Happy New Year! We can’t wait to spend 2019 with you and your children.
I hope the new year is off to a great start for all of our families. Winter has arrived and although we are faring well, as a reminder, we broadcast our school delay and closing information on channel 6 ABC. Parents are able to sign-up for text messaging and email alerts through www.6ABC.com for when our school reports a delay or closing. We will also do our best to send out a Tadpoles notification to all of our families, and add a message to our school website homepage, if we have power and technology capabilities. In the event of an Early Dismissal during our hours of operation, we will utilize these resources in addition to contacting parents of children in our care at that time.
Thank you to all who participated in our holiday giving initiative last month. We were able to collect over 90 pairs of pajamas for children in need. Pictures of our Kindergarten students packing up the pajamas will follow.
Later this month we will be conducting Kindergarten Priority Registration exclusively for our internal families. In addition, we will be hosting an Open House and Kindergarten Parent Workshop/Priority Registration for parents of children who will become Kindergarten-age eligible for the upcoming school years. The Parent Workshop will take place on Saturday, January 26th from 10:30am-11:30pm. Please RSVP to Pam or Heather, and feel free to extend an invitation to interested families who may be looking for a Kindergarten or a preschool program. And, stay tuned for Early Bird Registration in the weeks ahead for all families continuing with us for the 2019-2020 School Year!
In March and June, parents of students enrolled in our PreK and PreK 2 programs will receive a detailed progress report of their child’s skill development in the form of our Links to Learning Parent Report. Accompanying the June Parent Report will also be the PLG document. (Personal Learning Goals) The PLG will provide you with what we see as the next steps in your child’s academic journey and can act as a guide to help you select the most appropriate kindergarten program for your child. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me or your child’s teacher. We are excited to continue to work closely with you as we customize and enhance your child’s Pre-K experience at our school.
As our annual licensing inspection approaches, we will be circling around with families for any outstanding paperwork that may need to be updated. Please check your child’s mailbox daily for communications and paperwork being sent home. It is imperative that we maintain our records to ensure we not only meet but exceed the state requirements. Thank you to all of our families for their cooperation!
Please be sure to mark your calendars now, for our next Teacher In-service Day on President’s Day, Monday, February 18th.
Best Wishes for the New Year ahead!
Kindly,

As children begin the toddler stage, they respond to familiar words by shouting, gesturing or reaching for objects. As their language skills develop, their babbles evolve into a mix of real and made-up words and phrases. They learn to express their needs and wants with language and rely less on[.....]
