Hi CCP Family,
We did it! All classes have now experienced their first days of preschool for 2023-24! There were a few tears, but I anticipate these won’t last long. Adults, you handled the "good-byes" very well - positive, short, and sweet! Thank you for the trust you place in us! You have precious children and we feel very fortunate to have you as part of our school family. Each day will get easier!
Thank you for our warm “chalk welcome!” The teachers and students have enjoyed the great drawings and messages of encouragement.
The teachers know their students already, which is wonderful! Please give me a little grace to learn everyone’s names! I have 6 classes of students to learn and it may take me a while. Thanks!
We are missing a few forms. (We are required to collect new forms each year.) We will be in touch if you’re missing one of the following: health form, emergency contact form, or a photo permission form. Also, please make sure you have a weather-appropriate change of clothes at preschool. And thanks for bringing a water bottle and snack each day! Just be sure your child’s name is on everything you send to preschool
Ducks & MWF Ladybugs, I will be out of the office tomorrow, Friday, 9/8. Fortunately, Ms Melissa will be in the office taking care of preschool. (It’s rare for me to be away, but we have an important family event that I need to attend.) Thanks for understanding.
The key fobs seem to be working very well. Remember if you ever forget yours, just ring the bell and one of us will let you in. Here’s the fob schedule:
Arrival between 8:45-9:15 (Ducks & Ladybugs at 8:50, Whales & Frogs at 9:00)
Dismissal between 11:45-12:15 (Ducks & Ladybugs at 11:50, Whales & Frogs at 12:00)
Lunch days dismissal 12:45-1:15
If you have a grandparent or nanny that you would like to receive preschool communications, please provide the password & direct them to the website (www.christchurchpreschoolnc.com) the parent portal, and then the class pages - they can subscribe to the email notifications at the bottom right of each blog page. This will ensure that they receive the emailed blogs. Please note that they need to do this for EACH email notification they want to receive. So if they want to receive notifications from the director and a teacher, they would need to sign up on Debbie's blog page AND the class blog page.
Safekeepers (teachers), we have a staff meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 12 at 12:30.
I leave you with this quote from Amy Speidel (Loving Guidance Associate), "Our job is to be the mirror for children, reflecting their worth; what we reflect becomes what they believe about themselves."
Happy Grandparents' Day this Sunday!
I WISH YOU WELL!
Debbie
