                     Welcome to Pre-K

Teachers                     
 Mrs. Lesley McKinley –  Teacher
 Mrs. Ester Neira – Para-Professional


In Pre-K a close relationship between parents and teachers is extremely important to your child’s progress.  Please notify Mrs. McKinley if you have an urgent or pending question concerning your child.  You may leave a message with the office or send in a note that expresses your concerns.  Mrs. McKinley will respond back to you as quickly as possible.  We have listed some information below which we feel is essential in helping you and your child become familiar with Pre-K here at Robert Frost.

Supplies: 

One box of tissue
One ream of copy paper
Back pack
One jar of liquid soap (antibacterial)
One pocket folder

Dress:
Your child is to wear the correct school uniform daily.  If there is to be any special dress, you will be notified.  Black tennis shoes are helpful on P. E. days.

Personal Belongings: 

As it upsets children to lose their belongings, please help by labeling each article.  Self-care will also be emphasized at school.  Please help your child to learn to zip, button, tie, and put on his/her own clothing.  Since bathroom accidents do happen, please send in a change of underwear and pants (to be kept in the classroom) labeled with your child’s name.

Birthdays: 
In order to maximize instruction time, we ask that birthdays not be celebrated with a party at school.  Your child’s birthday will be acknowledged by his or her name being called during morning announcements, and by wearing a birthday ribbon all day.

Volunteers: 
We would like to invite you to help us this year.  This will involve chaperoning field trips, special projects, assistance in the classroom, and assisting at holiday parties.  If you can help, please let Mrs. McKinley know.  We will inform you as far in advance as possible.

Classroom Behavior: 
Please remind your child that school is a place to learn.  In order to learn, the children must listen and follow directions at all times.

Safety: 
To ensure the safety of our children, all parents and visitors must stop by the office for a visitor’s badge before coming to the classroom.  Please notify the school in writing if there is a change in how your child is to be dismissed.  If no written note is sent to the school, your child will be dismissed via his or her usual route.

Toys/Money: 

Please do not allow your child to bring toys or money to school unless requested by the teacher.  If your child is bringing lunch money or money for another reason, please enclose it in a sealed envelope labeled with your child’s name.  You should also include your child’s teacher’s name as well as the purpose for the money.

Take-Home Folders: 
Folders with your child’s work will be sent home every night.  Please monitor book bags each night to ensure notes from us or the school are received in a timely manner.

Report Cards/Conferences:
Report Cards in Pre-K are sent out twice per year.  Conference letters will be sent home at specific times during the school year.
