Dear Families,
We hope everyone had a good weekend. For the AM class; if there is an hour
delay, there WILL be AM preschool. If there is a two hour delay, there will be NO
morning preschool.
*** Please make sure you have sent in your home visit form and breakfast form
by tomorrow. We want to get the home visits scheduled before break, and we also need
to let Mr. Butch know how many need to be picked up and let the cafeteria know how
many to expect.
Mrs. Mayer will be having her Winter Program this Tuesday the 15th at 6:00 pm
for Preschool-2nd grade. Doors will open at 5:30 pm, and students will need to report to
their classroom by 5:45 pm. Preschool needs to wear a Holiday Outfit (red, green,
festive)
We are having our Holiday Breakfast this Thursday the 17th. There will be no
afternoon preschool that day because we will all be together at the same time. Don’t
forget to turn in your info by tomorrow.

*Don’t forget to check out the classroom blog: http://preschool-families.blogspot.com

(If you have misplaced your info about the breakfast or the Holiday program, you can
find these letters on our blog.)

We wish you and your family a very Happy Holiday! We’ll see everyone in 2010!!
