We are very short on snack. If you have not signed up for your 10 times, please do so. We have no one signed up for the rest of the week. Thanks in advance for helping out.
Good Morning!

Today your child will be bringing home a permission slip for our trip to Real Life Farm on May 11. We realize this is early to be collecting money and asking for permission slips. However, I reserved this trip a year ago. They fill up very fast, and want the money asap, since the waiting list to get in is very long. The money is due Friday, March 13. This is non-refundable and we can not take additions the closer the trip gets. We are going with the K and 1st grade classes. Please respond asap.
Reminder: this is the last week that your children have priority for next year’s preschool. Please register this week, as we are opening it up to the public next Monday. More information will be coming regarding kindergarten for next year.
Wow a big thank you to Mia and Arlo Graham’s families for decorating our door. What a beautiful job they did! We are getting so many compliments from both staff and students. We really appreciate it!
We are still looking for volunteers to come and read to the class or speak about their jobs. Please see a teacher, to choice a time and day.
Happy Tuesday!
Reading Month
March 2, 2020
Today your child will be bringing home a “passport book” and an explanation of the activities for March. Please make sure you read to your child at least 20 minutes per night.
We are also hoping some of you can be guest readers this month. Simply pick a book or two that you can read to the class.
Along with this we are starting Community Helpers. We are looking for people to do a short presentation on their occupation. If you can not do it, perhaps a friend or relative would be willing. This is a very fun time for the kids to have a visitor that they know in the classroom. They are very proud when someone they know volunteers. Please consider it.
Have a good Monday!
Good Morning!

Please remember this week is the LAST week to register if your child is returning to preschool. We have coupons, so your deposit will only be $175. Next week, starting March 9, we open registration to the outside.
Scholastic Book Club orders are due this Friday, March 6. March is “reading month” so this is a perfect time to purchase some new books.
We are still looking for guest readers, and people to come in to talk about their occupations. Please let us know so we can pick out a convenient day and time for you.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Spring is right around the corner! 🌷
Enrollment
February 25, 2020
We are currently accepting preschool enrollment for next year. We have the registration forms and the packets. We also have the $25 off coupon. This means your deposit will only be $175. This amount can be paid with personal check, cashier’s check, or money order made out to Dearborn Public Schools.
Mia’s mom has also volunteered to help decorate our door. Thank you to the moms of Mia, Arlo Graham, and Ali. I am hoping they will be able to meet together and coordinate something. We really appreciate you doing this.
Thank you very much to Ali and Arlo Graham’s moms. They have volunteered to decorate our door. Very nice of them!

Good Evening
February 23, 2020
I hope everyone had a great break. I was not only very productive but spent nice time with family.
Wow can’t believe March is almost upon us. It will be a very busy month. First of all we will be taking registrations for next year’s preschool starting this week. We will keep you posted as to when the kindergarten lottery will be. Please register for preschool as soon as possible, since new families will enroll starting March 9. Tuition will remain the same, NO increase!
March is also reading month. This year’s theme is “Books Around The World.” Each class has chosen a book from a different country. We chose Ireland, and our book will be “Jamie O’Rourke And The Big Potato.” There is a contest for the best decorated door in the school. The winning class will receive a pizza party paid for by P.T.A. The committee is asking that parents help with the door. So if a couple parents can help, we would really appreciate it. If you need to borrow the book for ideas, we can lend it. We can also help provide the paper and other decor, we just need your artistic ideas.
There will be reading logs to fill out and send back each Monday. The students should have 20 minutes of reading each night. When the log is turned in, they will get a participation ticket. This enters them into a bike drawing. There will be one girl’s bike, and one boy’s bike. Parents can also sign up with us to come in and read a book or two to the class, at their convenience. Kids always love when a parent or relative does this. Let’s have great parental and student participation! It would be nice to win the door competition or see one of our kids win a bike!
I also do a Community Helpers unit in March.We will be talking about different occupations. In the past we have had parents come in to do a short presentation about their jobs. Again, the kids are always proud when a parent can do this. Please consider a short presentation regarding your occupation. Let us know when so you may sign up for that also.
Please remember to not only bring in rest items tomorrow but an extra change of clothes.
Enjoy the rest of your evening!
Happy Valentine’s Day
February 14, 2020
Thank you very much to everyone for your gifts. We really feel special to receive candy, cards, presents, and gift cards. The kindness is so very much appreciated.
Today the school has been asked to have a “locker clean out’. Your child will be bringing home everything in the locker. Please remember when we return from break to bring back extra clothes.
I hope everyone has a safe and fun break. Stay warm!
