Hi CCP Family,
We did it! All classes have now experienced their first days of preschool for 2024-25! 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!
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
We had a little issue with the key fobs today. We have a meeting tomorrow to try to get that issue resolved. Hopefully by next week, the doors will all work smoothly. 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)
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.
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.
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
