This is a chance for your child to meet his or her new teacher, to become familiar with the new classroom, and to meet classmates. We have found this to be a great way for the children to feel comfortable on their first day of school whether they are returning students, or are new to the Preschool. There will be other opportunities throughout the year for you, as parents, to meet your child’s teacher on a more personal level, and to be able to discuss classroom issues and curriculum.
*All teacher/class assignments will be announced via postcard sent to you towards the end of August.
A CHANGE OF CLOTHES |
On the first day of school, we request that every child has an adequate supply of extra clothing, large enough to fit your child for the entire year, stored in a ziplock bag and left in your child's cuuby.
Please label both sides of the zip lock bag in large letters, and be sure to label the clothes so they don't get lost. You can order labels here: www.oliverslabels.com/ptspreschool Remember to replace these items as they are used. Please include the following items:
|
EMERGENCY SUPPLIES |
Each child must provide supplies in case of emergency evacuation.

PLEASE BRING SUPPLIES TO THE PRESCHOOL OFFICE |
NUT-FREE LUNCHES |
Children need to bring a healthy lunch each day. Please make sure that you provide a balanced nutritious lunch in a properly insulated lunch bag or lunch box.
|
PERSONALIZING
|
Our preschool families traditionally decorate the students cubbies with a few family photos.
Please bring in copies of your favorite photos on meet my Teacher Day. You and your child will tape the pictures in their cubby together. This will also help your child to identify his/her cubby. Be sure to write your family name on the back of the picture. You may remove your picture on the last day of school. |
ENTERING AND EXITING
|
You and your child(ren) will be greeted at the preschool entrance each morning at 9:00 a.m. Please do not enter the school before this time. (children enrolled in the morning extended program should arrive by 8:45am)
All children not signed up for the afternoon extended program must leave the school at 1pm. We need to enforce this rule for the safety and proper supervision of extended program children. |
SIGN IN/OUT REGULATIONS |
State regulations require that every child be signed in/out by an adult authorized to call for him/her. Authorized adults are those listed on your Emergency Form. Otherwise, sign the binder on Kim’s desk for Authorized Person to pick up your child. Verbal authorization may be given in an emergency situation only. You may sign your first initial, but licensing requires that you sign your full last name when signing your child in and out.
The Sign-in/out board will be located at the Preschool entrance. |
NAPS |
Children staying after school and scheduled to nap, will be collected from their classroom by a teacher at 12:45/ 1pm. They will then all nap together in a quiet room and will be provided with a cot.
|
PARENT BAGEL NOSH |
After dropping off the kids, join fellow parents and PTO members in the parking lot. We'll be on hand to offer hugs, tissue boxes, coffee, bagels and opportunities to sign up to volunteer for the year.
PTS Preschool request that each family commits to at least 3 hours of volunteer activities per year. Volunteering directly enriches your child’s school experience, builds community among the school families, and we guarantee the glee on your child's face seeing you at school will make it all worth it! Some examples of volunteering opportunities include:
