FANTASTIC first day of school for our preschool TIGERS! Messages will be sent as needed, but possibly a few more like these during the first days as routines are established and expectations are met. A few important items to share:
-Please remember to stay at your car for drop off and pick up. Do not walk to the front
door. This includes not parking on the parking lot and walking to the front door.
Most parents met this expectation and it went smoothly.
-Please pull up to the white painted line if you are the first car.
-Walkers did a great job of lining up on the right side of the front doors.
-We are hoping to have car tags completed and ready to distribute tomorrow
afternoon. Place this on your rearview mirror so that we are able to see your car tag
number and name.
-For pick up, remember to stay at your car. When your child is brought to you, please
buckle them up safety and as quickly as possible so we can keep the line moving.
-Attendance is very important. All of our full day classes are nearly filled. We expect
children to be present every day unless sick. If your child's attendance becomes a
concern, it is possible that we may have to remove them from our program and
provide the opportunity to other families waiting for a spot to open. Full day
students are expected to attend the the entire school day.
