~Preschool News~
What a busy month!! We can’t
believe September is already coming to close.
We have been very busy learning about the school rules and routines,
getting to know our new friends as well as getting re-acquainted with our old
friends, but most importantly we are having fun in PRESCHOOL!
For the last week of
September we will continue to focus on games and activities that involve
turn-taking, sharing and cooperative play.
Throughout the month of
October our theme will focus on “Fall Harvest
(Apples, pumpkins and fall changes)”.
Some of our fun fall activities will include: building scarecrows, harvest painting, pumpkin bowling and much, much more!!
Important School Information & Reminders
Screening
and Assessments
All
new students entering the ECDC will be screened using the Early Screening
Inventory-revised. (Students eligible for
this screening are 3 years-olds or young 4 year-olds who will attend the ECDC
for 2 years). This is a brief survey of
various areas of development including language, cognition, perception, and
motor development. The purpose of this
screening is to identify children who might need extra support with classroom
activities. Parents/guardians will be
informed, through a letter, about the screening results. If your child is eligible for the screening
you will receive an ESI-R Parent Questionnaire form. Screenings will begin the third week in
October.
If
you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask!
Forms
will be going home the second week of October.
ECDC Handbook
If you have any questions
about school or school rules/policies, please refer to our parent handbook. This
handbook is a great resource that provides information on many of our policies
and procedures for various issues.
You can also find the district’s school calendar and ECDC
calendar in the back of the handbook.
October Scholastic Book Orders will be going home next week...make sure to check your child's mailbox!
