Barfield Early Childhood Center- April 2022
Message from Mr.G
We have Field Day, which we be held on May 25 for both our AM and our PM classes. For Field Day, we have a wide variety of outdoor games and activities planned for the students. Parents are welcome to attend!
We do a little extra for our kindergarten-bound students. Our PM students will take a field trip to their prospective elementary school. Our students will board WSD buses and be transported to their elementary school. The elementary principals will greet the students and give them a tour of the their new school. We have 13 elementary schools so this field trip requires a lot of planning and coordination. I am working with the principals and the transportation department to finalize the details. The visits will take place during the weeks of May 9 and May 16. We will send home permission slips in your student's backpack and I will send a text advising you to look for it in their folders.
In last month's newsletter I mentioned that I had reserved the auditorium at Liberty High School for our Kindergarten Blast Off Program. While we do not have a preschool "graduation," we do celebrate our students' attainment of the developmental milestone of finishing preschool and entering elementary school with our Blast Off program. During COVID we had a parade for our kindergarten-bound students. I was approached recently about having the parade again in lieu of the Blast Off Program. I would be happy to have either event, so long as we do something fun to celebrate our PM students. I created this survey to get feedback from the parents of our afternoon students. Please complete the survey before Friday, April 22. I will share the results the following week.
Thank you for your feedback. We will make the end of the year a celebration for all of our students!
