Hello CCP Families,
Welcome to Christ Church Preschool! We are so glad you have chosen to join our little family. I will send you information about preschool events and reminders in my blog post. Every Thursday at 7:00pm you will receive an email notice that I’ve posted new info for you. Please take a few minutes to read it and mark your calendars.
From the emailed notification, you can click into the website using the password you received at parent orientation. Be sure to take this extra step because you will be able to see photos of classroom activities. Please remember, if you pull a photo from the website, please do NOT post it on any social media or any public space. These are only for families, so you can enjoy seeing your child at preschool.
In my blog, I will also share tidbits from Dr. Becky Bailey’s Conscious Discipline. We use Conscious Discipline strategies and techniques to help our students learn self-regulation. I shared some of this at Orientation and will continue to share more each week.
All classes have now experienced their first days of preschool for 2025-26! 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!
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!
Anyone else feel me on this one?
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 nut-free and sesame-free snack each day! Just be sure your child’s name is on everything you send to preschool.
FOBS
We have had some issues with fobs this week, but we think the problem is remedied (thank you for your patience and grace!). Remember if you ever forget your fob, just ring the bell to the right of the door and one of us will let you in. Here’s the fob schedule:
Classes begin at 9:00 you may arrive between 8:50-9:10
Dismissal is at noon (key fobs will work from 11:50 - 12:10)
Lunch days dismissal is at 1:00 (key fobs will work from 12:50-1:10)
I’d like to leave you with this quote, “A teacher plants the seeds of knowledge, sprinkles them with love, and patiently nurtures their growth.” – Unknown
Here’s to a year of watching this take place!
Peace,
Ms. Shelly
