Thank you everyone for bringing in an apple this week! We had such a great time learning and experimenting with our apples. To hear more about our week please check out this week's newsletter:
September 23, 2010

On Friday the supply order invoices were put in each child's folder. Please make the check payable to St. Francis de Sales Preschool and either drop it off to Amber McCracken at the parish rectory, mail it in, or drop it off to me. Thank you!

Remember, we do not have preschool on Monday, September 27 because of a teachers' in-service day. I hope everyone has a nice long weekend.

Week 2 Update

Here is last week's newsletter - Week 2's Newsletter

This week we are learning about apples and the letter A. Thank you for bringing in apples! We will be using them every day for a different activity.

Just a few notes about drop off and pick-up:
  • Penguin Parents – Please do not park on Pearl Street until 8:20 am or later to drop off your preschooler. Parking before this time interferes with drop off for the main school. If you arrive before 8:20 please park across Granville Street or in the small lot next to the church and walk your child over. Thank you!
  • Polar Bear Parents - Please try to arrive as close to 3:00 pm as possible. Parking earlier interferes with dismissal for the main school. Thank you!

I was to apologize for not having this week's newsletter available. I have been home the past two days with a sore back. The newsletter will be posted on Monday.

Please remember to order from the Scholastic book orders by Monday if you are interested. You can order online or turn in the order form and a check to me. We get points to use towards classroom books and supplies with all orders.

Next week we will be learning about apples. We would like everyone to bring in one apple on Monday to use throughout the week. Thank you!

Dear Parents,

It's so simple! Here's how it works:

SIGN UP at www.Scholastic.com/bookclubs. On the parent page, click the "Don't have a User Name and Password?" link, then register for your own username and password. When prompted, enter the one-time Class Activation Code shown above. This code ensures that your order is sent to me.

SELECT the books you'd like to order from over 500 titles available online...and take advantage of online-only specials and discounts.

SEND your order to me online by the due date. Books will be delivered directly to our classroom, as always.

Of course, you can still order using the form from the printed flyer. But why not experience for yourself how convenient it is to order online?

Ordering online is fast, easy, and secure. Plus our whole class benefits thanks to the FREE books we'll earn with every parent online order.

Go to www.Scholastic.com/bookclubs now to get started.

Great First Week!

What a wonderful first week in Preschool! Mrs. Bloom and I really enjoyed spending time and getting to know your children. We are looking forward to a having a fantastic year with everyone!

Here is this week's newsletter - September 10, 2010

A couple of people have asked about the supply fee. There was a typo in the handbook. The supply fee is $100 a year, as stated in the tuition package you received after enrolling. The parish accountant, Amber McCracken, will be sending out invoices in the middle of the month.

Just a reminder - next week is a normal week. All the Penguins will come on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings and I will see all the Polar Bears every afternoon. We will be learning about friendship and talk about how to be a good friend to others and how to obey the rules at school. We will also learn about the Blessed Trinity.

I hope you enjoy the weekend! As always, if you have any questions or concerns please email me at jnoward@cdeducation.org. Thanks!
