Message from Mrs. Kilday
One week to go before your preschooler will be starting school! I can imagine that brings lots of feelings! If you are concerned about anything please let us know. We are here to support you!
I am excited see all of our little friends!
As you know, I am retiring from my position as the Early Childhood Coordinator. Our Interim Early Childhood Coordinator, Ms. Shelley Needle will take over for me starting this Monday, August 28th. She and I have spent many hours preparing for this transition and I am confident it will be very smooth. I will be here for the next two weeks offering training and support. My last day at the preschool will be Friday, September 8th.
It has truly been a pleasure to serve in this role.
Thank you,
Donna
Our Interim Early Childhood Coordinator

Missing Paperwork
Arrival and Dismissal Plan
If your child is on an IEP and requires van transportation, our staff will bring them out to the van in the afternoon and get them off the van in the morning.
Parking Lot Rules
1. Hold your child's hand at ALL times. If your child cannot tolerate hand holding, hold the back pack attached to them, their shirt-anything.
2. Please walk on sidewalks only. Do not walk in the middle of the parking lot.
3. Cross at crosswalks only. You will see our staff out there assisting you in these areas.
4. Please park in designated parking spots. We know the lots are very full, but parking in spots that are not designated can become a safety issue.
Please feel free to park along the sidewalk adjacent to the high school. This is a good, safer space to use.
I will be out there as much as possible to help so please flag me don if you need me.
Our school resource officer will also be helping with the parking lot occasionally.
