Butterfly School News for JANUARY!! PRE-ENROLLMENT TIME!
Happy 2018! it is always exciting to see what the new year will bring!
We will soon begin our pre-enrollment for the 2018-2109 school year. Pre-enrollment is reserved for all current Butterfly School students and their siblings. Information will be sent home with your child Feb 8 and is due back no later than Feb 15. This is your opportunity to guarantee a spot for your child in our classes for the next school year. Should you choose not to take advantage of pre-enrollment, you will not be guaranteed a spot for your child. This year’s twos and fours classes are perfect examples having a wait list of over 20 families long. Don’t be caught being at the end of the list, leverage your pre-enrollment opportunity today!!
Open enrollment for the local community begins February 27, at 9:00 in our gym. Please share this with your friends and family who might be interested.
DVDs of our Christmas porgram Love Came Down should be in by the end of the month.
A reminder to our pre-k families:
The Gesell Kindergarten Readiness Screening will once again be offered to students in our pre-k classes this Saturday, January 13. This screening will provide you with an overall developmental age for your child. To properly set expectations, the Gesell is not an intelligence test. The screening will take 20-30 minutes and is designed to be non-threatening and most children enjoy the experience! When the screening is completed and scored, the teacher will conference with you to share the results before you leave. PLEASE SIGN UP by THURSDAY, January 11. The cost is $55.00, which will need to be paid at the time of scheduling. I will be happy to answer any questions you have.
Below is the Gesell website.
