Hello Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten Families, 

A few things to keep on your radar!

- Swimming will start next week for Pre-K and Kindergarten. Preschool will start 9/18 due to the all-school photo next Friday.

- Swimming Schedule on Fridays:
​Preschool--------- 8:30-9:00 am
​PreK----------------- 10:00-10:30 am
​Kindergarten---- 12:00-12:30 pm 

- Class starts at 8:00 am, please make sure your student arrives on time!

- Please no shoelaces if your student cannot tie their own shoes! Velcro is a great option and a SAFE option to avoid tripping hazards!

-  A Healthy Snack Goes a Long Way! We encourage families to send a nutritious snack each day to help students stay energized and focused throughout the school day. Fresh fruits and vegetables, yogurt, cheese, whole-grain crackers, and similar wholesome options are great choices. While treats are certainly part of life, we ask that candy, cookies, chips, and other sugary or highly processed foods be reserved for occasional treats rather than everyday snacks.

A friendly reminder that my door is always open! I truly value your partnership and welcome the opportunity to connect. If you ever have questions, concerns, or ideas to help strengthen our program, please don’t hesitate to reach out, I’m always happy to set up a time to talk.

For matters that may feel a bit more sensitive, such as behavior, classroom procedures, or individual concerns, I kindly ask that you reach out to me directly rather than speaking with the teachers. This helps ensure that conversations are handled thoughtfully, consistently, and with the care each situation deserves.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions, I am always happy to help!

Thank you,
