TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK
The week of May 2nd is Teacher Appreciation Week! Show our staff how much you care by sending them a note of appreciation. Our Teacher Appreciation board is located at the entrance of the main building.
SPRING PHOTOS
Kathleen Ahern photography will be here Wednesday 5/4 and Thursday 5/5 to take Spring photos. Photo package order forms were sent home the week prior to our picture days and must be returned by the date indicated on the envelope. Order envelopes must be submitted even if you are paying by Venmo. Photo package order forms are for SPRING PHOTOS ONLY.
GRADUATION PHOTOS
In addition to Spring Photos, the Pre-K will ALSO take GRADUATION PHOTOS and will be posed wearing a cap and gown. NO ponies/pigtails on long hair so the graduation cap fits properly.
Graduation photos will be available online for viewing and purchase at a later date.
MORNING PRACTICE
The Pre-K will be practicing during the month of May for our Graduation ceremony. Please make sure your child arrives to school on time (by 8:45am)! Late arrivals will miss important practice time. DO NOT BE LATE!
PRE-K GRADUATION
Our VIRTUAL graduation ceremony will be held on Friday, June 3rd at 10:30am. Families will be invited to join us via Youtube as the Pre-K Class sing songs, receive their diplomas and celebrate their promotion to Kindergarten. An invitation will be emailed to the Pre-K parents the week of May 30th. We will be recording the ceremony to share with those that cannot tune in live.
There is a $12.00 fee to cover the cost of ALL graduation materials including the diploma, graduation cap (Children will NOT wear gowns during the ceremony) other graduation goodies and a Pizza Party at the end of the school year. Please have your graduation fee submitted by Friday 5/20. CASH PAYMENTS ONLY PLEASE!!
CRAZY HAT DAY
Wear your favorite hat to school on Wednesday 5/18. The crazier the hat the better! We love to see original hats that are made from things around the house. Be creative and have fun!
TUITION
*May is a 5 week tuition month.
*If your child will NOT attend in summer, you will owe 1 week tuition for the month of June (6/6 – 6/10). Children are expected attend the last week of school.
Last Month…
The month of April was busy for us! We participated in activities that help us recognize our letters and we have been practicing spelling our names. We’re preparing for our graduation ceremony and soon we will be talking about getting ready for Kindergarten.
We had fun getting ready for Easter! We painted eggs and made some cool Spring art with puffy paint and water color. We had a lot of fun at our Easter party as well. We played fun games, had an egg hunt and ate yummy party treats.
We’ve been spending a lot of time making our own books / flip books and we’ve been sharing them with our class during circle time.
We’ve also found interest in the “Who Would Win?” book series about different animals. The Redwoods have had a lot of fun voting for who would win when they battle.
This month we’ll make a special gift for our grown ups and spend lots of time preparing for our graduation ceremony.
