We will be supporting our school ambassador Everleigh.

Students can participate in themed dress-up days by donating $1 per day or $5 for the entire week. All proceeds will support classroom Change Wars, with friendly competition across KindiePrep classes. The highest-earning classroom pod will win an extra dress-of-choice day.

CLASSROOM OBSERVERS

Over the next month or so, there may be trainers, professionals, and other teachers in your child's classroom. These individuals may be observing the teacher, the class as a whole, or an individual student. (There will not be a clinical observation of your student unless you have previously given us permission to do so.) If you have any questions about these observations please reach out to Sarah Redder.

GETTING TO SCHOOL ON TIME

PLEASE get your child to school on time. We are a school NOT a daycare, and the school day starts at 8:30am. It is extremely disruptive to the other students and the teacher when students continually roll in late to class. Your child also misses the morning work that is important to the fine motor and cognitive education. As your children get older, they will have to be in their seats by 8:05am, so set them up for success with a good, consistent morning routine.

EXTRACARE is FULL (Most Days)

We are still full in aftercare most days. Get your calendars in early to get your spot. If you need a day and it was full when you filled out your calendar please feel free to check with us the day leading up to that day and/or day of to see if someone has cancelled or called out sick.

FROM THE PTO: STOCK THE FRIDGE

The PTO does a wonderful job of spoiling the teachers. One of the things they do is accept donations of snacks for the teachers so they can keep up with children throughout the day. They have asked me to share the sign-up; therefore, if you would like to donate here is the link to sign up to bring certain items STOCK THE FRIDGE SIGN-UP - March. There will be a new sign-up for each month. If you choose to donate, please bring the items to the KindiePrep front office to drop off. Finally, please know how greatly appreciated these donations are to the teachers and staff. A kick of caffeine or a bag of Doritos can go a long way to keep the energy level up.

The PTO also plans a ton of fun events for families. Hopefully, you are receiving their newsletter, but if not you can visit their webpage. PTO Motsenbocker

REMINDERS

KINDIEPREP HOURS

KindiePrep school day hours are from 8:30am - 3:00pm. It is important for your child to be at school on time. Students arriving at school on time have the advantage of settling in, preparing their class materials, and focusing their minds on the day to come. Being late can also cause children to miss important information for the day. The doors to KindiePrep open at 8:15am giving families 15 minutes to get their student signed and settled in for the day. In the afternoon families have from 3:00pm to 3:15pm to pick up their children, unless they are signed up for extra-care. If children are not picked up by 3:15pm they will be put in extra-care and you will be charged $18.00 for their care. We will also call to inquire about your pick up plan. When picking up remember - NO PARKING IN VIP SPOTS OR ALONG THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING AFTER 3:15PM. If you are going to be in the KindiePrep building after 3:15pm you need to park in the parking lot. Thank you!

SIGNING CHILDREN IN AND OUT

You must sign your student in at drop-off and out at pick-up! This is a super important for many reasons. This is how we find out if your child does or does not need hot lunch each day. The state also requires that we maintain attendance records. Most importantly, it's for safety! We need to know who is in attendance so if something happens we know exactly who is here, where to find them and who to contact

REMEMBER – If carpool is actively moving when you arrive you must go through carpool. You cannot skip or go around carpool - EVER!
