PreK News of the Week
May 13, 2019
We began our Community Helpers week today with a visit from the York County Sheriff's K-9 Unit. It was awesome! Corporal Eck brought his partner, Tommi, to school. What a beautiful dog! The children were fascinated by Tommi and those who wanted to pet him were allowed. Information about Tommi is on the back of a "baseball" card which is being sent home today with your child. Each child also received a sheriff's star sticker!
Our "resource" schedule will generally be as follows:
Monday - Music
Tuesday - No resource
Wednesday - Library has ended in PreK for the school year
Thursday - Computer
Friday - Mass; Physical Education
Reminders:
Your child needs bedding for rest time. This can be a blanket and travel size pillow, a favorite stuffed animal, etc. These items will remain at school for the week and be sent home on Fridays (or the last day of the week) to be laundered and returned on Mondays or the next school day. Please make sure you provide a change of clothing for your child in the event of an accident or illness.
Please make sure your child's name is clearly marked on all items.
PLEASE CHECK YOUR CHILD'S FOLDER DAILY FOR BEHAVIOR CALENDAR, PAPERS WHICH MAY NEED RETURNED, AND WORK COMPLETED BY YOUR CHILD.
