Picture Retakes
Fall picture retakes will take place on Tuesday, December 7th. If your child was absent on picture day or you would like your child to have their picture retaken please let me know Tuesday Morning so I can send them to the school photographers. If you purchased a photo package you must return the ENTIRE package with all the pictures back to me. You will not receive your child’s new photos if the original pictures are not returned.
Drop-Off, Pick-Up, and Absence FAQ
I have had a few questions about drop-off and pick-up time, so I figured I would answer here incase other families had the same questions!
- Preschool Drop-Off – 8:35am at door #3; Rain or Shine, Sun or Snow. I am at the door from 8:35-8:45am for children to be signed in for the day. Please make sure to give yourself and your child plenty of time to get to school and walk to door #3. After 8:45am the door is locked and you must come in through the main office door. ALL parents entering the school after 8:45am MUST check in with the office and wear a mask. NO EXCEPTIONS! This is a State of Michigan requirement. If you do not have a mask you will not be able to enter the building to drop off your child.
- Preschool Pick-up – 3:20pm at door #3; Rain or Shine, Sun or Snow. I am at the door from 3:20-3:30pm for children to be picked up at the end of the day. Please make sure to give yourself plenty of time to get to school and walk to door #3, our parking lot is small and there are a lot of families waiting to pick up children. ALL children MUST be picked up by 3:30pm. NO EXCEPTIONS! Preschool children cannot wait for older Henry Ford siblings to be dismissed in the office.
- Preschool Absences – If your child is going to be absent from school please send me a message on remind to let me know. I can then put the absence into the computer as excused.
This Week in Our Classroom
Last week I introduced the classroom job chart, and this week the children have become pros at using it! I am so proud of how each student is remembering what their job is for the day, as well as helping other students complete their jobs. Currently the most popular jobs are; line leader, door holder, song book helper, bell ringer, and folder helper. It is wonderful to see the children being so independent! We also read the story “Good Night, Gorilla” and used blocks to build a zoo for the animals! When the children were done building we counted how many blocks they used altogether for their zoo, as well as used unfix cubes to measure how tall their structure was.
A Look Ahead…
