Welcome Parents!

Our new school year is fast approaching!
Here are a few important dates to remember:

• Tuesday, August 14th-Back to School Night at 6:00.  There will be a short informational PTO meeting in the Common's Area (the main entrance to the elementary building) there is more information regarding this on the school website; beginning at 7:00 parents will go to their child(rens) classroom(s) to meet the teacher and hear expectations for the school year (there will be 2 sessions that last 15 minutes).
• Thursday, August 16th-first day for TuTh preschoolers!  Our session times are:  7:55 (arrival as early as 7:40)-10:15/12:45 (arrival as early 12:30)-3:15.
• Friday, August 17th-first day for the MWF preschoolers!  Our session times are:  7:55 (arrival as early as 7:40)-10:45/12:15 (12:00)-3:15.
• Friday, August 24th-School picture day.  MWF sessions will attend together as a class.  If you have a TuTh preschooler and would like to have their school picture taken (this will be published in a school yearbook) you may wait until the picture re-take day scheduled for Thursday, October 18th (we would attend this as a class) or you may bring your preschooler to the school August 24th.  You would have an opportunity either at 8:00 am or 12:30 pm (please look for additional information from me closer to the date to confirm times).

What you might need to know:

• To drop off your preschooler-you will need to enter the main doors and bring your preschooler to our classroom (some preschoolers are able to do this on their own later in the school year-this is completely your decision!!).
• Pick up is outside the southwest doors (by the circle drive).  If it is raining or in the winter-extremely cold, we may be right inside the doors and will watch for you.
• TuTh preschool parents are highly recommended to place a change of clothes inside their child's backpack...just in case :).  MWF parents-better to be safe than sorry; but this is your decision.  We will keep these clothes inside their backpack unless needed.
• Dress code is anything BUT -all shoes must have a back strap (like crocs) tennis shoes are great as well!  Please encourage your preschoolers to wear comfortable, play clothes-we're here to have fun while we learn! 

Hope that helps!  I will have the new class lists posted, and MWF parents-snack lists completed before next week.  If your child has a August birthday and you would like to bring snack (both MWF and TuTh parents), please email me so we can get that scheduled!

With God's Peace,
Jill
