Information about the First Day of Preschool

I hope I have contacted all parents to confirm a current and active email. If we have not confirmed an email please email me at pkline@sjoa.org.

Butterflies Preschool class will meet Monday, August 31st for their first day.
Caterpillars meeting on Monday/Wednesday/Friday or Monday through Friday have their first day on Monday, August 31st also. This may have been confusing in the June 25th posting and letter.
Caterpillars coming only Tuesday/Thursday will begin on Tuesday, September 1st. PLEASE BRING YOUR CHILD TO THE CLASSROOM ON THE FIRST DAY.

After your child's first day you will drop your child off at the silver doors on the parking lot. One of us will be at the door to greet you.

Dismissal at 12:30 will be at this same door.

Dismissal at 3:00 P.M. will also be at the silver doors on the parking lot. ALL PRESCHOOL CHILDREN MUST BE secured in their carseats by 3:10. Once your child is secured in his/her seat you are free to leave the parking lot, HOWEVER, if you are picking up other students (PreKindergarten - 8th grade) you will remain in the lot with your car turned off. The upper grades will be dismissed at 3:15. You will leave the parking lot when motioned to leave by the teacher on duty. THESE NEW DISMISSAL PROCEDURES ARE IN PLACE FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL CHILDREN. PLEASE ADHERE TO THESE PROCEDURES.

If your child is staying for one or more afternoons from 12:30-3:00 please send a small blanket (LABELED) for his/her rest time.

PLEASE LABEL ALL ITEMS - lunchboxes, backpacks, blankets, etc. If you send items in the lunchbox you wish to be returned PLEASE LABEL! All thermos, containers, etc. We do our best to return item to the correct owner but it gets difficult with similar items that are in the lunchboxes!

You may also pack a change of clothes (LABELED) for your child if you think it may be necessary. If your child is still mastering potty training please let us know.

Please let us know any questions you may have about the first day of school or ANYTHING about the school year! Jeanne, Peggy J. and I have been working hard getting ready for the students. This year we are excited to have Gabie Young returning to help us on Monday and Friday mornings. She is attending graduate school at IUPUI in addition to working at SJA. Brigette Schutzman will be with us on Wednesday mornings.

Mark this page as a BOOKMARK on your computer!!!! Many more postings will come with pictures of the little ones during the preschool day!
