Hello Preschool & Pre-Kindergarten Families, 

IMPORTANT DATES! 

• Career Week: April 27 - May 8 

• We are excited to invite you to participate in our upcoming Career Week, taking place April 27 – May 8!

  During this time, we are looking for parent volunteers to present to our Preschool-Kindergarten students and share about their careers. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to learn about different jobs, connect classroom learning to the real world, and ask questions about future possibilities. It’s also a meaningful way for families to engage in the classroom experience.

  Presentation Details:

  • Time: 8:10 AM or 8:30 AM (two slots available each day)
  • Length: 15-minute presentation + 5 minutes for student questions
  • Audience: Preschool-Kindergarten students

   

  You don’t need to prepare anything elaborate—students love simple, engaging presentations! You might:

  • Explain what you do at work in kid-friendly language
  • Share why you chose your career
  • Bring safe tools, pictures, uniforms, or props
  • Talk about how your job helps others

  A simple structure could be:

  1. Introduce yourself
  2. Explain your job
  3. Show an item or photo related to your work
  4. Take student questions
  If you’re interested in volunteering, please use the link below to sign up for a presentation day/time and provide:

A friendly reminder that my door is always open! As the Early Childhood Education Coordinator, 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, 

Melanie Gilles

ECE Coordinator/Family Liaison
