy at times because we participate in all

comes to preschool in are play clothes.
We wear smocks during our messy activities and cannot promise stainless
clothing.

preschool for any important paperwork and notes to and from school.
