Welcome back to preschool! I hope that all of you had a wonderful and restful holiday. These last few months I have truly enjoyed getting to better know you and your children. That process will continue as I will be doing parent shares this month. (Please check dates below.) I will have chocolate and you will earn a parent ed credit. Of course there will be opportunity for your questions and sharing with your fellow parents.
Believe it or not, while we are still enjoying and working hard on this year, it is time to start thinking about the next year. Soon we will be selecting new board members and enrolling for the next school year. If your child will be “graduating” begin exploring ways to facilitate that process. (Take advantage of the Bates Kindergarten Panel - info below.) While you continue to get the most out this year, start planning on what will be happening next. Think about joining the board if you really want to understand the workings of your school and to make the most out of your participation. Ongoing information about what will occur will be coming in the days and weeks ahead.
Mark your calendars with these upcoming dates:
