Pick-up and Drop-off Times
Tardy Bell
All student doors close AT 8:55 AM for the AM session and 12:40 PM for the PM session.
If you are late, you must take your preschool student to the center doors, ring the bell and let the office know you are dropping your student off for their session time. You will need to know your child's teacher's name so they can assist in signing your preschooler in for the day.
Parking Lot Procedures
- All preschool vehicles NEED to park in the designated preschool parking area and MUST have their pink sheet in the front window
- When entering the parking lot do not get in the school-age drop-off lane. Please drive SLOWLY by the line (on the inside of the curve) and park your vehicle along the curb/preschool parking area.
- If the curb line is full and you park in a parking spot, you must wait to walk in the crosswalk area. The same goes for when returning to your parked vehicle.

Preschool Staff Member of the Month...
Ms. Britney also enjoys spending time with her family. She is engaged to her fiance', Zach, and has two children, Bella (9) and Keyton (6). Their family has many animals including horses, cats, dogs, and chickens. One of Ms. Britney's favorite activities is riding horses and spending time outdoors with her family.
We have had the privilege of working with Ms. Britney for the past 5 years. If she could give preschool parents advice, she recommends for families "to enjoy the little moments and allow your child to explore their world and learn, it's a beautiful thing."

Family engagement continues to be an important part of preschool in order to foster and develop relationships between home and school. Information can be found on our preschool website at https://www.cwschools.org/PreschoolInformation.aspx .
