Back to School Parent Orientation Meeting: August 24

  • Posted on August 18, 2011 at 9:14 am

The beginning of the 2011-2012 school year is just around the corner! The teachers, Board Members, and I have been planning another exciting and busy year for you and your child. We’re eager to share those plans and all the information you’ll need with you next week at the Parent Orientation Meeting: Wednesday, August 24 at 6pm or 6:30pm.

This meeting will be held at the school and one adult representative from each family must attend.  If your child is registered for classes on T/Th or T/Th/F, the meeting wil begin at 6pm in the Live Oak Cafe, which is located directly next door to the school on the east side, attached to the church.  The Board Members and I will be discussing school policies and fundraising plans for the year.  Next you will move over into the classrooms to meet with your child’s teacher.  The teachers will be discussing classroom organization, curriculum, Level 1 working parent expectations, and other important information. If your child is registered for M/W or M/W/F classes, please arrive at 6:30pm in the Live Oak Cafe where you will meet with myself and the Board before moving into the classrooms with the teachers. This evening is for parents only. It is a great time to learn about the preschool program, meet the teachers, and check out the classrooms.

In addition, all parents will need to sign up for a job at the first School Clean Up Day on Saturday, August 27th before leaving the Orientation Meeting. We will be discussing Clean Up Days and all of the other participation requirements at the meeting so bring any questions you may have.

Lastly, a reminder of the required paperwork we must have in the office before your child begins school: Physician’s Report and a copy of their Immunization Record; TB test results and copies of your driver’s license and current proof of insurance if you are a Level 1 Working Parent (or plan to drive on any field trips).  All of our school registration forms are accessible online under Forms.

As always, please feel free to contact me any time with questions:  238-5059 or director@pasoroblescooppreschool.com.  I look forward to seeing you next week and the start of another wonderful Coop year!

Mandatory Parent Meeting: Thursday, March 10, 6:30pm

  • Posted on March 3, 2011 at 9:30 pm

Just a reminder that there is a MANDATORY parent meeting coming up! It is scheduled for Thursday, March 10, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. There are a number of important issues that will be discussed so it is important that we see all of you there!

At the meeting we will be voting to approve the bylaws for the year. Please review them prior to the meeting so you will be prepared to approve them. They are posted at the school and were sent out this week via email. If you have any questions regarding the bylaws, please contact any member of the Board of Directors or Mary Cramer.

Our Spring Fundraiser will be one of the main discussion points at the parent meeting. Lots of important information will be given out so be sure to be there. We have decided to have a Spring Picnic! This event is set for Saturday, May 14, 2011. At the parent meeting you will be given information on what is required of you as well as being able to sign up for your working shift. Working shifts will vary from providing bake sale or auction items to working at the event to assisting with set up/clean up. Parents will be allowed to sign up on a first come, first serve basis.

We will be implementing a new system for job sign up: when you arrive at the meeting and sign in, you will be given a number which will correspond to the order that you will be called to choose your job. We will start handing out numbers 10 minutes prior to the start of the meeting! Be assured that the Board of Directors has worked hard to keep all requirements for this fundraiser as simple as possible. Please direct any specific questions about this process or the fundraiser itself to Shannon Gann (cell: 471-3676, email: ag1130@wildblue.net, or MWF Mrs. Burrows’ class)

We will also be discussing registration for next year so be sure not to miss this meeting!

Thanks to All for a Great Clean Up Day!

I just wanted to pass on a big THANK YOU for everyone’s hard work on Saturday. The school looks great! And on a personal note, I completely appreciate the Bourgault family taking over light removal duty – a ladder with a kid strapped to your back just isn’t easy!

February is coming up and is full of field trips, holidays, parties, and of course, the BOARD MEETING. We will finalize 2011-12 contracts, tuition rates, by-laws, and the parent handbook (all will be voted on at the March Parent Meeting). We will also be discussing…yes, the spring fundraiser. We’d love to have you attend – February 9th at 6:00 p.m. or drop us a note or email about any questions or concerns you have.

Thanks again for a fabulous Clean-Up Saturday!

Holiday Reminders

  • Posted on November 29, 2010 at 9:54 am

Ho-ho-ho! The holiday season is upon us already and we have just a few reminders:

Time of Giving

Mrs. DeBellis is heading up PRCP’s annual food drive for the Paso Robles Food Bank Coalition. As part of our children’s curriculum, they are learning about giving, gifting, and taking care of others. PRCP would like to “beat the kids’ weight in food.” We can do it!

Please have your child bring in food donations to PRCP by December 1st so we can deliver the food to the Food Bank the second week of December. There is a bin on the front porch ready for those food donations! The Food Bank feeds over 16,000 children in San Luis Obispo County – let’s help them!

Board Meeting: Wed, December 8 at 6pm

On the agenda for the next PRCP Board Meeting will be the revamped Spring Fundraiser and the Tuition Schedule for 2011-12. If you have any questions or comments on these or any other preschool business, please feel free to attend the board meeting or send an email to Mary Cramer or any board member.

Holiday Concert: Friday, December 17 at 6:30pm

Our holiday concert is scheduled for Friday, Dec 17. at 6:30pm in the Live Oak Church & Cafe next to the school. This is a lovely evening of holiday song and refreshments. All are welcome.

School Clean Up Day (Entering Pre-K Families)

  • Posted on August 10, 2010 at 9:57 am

Saturday, August 28 at 8:30am is the semi-annual school clean up day for the entering Pre-K class families. We will all pitch in to get our school in top shape for the new school year. Sign up for specific jobs will be available at the Parent Orentation Meeting on Aug 25.

Cleaning supplies will be provided but as always feel free to bring from home whatever might make the job easier. One representative from each family is required to attend.

Welcome Back!

The beginning of the 2010-2011 school year is just around the corner.  I want to welcome back our returning families and extend a warm welcome to all of the new families joining us this year.  I look forward to seeing the many familiar faces and meeting new ones at our Parent Orientation meeting on August 25.  The teachers and Board members have been busy planning for the new year and are excited about the many fun things happening at PRCP. 

Parent Orientation is a great time to find out all about our preschool program, meet the teachers, check out the classrooms and answer any questions you may have.  One adult representative from each family must attend this meeting.  The Board members and I will be discussing school policies and fundraising plans for the year. 

This year we are altering the schedule slightly to stagger the group: parents of children attending on M/W or M/W/F will meet with us in the church cafe at 6pm until about 6:30pm, then move into the classrooms with their respective teachers.  The parents of children attending on T/H or T/TH/F will meet in the cafe at 6:30pm then move into the classrooms at around 7pm.   See you then!
