Dear Families,
We hope you enjoyed your weekend. To get ready for summer we’re talking about ocean animals
this week and dramatic play will turn into the beach! You may be curious about the t-shirts in your child’s
backpack last week. Each year, PTA purchases each student a t-shirt during testing. We wear them
everyday to show our support for all of the older students testing, and then we send them home at the end
of testing.
Don’t forget to set up a conference if you’re wanting to discuss your child’s progress or talk
about any concerns you may have. Also, we need your breakfast forms by next week. Please return as
soon as possible.
We are going to have our end of the year breakfast on June 8th. Both classes will come in the
morning for some family activities, breakfast, performance, and a slideshow. There will NOT be
afternoon preschool that day since we will all be together in the morning. We are enclosing a form to fill
out for the breakfast so please make sure to fill it out and return by June 1st.
Important Dates:
May 28th and June 4th- Preschool screening (don’t have to rescreen your child if
returning)
May 31st- No School (Memorial Day)
June 8th- Last Day of Preschool/Preschool Breakfast at 8:15am

Have a great week!

Ms. Sara, Ms. Mary and Ms. Teresa 

*Please remember to return your library book.
