Happy Friday!

A couple notes:

• We will be having our Christmas parties on Thursday and Friday. The classes will have holiday activities, games, and snacks (no snacks need to be brought these days). We are inviting all family members in 15 minutes early at the end of class to celebrate with everyone. We hope to see you there! (Thank you to everyone who offered to send something in. Mrs. Bloom and I decided that we had plenty of things left over from the Thanksgiving celebrations to use and we are supplying the rest. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!)
• Pre K Parents - If you are interested in registering your child for Kindergarten at St. Francis next year please visit the school office. There is some paperwork that needs to be completed.
  
• Preschool registration will begin in early January for current preschool families.
• As the weather gets colder we will be going outside less and less. Our playground is all grass and gets muddy very quickly. Also, with the temperature dropping, staying out of the chilly air will hopefully help students from catching colds. To make up for the lack of gross motor activity, we will try to do more dancing and movement in the classroom during the winter.

Winter Weather Reminder

Winter Weather Reminder

During inclement weather, St. Francis de Sales Preschool will close in conjunction with the closure of St. Francis de Sales Elementary School. Saint Francis de Sales School will always be closed for severe weather when the Newark public schools close. If school would have to be cancelled during the day, the Preschool staff will notify parents/guardians and proper transportation should be arranged by the parents.

School closings will be announced on various radio stations and morning news shows.

If there is a two hour delay, there will be no morning preschool. The afternoon Pre K will remain the same, 12:30-3:00.

December 4 Newsletter

For our Christmas parties coming up, we will be doing a couple of fun activities and crafts together in the day. Students will not need to bring a snack that day because it will be provided by Mrs. Bloom and Mrs. Noward. We have plenty of juice left over from the Thanksgiving performances that we will use, as well. We will not be asking for volunteers to donate items or help out in the classroom, however we will be opening our doors 15 minutes early so we can share some songs and celebrate the season with our families. We look forward to seeing everyone there. :)
