Our school pictures will be taken October 15th and 16th.  More information will be out shortly!

Hi everyone!

We are off to a great start!  Week two and the children are settling in with the schedule and rules of the classroom!  We have been busy talking about apples and making lots of apple projects!  I love our Friendship Apple Tree on the bulletin board!

I want to remind everyone that the Ice Cream Social is on September 29th from 6-7:30.  This is a time for you to come in and visit the classroom, enjoy some ice cream and check out the Book Fair!  Our PTA is amazing and I hope that you will become a member!

I would like to hold a couple of parent information nights this fall.  One night would be for parents of our three year olds.  We will talk about what you can expect from our program this school year.  The next information night will be for parents of our older students.  On this night we will discuss our curriculum, how you can support your child’s learning and what you can expect from our program for your four year old child.  As soon as a date is set I will let you know!

Lastly, with the cooler weather comes our stuffy nose season!  This seems to last for ever!  I am asking everyone to please let me know anytime your child is sick.  One of our students in our afternoon class is medically fragile and we would like to give the family the option of keeping their child home if there is a lot of illness in the room.  You can email me in the morning (before 8am) or just call and leave a message on my phone.  I thank you so much for your cooperation!

Our First Week of School

Our first week is completed!  And what a great week it was!  We are all learning the preschool process!  Each day we sang a song to learn the names of all of our friends and teachers!  We got to explore the toys, paint, play with play doe, read stories and of course, dance!  I am hoping that the extremely warm weather is behind us, and we can begin to enjoy the cooler days of fall!  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!  Thanks for a terrific week!

Hi everyone!  It was so great to see so many of you at the Open House on Thursday!  We have one more week before we start our year!  We are all so excited to start our year and look forward to getting to know you and your children!

Welcome Back!  

I hope everyone had a very restful and fun filled summer!  So, with school starting back up at the end of the month, I thought I would try to answer some of the most frequently asked questions!

What are the hours and days of Preschool?
We have 3 different sessions of preschool:
MWFam - 9:15-11:45
TTHam - 9:15-11:45
TWTHpm - 12:30-3:00

Where do I drop off and pick up my child?
Drop off for the morning classes you can drive around the school building and drop off in the back near the preschool play ground.  Drop off for the afternoon class you need to park in the parking lot and walk your child to the preschool playground.  (Afternoon class please do not enter the playground when the older children are having recess.  Please wait until the teachers line them up to go inside and then walk your child to the preschool playground.  We strive to keep our school as safe as possible!  Thanks!)

Pick up for all classes you need to park in the parking lot and walk to the preschool playground.

What will my child need for preschool?
Your child will need a backpack, a change of clothes in a ziplock bag (in case we have an accident or get wet/dirty) and a healthy snack and drink.

Can we bring in a treat for birthdays?
Unfortunately, we are unable to share any snacks due to many children having allergies.  You are welcome to make the day special for your child by providing him/her with a special treat.  Or you could share something non-edible with the class.

When is tuition due?
Tuition is due the first of every month.  Please drop your payment off in the office.  We ask that you do not give your tuition to any of the teachers to avoid any lost or misplaced payments.  Thanks!

When is the first day of school?
We will be having an Open House August 27th 2:00-4:00.  We hope to see everyone there!  Preschool starts September 8th, one week after the "big" kids so they can settle in and things are a little calmer for when we start!

I hope this answered some of your questions!  I am so excited to start this school year and look forward to meeting everyone in a couple weeks!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Pollard
