Hello Families!
April is here and hopefully we are done with the showers; we have had so much rain and are looking forward to some sunny spring days!
We had such a busy March; we had the Irish Dancers for St. Patrick’s Day, Fire Department Assembly, Sheriff Department and an Easter Egg Hunt.
This month we have a library field trip, and Western Day! The Lakeside Rodeo will be coming to visit on Western Day, make sure to wear your western gear!
The Parent Open House will be rescheduled to May 2nd. This will be an opportunity for your children to show you their classroom and the work they have been doing.

A few reminders…
- When signing your child in or out please remember to do it daily and use full signatures. The person signing your child in or out needs to be over 18 years of age. The sign in/out sheets are legal documents; please don’t let your child “sign” on them.
- Please remember to drive slowly around the preschool. There are private houses and retirement houses around us; someone is always walking.
- Scrip Gift Cards are a new way to fundraise for our school, we are going to be installing security cameras with the funds that we collect. The church has been putting the money they have collected for the last two months towards our preschool, so we already have a jump start.

ILLNESS POLICY:
If your child has a fever, vomits or has diarrhea at school or home, they may not return to school for 24 hours after the symptoms are gone.It is very important to keep your child home if they are not feeling well. If you have any doubts it is better to keep your child home one more day than to send then to school when they are not quite up to it. If your child has conjunctivitis (pink eye) they may not return to school until they have received antibiotic treatment for 24 hours. Remember good handwashing is very effective in keeping disease from spreading. Our policy will cut down on the transition of disease to other children, and our staff.
EMERGENCY INFORMATION
If anything has changed with your emergency or contact information, please contact the Preschool Office so we can update and be sure we have your correct information. When a little one is ill, time is of the essence in trying to reach a parent. In addition, if working, please leave-detailed instructions if needed to make it easier for us to contact you at work. Cell phones are not always reliable. We need a backup way to reach you.
