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!
