And...We're Off!

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, or take one at a CCP event, 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.

All classes have now experienced their first days of preschool for 2026-27!  There were only 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 believe I know all of the children’s names but keep in mind there are at least 140ish parents. Thanks!

Anyone else feel me on this one?

SPIRIT WEAR

Please remember to order your spirit wear using the information you were given at Orientation. There are also some sheets above the cubbies with the QR code. As soon as the shirts are delivered, we will have some Spirit Days where everyone can wear their new school shirts! You may not realize, but all schools have to fund-raise. Our method is a tax-deductible donation. You may make a donation on the shirt website using your credit/debit card. This donation IS our fundraiser for this year. Many families say they prefer this to selling or collecting. Thank you kindly for your generosity.

Are you a mom of young children who has been wishing for some more mom friends / a community of other supportive moms? A MomCo (Mom Community) meet-up is coming to CUMC! Please consider joining this group on most 2nd & 4th Mondays of the month, beginning September 14th, from 9:30 - 11 am in Building 105 (CUMC’s office building) to get to know other local moms, discuss relevant parenting topics, and support one another as you journey together through motherhood. Childcare is provided.

FORMS

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 no issues with our fobs so far. 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 8:55-9:10

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)

Lastly, thank you all for the cards, thoughtful gifts, and well wishes this past week for my birthday. 🎂🎉 They absolutely made ticking off another decade so much more fun and I was so blessed!


I’d like to leave you with this quote, “A teacher plants seeds that grow forever.” Unknown

Every year this is so beautiful to watch!


Peace,

Ms. Shelly
