Welcome to Good Shepherd Pre-k!

The first day of school is on Wednesday, August 17.  The school is open for visit with parents, students and teachers.  On this day students will become familiar with their classroom and teachers.  Parents will make sure all the paperwork is turned it. Please let me know if you have any questions before hand.  All students need to have a current (less than a year old), negative TB test result on file prior to August 17.

Thursday, August 18 will be the first day when you can drop your child off between the hours 7:30 and 12:30, the same on Friday, August 19. The following week we are open regular hours, 7:30-3:15, and after school care will be available until 6:00pm.  We want all children to be at school ready to start at 8:45am.  If you don’t feel ready to leave your child you are welcome to stay and leave with your child 11am, until you feel your child can be without you.  Sending a toy or a family picture may help the first days.  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, preschool_director@goodshepherdbeverlyhills.com.

The school website has a tab with the calendar for each month and it is updated as we know activities are happening.  Please check it out: http://goodshepherdbeverlyhills.com/welcome/events/upcoming/.  For those of you that need to go through virtus training there is an opportunity to do that on August 11. All parents helping out with activities at the school NEED to be VIRUS trained and leave a certificate with me as a proof.

Here are the items the students need to bring in the first day of school:

  • One tissue box in September and one in January
  • One box baby wipes
  • Construction paper: 12 x 8 and 12 x 18 of all colors
  • Tissue paper of all colors
  • 2 Elmer’s school glue-liquid (white)
  • 4 Elmer’s stick glue (white)

The following is always appreciated:

  • felt, ribbons, yarn, buttons, googly eyes, tongue compressors, etc.

 

All students need to have a set of clean clothes in their cubby at all times including:

  • Underwear
  • Socks
  • Pants (preferably dark blue, but any dark color is acceptable)
  • T-shirt (gray or white)
  • A thin blanket for rest time (will be sent home weekly for wash- not needed until Monday, Aug. 22- no pillows or bulky items- everything needs to fit in the cubby box.)

You can alos find the list here: http://goodshepherdbeverlyhills.com/welcome/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/PreK_supply_list.pdf

Please check back on the blog often. It is our main form of communication.

 

All the best to all of you,
