February Newsletter

About This Month....
We are so excited about Valentine's Day in preschool. We will be having a party and exchanging valentines in class on Thursday the 12th. The morning class has 15 students (4 boys and 11 girls) and the afternoon class has 18 students (9 boys and 9 girls).
This month the pre-k kids will be starting the homework program. A note will come home explaining the program, and remember that it is optional and also each student goes at their own pace.
Thank you to all the parents who came to the fire station with us. The kids loved the fire trucks and were really good!
About Next Year...
If you haven't already heard from your elementary school about kindergarten registration, give them a call. It should be sometime this month. Also, I am finalizing the classes for next year. The 3-4 class will be on T, Th at 9:15-11:45 and the 4-5 pre-k class will be on T, W, TH at 12:45-3:15. Please let me know ASAP if you are returning next year so I can let the people on the waiting list know. We would love to have all the younger kids back next year, but we realize that situations change etc. so just let me know. I also have a few more spots left in the older class next year if you know anyone that is interested.
