Hello Preschool Parents,
This is a very important message regarding registration for next school year. Please check your child’s folder today for an important registration form. For morning half day students' parents, please check your child's folder tomorrow.
If your child will be returning to preschool or attending kindergarten next year, please complete the form and return it to your child’s teacher as soon as possible.
For families with children going to kindergarten, flyers are included for the Right At School after-school program, which is offered at our elementary school. Contact information is included on the flyer for enrollment.
For students returning to preschool, before and after care services will be available at the elementary school next year at the same rates as this year.

Hello Preschool Families!
Students will be coming home today with t-shirt order forms. We started this fundraiser to help support our preschool program and all the amazing things your children are doing at school. Thank you so much for supporting our classrooms!
Earlier this year, order forms were sent home for child-sized shirts, but we are now opening orders to adult sizes as well! You may notice there is a slightly different logo option on this form, as well as the original. The larger logo supports our school district as a whole, while the original logo catered to our younger students.
At this time, order forms are only being sent home with our preschool students, but families are absolutely welcome to order shirts for older siblings or other family members too!
Note: You can choose either logo on any of the shirt colors we offer. We are closing orders on April 10th. If you order anytime before then, you will still receive your shirt after April 10th. We will need about a week after closing orders to get them made and sent home!
Please let us know if you have any questions, and thank you again for supporting our preschool program!

Great morning to you, this is a reminder that today is an Early Release Day. Please pick your child up on time so that our teachers and staff can begin their professional development session. This means no afternoon classes or after care. Have a great day! Thanks for all you do!
