The end of the year has arrived! Wow, are we going to be busy!  The Spring Concert is coming soon and we are so excited for you to see your children.  They have been working hard on their songs and are very excited for the program.  We have changed the format of the program due to space constraints.  We are amazed at the family support we have for the programs and we want to make sure everyone has a seat.  We will have the program at the High School Auditorium however; we are separating it into two sections.  Ms. Lynette and Ms. Shelley’s program will begin at 6:00p.m. with songs and a slide show.  Ms. Allison, Ms. Kris and Ms. Leann’s program will begin at 7:00 p.m. with songs, graduation and a slide show.  The biggest concern we have is:  HOW DO WE GET EVERYONE IN AND OUT OF THE BUILDING BETWEEN PROGRAMS?  At the Christmas concert we tried to not open doors until a certain time, however this did not work as well as we had planned so this time we are going to be very diligent in finding a process and sticking to it.  We need your help to do this. 

For the first program, please bring your child at 5:45 to the east doors leading into the high school.  Ms. Shelley and Ms. Lynette will meet you there and take children to the classroom.  After children have gone to their classrooms, the auditorium will open for seating.   After the program, we ask that families remain seated until all the children have been escorted out.  Children will remain with their teacher and will exit out the North Doors of the building into the grass common areas.  We want all families to then exit out the North Doors into the grass area commons for pictures. 

 

For the second program, please bring your child at 6:45 to the east doors of the High School.  Teachers will be standing outside and we will gather children in a line and take them inside.  As soon as the auditorium has cleared, we will open the doors for families to be seated.

We will have a short intermission between the songs and graduation.  For those children not graduating we will ask that a parent pick them up on the stage and can then be seated for the slide show.  After the slide show, we ask that families remain seated until all children have been escorted out.  Ms. Allison and Ms. Kris’ classes will go back to the classrooms.  Ms. Leann’s class will remain on the stage. We will dismiss parents by the day that their child attends.  You will have the opportunity at that time to take pictures.

Because we have such wonderful parent involvement we are working hard to make smooth and safe transitions.  Please help us to do this by following the above guidelines.  We can’t wait until the program.  We know it will be enjoyable for everyone!

 We would like to thank all the families for participating in preschool this year and look forward to everyone returning next year. We wish everyone luck that is moving on to kindergarten and will miss you!  Have a fun summer!

Gentle Reminders

We have started a notebook at the front desk with letters from parents on their experiences at the preschool.  Please feel free to look at it and bring in letters that we can add to our book.  It is great to read and see the experiences you have had at our school.

Our tee-shirts are here! We ordered extra shirts if anyone would like one.  We can also order hoodies and long sleeve shirts.  Please see Jen or Deena if you are interested.

Look for sign-up sheets posted by your child’s classroom for the family BBQ.  Remember if your child rides the bus and you would like to help, give your teacher a call at 454-9400.  They would be happy to sign you up.

If your child will be attending Kindergarten next year and you have not registered at the school district, please stop by Eaton or Galeton Elementary for a registration packet.  It helps the school decide on staffing patterns for next year.

We are trying to get a count for tuition children that will be attending the last week of May.  Please write the last day of school that your child will attend on the chart that will be posted on the sign in/out sheets by your child’s classroom door.  Thanks.
