BIRTHDAYS!
We LOVE birthdays in PreK! We love special birthday snacks, too! If you wish, you may send a special snack to school for your child's birthday. If you have questions about appropriate snacks please contact me.
Please do not send cupcakes of any kind or size - I have been teaching Pre-K long enough to tell you the children do NOT eat them at school.
We have a few children who share birthdays this year so please check the monthly calendar to see when we will sing to your child - that is the day you should send in the birthday treat.
REMINDERS:
Bedding is sent home on Fridays to be laundered and returned on the next school day. Your child's name should be on EVERYTHING. Backpacks and folders should be checked every evening for information and projects; folders should be returned to school in backpacks every morning.
Any time there is a transportation change you must notify Denise in the school office at 717-854-8263 or schooloffice@htcsyork.org BEFORE 2:00 p.m.
You may also email me at kjavitt@htcsyork.org
ILLNESSES/NOT FEELING WELL :
Please do not force your child to attend Pre-K if he/she is not feeling well. Remember, it is only Pre-K; it is NOT a final exam in high school or college! Those days will be here soon enough.
As a rule, children must be fever-free for 24 hours WITHOUT ASSISTANCE FROM TYLENOL, IBUPROFEN, ETC. before returning to school. The 24 hour rule also applies to instances of vomiting and diarrhea.
I will always contact you by email if I have a question or concern.
If you have any questions or concerns please send an email to kjavitt@htcsyork.org
Finally, remember to read to your child and say prayers with him/her before tucking into bed! Establishing good routines at home prepares your child to be successful in school and in life.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Javitt
