2010-2011 Preschool Calendar

2010-2011 Calendar

Here is the Preschool calendar for this upcoming school year. A couple of things to notice, the Open House is on Sunday, August 15th from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. in the Preschool classroom. Also, be sure to check out the start dates because the Penguins and Polar Bears classes have half of the students starting on different days according to last names.

Next week welcome letters will be mailed out. I hope you're enjoying summer. I look forward to seeing everyone soon!

The End of the School Year

Can you believe the end of the school year is already here? All three classes had a fantastic last week! We read books about sunshine and summertime, we learned about summer safety and we all had a rockin' time at our beach parties! Pictures and videos will be posted soon!

I cannot thank you all enough for your continuous help and support throughout the year. Without all of you this year would not have been as successful as it was. I enjoyed getting to know and teaching your children and am looking forward to seeing them again in September. To those of you moving on, I wish you good luck. Your children will be missed greatly!

If you are returning next year as a Penguin or PreK Polar Bear, please remember that I will need a new, updated Child Medical Statement (immunization form) which can be found under "Helpful Links" on the right side of the website. There is no need to fill out another Enrollment and Health Information Form. We will review and update (if need be) your old one at the beginning of next school year.

I wish everyone a safe and fun summer! Enjoy the extra time with your little ones! If you need anything over the new few months I will be in and out of the preschool office (740-345-4049) and checking my email often (jnoward@cdeducation.org). Thank you for a fantastic year!

Down in the Ocean

What a great time we all had this week learning about the ocean! Please make sure to check out our ocean scene all three classes help put together out in the hallway. It turned out great!

Just a reminder that next week is our LAST week of classes. I cannot believe how fast this school year went. To celebrate the end of the year, we will be having a beach party on the last day! All the students are invited to wear their swim suits and sunglasses, hats, etc. Please remember, all shoes need to have straps around the heels, boys should also wear shirts, along with girls wearing two pieces. Weather permitting, we will be spending the majority of the day outside so please put sunscreen on your child. We are looking forward to having a fun last day! Please let me know if you have any questions.

As the weather continues to get warmer, I would just like to send out a little reminder that all students need to wear shoes with heel straps on them for safety purposes. Thank you. :)
