Welcome to Pre-K 4!
2020-2021 School Year - Our Lady of Good Counsel School
Hello from Mrs. Kilmer
Dear Pre-Kindergarten Friend,
Welcome to Our Lady of Good Counsel Pre-K 4!
My name is Mrs. Lynda Kilmer and I am very excited to be your teacher this year!
I have lots of fun and exciting plans for us. We will meet the Letter People, practice writing, discover plants and animals, become skilled at counting and learn special prayers and stories of Jesus. Plus so much more!
You and your parents are invited to the Pre-K 4 Orientation so you can explore our classroom (5A) and meet me! Orientation is on September 2nd OR September 3rd. Please look for a Sign-Up Genius to be emailed to you so that you and your family can sign-up for a time.
Our first full day of Pre-K 4 is Tuesday September 8th.
I can’t wait to meet you and begin our wonderful school year!
Mrs. Lynda Kilmer

Dear Parents,
We welcome you and your child to our Prekindergarten for the school year 2020-2021. This is a very exciting time for all of us, and we hope that your child’s experience at OLGC School will be rewarding in the spiritual, academic and social aspects of learning. We hope that the following information will help you as you prepare yourself and your child for school.

Full Day - 8:15 AM to 2:30 PM
Arrival
Preschoolers should not arrive earlier than 7:45 AM. (Please register for our CARES Program if you require additional childcare.)
Due to the arrival of numerous buses and car drop-off of older students, preschoolers and their parents should parking in the first two designated lanes located at the front of school. Parents should then walk their child to the front of school where a faculty member will escort them to their classroom.The Prekindergarten teachers will be waiting for them in the classroom. Activities will be planned to help your child get a great start to their day. By 8:15 AM everyone should be ready for the school day to begin.
Half Day Pre-K Dismissal
Children will be escorted to the Gym doors at 11:45 AM for Half Day pick-up. All cars must be parked in the area by the Gym doors and parents must leave their vehicles to pick up their children. Children will be dismissed by their teachers directly to the person that is designated for pick-up either in writing or by phone message.
Full Day Pre-K Dismissal
Pick up for Pre-K students is promptly at 2:30 PM at the Gym doors. Parents must enter and leave the school parking lot by way of Knowles Avenue only. Cars must be parked in the area by the School Gym. Please park your car and meet your child at the Gym doors. Traffic lanes are permitted to exit onto Knowles Avenue when students are safely inside their cars. Children attending our CARES Program after school will wait in their classroom until they are called.
Dress Code
Children will wear the school gym uniform and sneakers.
Flynn & O'Hara is the ONLY place where you can purchase all your uniform needs. Please visit their website, found HERE, to purchase. For more information on OLGC Uniforms, please visit our school website under the "Uniform" section found HERE.
School Supplies
We ask that you purchase a full-size school bag for your child and a sturdy pocket folder to be used for classroom communication. Please see the supply list above for all supplies needed.
Snack
We will have a snack time every morning. Please provide a simple snack and bottle of water for your child. Please label it so we will know it is for snack. Please let us know if your child has any food allergies or is not allowed to eat certain foods.
Lunch
Please pack a nutritional lunch for your child. Food from home will not be heated. Use a thermal container if you are sending hot food. A reusable lunch bag or box should be purchased. A napkin to be used as a placemat should be packed daily along with any needed utensils. Food that is not eaten will be sent home so that you can adjust the amount or kind of food you send. Your child will also have an opportunity to participate in the school lunch program. Please visit our school website for more information on the lunch program and when that begins.
Rest Time
After lunch, the children have some quiet time. Please let me know if you need a rest mat. The cost of the mat is $20.00. If your child already has a mat from a previous class, they may use that mat.
Orientation
On Wednesday, September 2nd and Thursday, September 3rd, you and your child may visit school at your designated time. This visit is recommended to alleviate first day fears when your child will be expected to come to the classroom without you. The children will have an opportunity to explore the classroom and meet their teachers.
*The first full day of school for Pre-K 4 is Tuesday, September 8th.*
Hopefully we have answered many of your questions. We want everyone to feel comfortable about entering school. It should be a very happy and joy-filled time in your child’s life. Please make us aware of any special needs your child might have – be they physical, emotional or social. It is most important that each child experience a sense of security as they leave you to spend time with us.
May God bless you and your family and may your remaining summer days be filled with rest and relaxation. We look forward to meeting with you and your child in September and working with you in your child’s education throughout the coming school year.
