First Week of PreK-3

Please scroll down to see our sweethearts in action on our first day of PreK!
(I can't wait to start posting more photos of our friends!!  Coming Soon...)

Weekly Recap:  

We had a great first day of school on Friday!  Mrs. Selser and I were so impressed with how quickly all the children adjusted to being in their new classroom.  Good job prepping them for school moms and dads!!!  It is going to be a wonderful school year!! 

We had so much fun on our first day of school painting, playing, coloring, singing, dancing and of course starting to make new friends!

A Sneak Peek at Our Upcoming Week:

This week we will be working on our "All About Me" (and each other) Unit!  We cannot wait to see what you and your children come up with on your ⭐Star Posters⭐ for our first Show and Tell on Friday 9/13!  We will also continue to learn our new classroom routines.  The children are all catching on really quickly already!

New Student:  We have an additional student enrolled in our class bringing our count to 13 sweet little munchkins, 9 girls and 4 boys!!!

✎FORMS, FORMS, FORMS....✐ Please be sure to sign up for Parent Square for important information and forms from the Main Office. The information to sign up is below.  Please return all forms to school as soon as possible.  And please note that our quarterly PIZZA order is due soon!!

Parent Square

Please be sure to sign up for Parent Square!  This is the platform for school-wide communications.  This is also where you will find links for Before Care, After Care and Pizza Orders.  It is a great way to be in the know for school wide happenings!!

PreK Before Care aka "Early Birds":

If your child will be in need of this service, please be sure to register through your Parent Square Account.  Before Care runs from 7:30-8:30am in the Main Building Gym.  Please drop your child off at the Main Entrance any time between 7:30 and 8:10am.  You will be billed monthly for the days you utilize the service.  You may either pay through Parent Square or send your payment in with your child.  All information can be found in your Parent Square Account.  Please reach out should you have any additional questions. 

Please LABEL EVERYTHING that belongs to your little one.  It is very difficult for us to keep track of what belongs to whom.

Thank you for returning our school forms so quickly as well as all of your very generous donations of tissues, baby wipes and disinfecting wipes!! I have some of your reusable shopping bags but not sure who they belong to.  I will have them by the Learning Center Entrance for you to reclaim on Tues and Wed morning.

School Pictures๐Ÿ“ธ:  9/13 for PreK-3 - Grade 2:  Please wear your smile! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Absentees:  Please notify the School Nurse if your child will be absent from school.  You may either call or email.  If you choose to email please cc me as well.  

Back to School Night

Back to School Night will only be held for Grades One through Eight.  Our PreK Orientation was in lieu of it.  Feel free to attend for the introductions by our HSA and Mr. Dunnigan if you wish but please keep in mind that PreK and Kindergarten class presentations will not be offered that evening.
