Just a few housekeeping things.

Please remember tuition is due Sept 11th. Checks and payment envelopes can be dropped into the mailbox just inside the preschool entrance. Cash and payment envelopes should be brought to the office for a reciept.
We are a nut-free school! All classrooms have refrigerators, so string cheese, yogurt and fresh fruit can be sent it and remain cold until snack time.
Paperwork ~ please make sure you get your child's physical and shot record as soon as possible. Our licensing does allow 30 days from the program start, but once that hits your child will not be able to return until the form is turned in.
We do have a $60 supply fee that is due by November. This is a one time yearly fee to help us cover items such as glue, construction paper etc.
Chipotle night is scheduled for Tuesday, September 15th from 4-8. If ordering online, please use the code: TDALN2P. This is the Beavercreek location near Walmart.
We also have an Amazon wish list. Here is the QR code:

My name is Carol Boersma. This is my 7th year as director of Spin Kemp. I have had 3 out of 4 children come through this preschool. My husband retired from the Air Force back in 2017. In 2019, we made Beavercreek our forever home. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education from Trocaire College (Buffalo, NY). I have worked in a few different style centers until our oldest was born. I was a stay-at-home mom for many years until I began subbing in 2018. My door is always open if you ever need to chat! Mrs. Linden is our PreK teacher. She was previously an aide in the PreK along with being a lead teacher in our Early Beginner class. It's great to have her back!
     Mrs. Clark is the aide in the PreK class. She has been with us since 2024. She is super creative!
     Mrs. Spencer is our Middler teacher. This is her first year with us. She comes with tons of experience and oodles of creativity!
     Finally, we have some amazing substitutes to our preschool! Miss. Schroder and Mrs. McElroy are our 2 main subs that you may see this school year.
     We hope everyone has a great year!

Mrs. Spencer Middler's Class

Hello! Welcome to The Middlers Preschool Class. My name is Jessica Spencer. This is my first year teaching at Spin Kemp Preschool. I have worked in childcare for several years in the past and spent time working in the medical field. My husband and I have a blended family with 4 children, and we are very family-oriented. I'm excited to meet your child and have a great year teaching them here at SpinKemp!
     For the month of September, we will be getting used to a regular routine and potty breaks. We are also going to focus on getting to know each other, classroom rules, learning to write our names, and getting familiar with the alphabet. Later in the month, we will have a show and tell day and a carnival-themed week! We are going to be practicing cutting and gluing with various crafts, and we will explore other senses through taste testing!
     Please feel free to ask me questions in person or contact me through ClassDojo. I will be sending weekly updates and pictures throughout the year.

Mrs. Linden and Mrs. Clark Pre-K

     Welcome to Pre-K!  We are excited to finally begin our year together.
These first few weeks will be all about getting to know each other, making new friends, and learning the ins and outs of our school day. We’ll be diving into \ some fun themes like Colors, All About Me, and Apples, and of course start making our way through the alphabet. The plan is to start with capital letters, initially ones that are made with straight lines, then move on to ones with curves, and eventually diagonals.
     We hope September brings lots of beautiful weather so we can enjoy playing outside! Be sure to join ClassDojo so you can see what we’re up to and catch some of the fun along the way. If you ever have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to either of us. Thanks for sharing your little one -- we’re so excited for a great year together!

Hello Parents,

     I can’t believe we are in the last month of school.
It’s been a joy to watch your kids grow over the school year. We have officially gone through the whole alphabet. We will continue reviewing letters, shapes, and numbers.
We are learning about caterpillars and how they turn into butterflies.
     Trike A Thon is Monday, May 4th. Please bring a helmet. We do not have any extras. Your child can bring a scooter if they want to, instead of a bike.
     May 8th is Muffins with Mom at 11:30.
     Field Day is May 11th, and the last day of school is Wednesday, May 20th. I will not be here on the last day of school. My kids get out that day as well, and they are in the awards ceremonies
in the morning.
     If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me on ClassDojo.

Hello parents,

     As we are coming to the end of the year we still have a couple of letters left Y & X. We will continue with numbers 24 & 25. We will talk about numbers 26-30 briefly.
     Trike-a-Thon, Muffins with Mom, Field Day, Librarian, and the Last Day Luau. make for a busy May.
     Happy End of the school year!!!!

Thank you and God Bless,

Miss. Schroder

Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Clark

     It is hard to believe that we are now at the end of the school year, but here we are! It feels like just yesterday we started school. The kids have all grown so much and exceeded all expectations. We are incredibly proud of each kid.
     This month is going to be in full-blown cheetah speed (I use this term with the kids and my own kids) with something going on every week of the month. We will be starting with Muffins with Mom, then Field Day, Preschool graduation, and last, our Last Day Luau Party. I cannot stress this enough, but please keep an eye on Class Dojo in the next couple of weeks. A lot of information will be on there for you.
     We will be finishing up our alphabet and our numbers up to 25, as well as adding in weeks
of review. We will continue to work on other concepts – simple adding, sequencing, comparing, patterns, rhyming, etc. The kids have proved repeatedly that they are ready for kindergarten in the fall, and while we are sad to see them leave, we are also excited for their new adventures and all the new knowledge they will gain.
     As we are at the end of the year, we want to take this opportunity to thank you,
the parents.
You have supported the kids throughout the year, and we are incredibly grateful for that. Thank you for coming together with us to make sure the kids are fully prepared for kindergarten. We would not be as successful as we are without you. So, thank you for all you have done this school year.
With a Grateful Heart,

Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Clark

How is it April already? This school year has flown by so fast. The next few weeks will also zoom right by us!

A few reminders:

Egg Hunt is scheduled for Wednesday, April 1st.
Tuition is due on Tuesday, April 7th.
No school on Friday, April 3rd and Monday, April 6th in observance

of Easter.

Pre-K graduation cupcake count is due by Friday, April 17th. We allow the students' immediate family (mom, dad, siblings) and 2 guests. (This is for students in Ms. Nowak’s pre-k class)
Our trike-a-thon is scheduled for Monday, May 4th. Each child will bring in their own bike and helmet. Please don’t go out to purchase a bike if your child doesn’t own one. We have our bikes here that they can use. We want them to be comfortable with what they are riding. Each child does need their own helmet; we do not have spares. Each year for the trike-a-thon, we raise money for the Ronald McDonald House and SICSA. We split the donations between the two organizations. We can take cash or checks. We also take canned food donations for the church’s food pantry during this event. Keep an eye out for DOJO volunteer opportunities or to watch the kids ride.

Happy Easter!!

      Happy Spring! I’m not sure about you, but I am ready for the warmer weather to be here.    Please remember that while the weather is warming up, please continue to have the students bring light jackets or a hoodie. When we have our scheduled playtime, it can still be a little chilly and I would like to get the kids outside as much as possible.
     We will be getting into the full swing of things as we prepare to close out this school year (it will be here before any of us realizes it!). A lot of updates will be on Class Dojo throughout the month.
     Easter egg Hunt on Wednesday, April 1st, with No School on Friday, April 3rd and Monday,
April 6th.
     We will be tie-dyeing t-shirts on Monday, April 27, for our Field Day in May.
     We will be continuing our letters and will be finishing our numbers. We will be having more review weeks as well as working on missing letters/numbers, simple math, beginning sounds, rhyming, etc.

     On a personal note (from Ms. Nowak), April is Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month. As you might know, my son is Autistic (and ADHD, OCD, SPD, among some others), so this month is very personal and special to me. Awareness and acceptance are two very separate things. Awareness is easy – you acknowledge someone is different from you and move on. Acceptance takes intentional work and effort. Acceptance comes from a place of understanding – understanding that another classmate or person is different from you but still asking to play with them (or them with you), sitting with them at lunch and talking, just being a good friend to them, and including them.
     As I have found through my son’s experiences, many school kids have a lack of knowledge about disorders such as Autism, and that lack of knowledge can lead to bullying or singling someone out, all because they are the “weird kid.” As adults, we are aware of such disorders, but we often forget to talk to our children about them. As we go through this month, I urge you to talk to your children. Inform them. Educate them. Encourage them to be kind to the “weird kid”. Encourage them to be kind to everyone, even when their likes don’t align.
     Talk to them and reassure them that it is OK for people to be different and develop differently.    Not one child is the same, whether you are neurotypical or not, and that is what makes living in this world an amazing place. Sometimes the best friendships are formed through the least expected channels, with risks being taken.
     If you have any questions, I am always willing to talk. I don’t have all the right answers, but I can definitely share my family’s story. There is a meme on Facebook that says, “I am not an expert on autism. I am an expert on MY CHILD with autism” and that is 100% correct.

“I do not suffer from Autism, but I do suffer from the way you treat me.” - Tyler Durdin

“I don’t talk about Autism for sympathy or pity. I talk about Autism to spread awareness and acceptance for those children and adults that are just as important as you or me.”

Joyfully,

Hello parents,
It’s been a wild winter, and I’m looking forward to spring and getting outside. We are continuing to work on our letters, numbers, and shapes. We have begun tracing names. We are learning about Jericho during our Bible story time. Spring break starts on March 23rd. We return to school on March 30th. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me on ClassDojo.

I will be out the first week of March. Mrs. Linden will be subbing for me on the 2nd and 4th. Mrs. Clark will sub on the 6th.

Mrs. Heatherly

Ms. Schroder's Middler’s
We will continue with our letters B, Q, J, & Z numbers 18, 19, & 20. This month we will have our Leprechaun Hunt.
Spring Break is March 23 through March 27, with students returning March 30.

God Bless,

Ms. Schroder

Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Clark Pe-K Class

We are progressing nicely through our alphabet and numbers. We will continue to work reviewing what we have learned, but also some new concepts (sequencing, rhyming, missing numbers). After going through the assessments, we will be adjusting our weekly worksheets to do some reviewing while learning new numbers and letters.

Mid-March will bring us a Leprechaun Hunt for St. Patrick’s Day and then Spring Break. I have a feeling March is going to zoom past us in no time with so much going on. It is still cold outside, so keep packing those sweaters in the kids’ bags in case they get chilly in the classroom. If it does start to get nicer later in the month, I would like to get them back outside, and they will need light jackets for that.

I know this may seem like I’m jumping ahead, but the end of the year will be here before we know it. There is so much going on in the remaining months, and they will fly by. It doesn’t seem like we should be here already, but we are. The kids really have done amazingly well with everything, and I know a lot of that is thanks to the parents. We really appreciate all the work you do at home to reiterate what we are doing in the classroom. As I said at the beginning of the year, we are all a team – working together to make sure your child succeeds. So, with the end of the year quickly approaching, let’s keep the momentum going!!

Much Love,
Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Clark

February is a short month here at the preschool. We have a lot going on, in a short amount of time. Here are a few reminders of what is coming up.

Tuition is due on Thursday, February 5th.
Valentine parties will be held on Wednesday, February 11th
Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for Thursday, the 12th, and Friday the 13th. Students DO NOT have school on those days. If you need to bring your child to the conference, just let us know, so that can set out some toys to occupy them. Please see your teacher’s bulletin boards to sign up for a time slot.
No school on Monday, February 16th due to Presidents Day.
Fall 2026 enrollment starts during conference week. If your child is returning in the fall, please fill out the yellow continuation form. A $50 non-refundable fee is also due to secure your spot. We will open registration to the general public on March 2nd. So, if you know anyone looking to enroll, send them our way.

Please be aware that House Bill 114 was passed in December regarding kindergarten enrollment. Children must be 5 by the first day of school. They have done away with districts, setting their own cutoff dates.
We would like to announce that Spinning Road Baptist Church has a new Pastor. Pastor Elliott comes to us from California with his family. The doors are always open here if you are looking for a church home. Services are held on Sunday mornings at 10:30 and Sunday evenings at 7 pm. Sunday school classes meet at 9:15.

Hello parents,
     It’s been great having the kiddos back. We are continuing to work on our letters, numbers, and shapes. We are going to start tracing our names soon.
     We are reading the book of Genesis and learning how God created the earth.
    We will be having our Valentine's party on Wednesday, February 11th. The kids will make bags in class. We ask each kid to bring in 5 signed Valentine cards to exchange. Please make sure to still pack a snack that day.
     Parent-teacher conferences will be held on Thursday, February 12th. I will have a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board in a couple of weeks. There will be no school on Friday, February 13th or Monday, February 16th.
     If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me on class dojo.

Thank you,
Mrs. Heatherly

Miss Schroder’s Middlers

Happy February!
     As we continue the school year, we will focus on the letters G, L, & F; numbers 15 through 17.
     Valentine’s Party is on Wednesday, February 11. Your children are allowed to bring Valentine’s to pass out.
     Parent-Teacher Conferences are on Thursday and Friday, February 12 & 13. There will be a sign-up for them. Please make sure to pick a day that works best for you. We can do Conferences over the phone, just indicate which one you would like.
     The following Monday, February 16, is Presidents’ Day, and there is no school. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask or message through Class Dojo.
Thank you and God Bless!!
Miss. Schroder

Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Clark's Pre-K

     Happy Valentine’s! It’s hard to believe we are heading into February already, but here
we are.
     We are going to start getting busy again. This month will probably go by very quickly with a lot of things planned. I will be starting the month by doing individual assessments on the kids to prepare for our parent-teacher conferences in mid-February.
     We will have our Valentine’s Day Party on Wednesday, the 11th. The kids will be exchanging Valentine’s, and I would encourage you to have the kids write their names themselves on them. This will be great practice for them! More details for this will be posted to Class Dojo when it gets closer to the day.

There will be no school on Thursday, February 12, and Friday, February 13, for Parent/Teacher Conferences (Signups will be posted soon) as well as no school on Monday, February 16, for President’s Day. For Parent/Teacher conferences, we encourage you to come sans children so we can focus on the task at hand in a timely manner.
     It may not seem like it now, but the end of the school year will be here before we know it, and we still have a lot of material to cover. While we are seeing lots of growth in the kids (and that is so encouraging), you reinforce what we are doing in the classroom is where the knowledge really gets cemented into the kids. This is a fast-paced classroom, and that is only possible because of your help. You are all rockstar parents, and I appreciate you so much.
     Please continue to look at Class Dojo for updates from me. Class Dojo is my primary source
for communication with you. If we have any inclement weather, I will post our status there as soon as I know.
     The rest of the school year is going to pass by us in no time. We have a lot of fun activities planned in the upcoming months that we are excited about. We are so encouraged by all the kids and the improvement we have seen. And knowing that more improvement will still happen is so exciting. Let’s all keep up the amazing work!

With Love,
Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Clark

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and start to their New Year. It was nice to get some time away and spend time with my family. Tuition envelopes were delayed until January so they wouldn’t get misplaced over the break. Tuition will be due by Wednesday,
January 14th.

Preschool will be closed in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Day, Monday, January 19th.

Please make sure you check DOJO for any closures or delays before leaving the house on those wintery mornings. I also post on the WDTN and WHIO when we have a delay or a closure.

Our licensing requires that we do monthly fire drills. This does require us to go outside briefly. Please make sure you pack a jacket, just in case we have a drill.

We are planning a glow party for the kids on Wednesday, January 28th. The kids have a blast in the fellowship hall with the fun lighting!

Thank you to those who supported us on our Chick-fil-A fundraiser; we made just over $30.
Happy New Year!

     Happy New Year! I can’t believe we are already this far into the school year, but here
we are.  The kids are making some progress, and we are so proud of them.

     We will continue with our letters and numbers of the week.
We will also be doing more with patterns, sequences,
rhyming words, missing letters/numbers, simple addition
and possibly some subtraction.

     We will also start learning last names! You will notice that the kid’s first names disappeared over Christmas Break. This is important information they will need to have for kindergarten, but we will not stress too much on it. Many of our kiddos are still struggling with their names. Please be sure to work with them at home.

     Please continue to check Class Dojo!! This is our primary source for communication, not only for what we are doing in the classroom and upcoming events, but I will also be posting on there if we have a snow day due to inclement weather (I will post as soon as I know, so check before leaving your house).

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach
out to us.
We are here to help the kids grow, and if there is anything you see that we can do to further help with this, let us know!

December 5 ~ Tuition is due
December 8 ~ Grinch day
December 17 ~ Happy Birthday Jesus party

Christmas Preschool break is from December 22 through January 5.
Preschool restarts on January 6.
Tuition envelopes will be sent home once we return from break in January. Tuition in January will be due January 9, 2026.

Winter weather will be here before we know it. If preschool closes due to inclement weather, we will post on dojo. It will also be posted on the local news channels. We generally follow Beavercreek schools, but sometimes they will post a delay that is more of a bussing issue, and we will not have a delay. So please make sure you check dojo on those mornings. If we do follow a delay, we only delay 1 hr.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and share the true meaning of
the holiday.

We will have our Happy Birthday Jesus/Christmas Party on Wednesday, December 17th. Friday, December 19th will be Pajama/Movie Day. Please keep an eye on Class Dojo for additional details on all events.

So far, we have been relatively healthy in the classroom. This is great to see! Let’s keep this streak going; however, if the kiddos do start showing any sign of sickness, please be considerate of the other students and staff and keep them home.
This will help keep our classroom healthier, thus the kids will be
staying healthier.
December is going to be quick and busy. Please keep working with the kids on what we are learning in the classroom. You working with them at home is really where things start to stick with the kids.
Christmas Break is Monday, 12/2 – Monday, 01/05 (school resuming on Tuesday, 01/06).

We are continuing to work on our letters, numbers, and shapes. The kids are loving the sensory bins I have for them. Our Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is November 19.
Thanksgiving break is November 24-28. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to me in ClassDojo.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Heatherly

Miss Schroder's Middlers

Already in November,

Well we are continuing with our letters P, N, & K as well as the numbers 8, 9, &10.

We will continue practicing with scissors and painting.

Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is Wednesday, November 19 @ 11:15 am in the Fellowship Hall. Snacks and drinks provided.

Thanksgiving Break is Monday, November 24 thru Friday, November 28.

We will return on Monday, December 1.

Thank you and God Bless,
Miss. Schroder

Hard to believe we are already talking about November and the start of the holidays, but here we are!
I am really excited about this month. We have it packed full of fun activities for the kids. The first up is Operation Christmas Child. Our class will be collecting items to put into shoeboxes (more information on this will come out soon!).

Mid-month, we will be having a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Feast with our parents here at the school. This takes us right into Thanksgiving break. So as you can tell, we will have an action-packed month.

Please keep working with the kids on what we are learning in class. We move at a fast pace, which does require a certain level of independent work on the kids’ behalf. Several kids lack self-confidence when it comes to table work.

Keep bringing in coats and jackets for the kids. While we have nice days, I want to keep getting them outside as much as possible. We do have little kid rakes in the shed outside that the kids enjoy playing with, so I can’t wait to see them create leaf piles and jump into them during our outside play time.

Keep looking at Class Dojo for more details and updates as they come.
You all are great at communicating with me when needed, and I greatly appreciate that and all of you. Please, let me know if there is anything you need from me!

With Thanks,
Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Clark

October 2025

9/24/2025

October around the preschool is so much fun! This is my absolute favorite time of year when the leaves change colors and everything is about pumpkins. We have a busy month ahead! Here are a few reminders:

Tuition is due Friday, October 3rd. If you haven’t submitted your $60 supply fee, please do so this month.
No School on Monday, October 13 (Indigenous Peoples Day)
Picture day is scheduled for Monday, October 20th. Forms will be sent home when we get closer to that date.
Donuts with dudes (or dudettes) is scheduled for Wednesday, October 22nd at 11:30 am. We ask that each child has one adult to join them. We will meet in the fellowship hall to enjoy donuts together.
Fall festival is scheduled for Monday, October 27th. We set up games and activities in the fellowship hall for the children. We do usually ask for parent volunteers to help with the activities. So please be on the lookout for that opportunity.

Since we are a Christian preschool, we do not celebrate Halloween. But on the week of the 27th we have a spirit week.

Monday, October 27th- Fall themed clothes
Tuesday, October 28th- Crazy outfit day
Wednesday, October 29th- PJ day
Thursday, October 30th – Hero day
Friday, October 31st - Sports day

I hope everyone has been enjoying the first few weeks of preschool. It has been fun meeting all of our new students and seeing our returning kiddos!

God Bless,
Carol Boersma,
Preschool Director

Hello Parents:
     We have been learning the letters A, B and C the past few weeks. We are practicing holding a pencil and tracing lines. We are also working with scissors and making sure we are using them correctly. The weather will be changing soon. We will be doing some leaf activities as well as trying different colored apples to see which one is our favorite.
     Picture day is scheduled for October 20th.

Ms. Nowak’s and Mrs. Clark's Pre-K

     As the saying goes, Happy Fall Y’all! September has been a great month, and the kids are doing great in the classroom with learning the routines. As we continue to move forward with our letters and numbers, please be sure to reinforce what we are doing in the classroom at home, also.
     We move at a fast pace, and we don’t want any of the kids getting behind. Learning is a continuous thing and the more consistency the kids have with what we are learning, the quicker things will begin to click for them. Like I have said before, we are a TEAM working together for your child’s success.
     As the temperatures continue to dip into some nice, but cooler, temperatures, please remember to pack light jackets for the kids. I would like to make sure they get outside to play whenever possible, but if it is on the chilly side and everyone doesn’t have a jacket, then it won’t be possible to go outside. I also tend to keep the classroom on the chilly side (there is always a window open), so having sweaters available in the classroom is also nice for when the kids get chilly.
     We will be having a spirit week the week of October 27th, along with our Fall Festival on Monday, October 27th. Please continue to look at Class Dojo for more information regarding this week in mid-October.

Also, I post several updates on what we are doing in the classroom, but I also post lots of information for you as well. So it’s always a good idea to keep checking out our class on Class Dojo.
If you ever need anything from me, please do not hesitate to contact me through Class Dojo messaging.
I may not always respond immediately, but I try to respond as soon as I can.

Many Blessings,

Ms. Nowak & Mrs. Clark

Spin Kemp Christian Preschool
Parent Newsletter
September 2025

Welcome to Spin Kemp Christian Preschool! We are looking forward to an amazing school year! Preschool starts on Tuesday, September 2nd, for our M-Th/F students. Our M,W, F students will start on Wednesday, September 3rd. Doors open at 8:2 am.

Please remember tuition is due September 5th! Checks and payment envelopes can be dropped into the mailbox just inside the preschool entrance. Cash and payment envelopes should be brought to the office for a receipt.
We are a nut-free school! All classrooms have refrigerators, so string cheese, yogurt, and fresh fruit can be sent it and remain cold until snack time.
Paperwork- please make sure you get your child's physical and shot record as soon as possible. Our licensing does allow 30 days from the program start, but once that hits, your child will not be able to return until the form is turned in.

My name is Carol Boersma. This is my 6th year as director of SpinKemp. I have had 3 out of my 4 children come through this preschool. My husband retired from the Air Force
back in 2017. In 2019, we made Beavercreek our forever home. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education from Trocaire College (Buffalo, NY). I have worked in a few different style centers until our oldest was born. I was a stay-at-home mom for many years until I began subbing in 2018. My door is always open if you ever need to chat!

     Mrs. Nowak is our PreK teacher. This is her 6th year as lead teacher in PreK. Did you know that she is a pilot? But what does she fly? I am sure you’ll figure it out quickly!

     Mrs. Clark is the aide in the PreK class. Mrs. Clark is in her second year here at Spin Kemp, but has worked with children for a few years. She is super creative!

     Miss. Schroder is our Middler teacher. She has been with us since 2016. She has been a lead teacher in both the Early Beginner class and the Middler class. She is very active here at Spinning Road Baptist. You’ll often find her teaching Awana and VBS!

     We would like to welcome Mrs. Heatherly to our staff. Mrs. Heatherly will be our early beginner teacher this year. We are super excited to have her join us!!

   Finally, we have some amazing substitutes to our preschool! Mrs. Adducchio, Mrs. Linden,
and Mrs. McElroy

  Mrs. Heatherly's Early Beginners

     Welcome to the Early Beginnings Class. We are going to have a fun year! Your little ones will be painting, coloring, working puzzles, reading books, singing songs, learning new prayers, and so much more! I hope they are as excited as I am.
     Your child will be provided with their own tote bag. You will find a
red folder in the bag, which will have things such as newsletters, their daily “work”, and other correspondence that we may have to share. In the tote is a plastic bag labeled with your child’s name. If you could return the bag with a change of clothes as soon as possible, it would be greatly appreciated. There are times when art projects in particular are messy. Please dress your child in play clothes so they can paint and participate in other messy play without worrying about their clothes getting messy.
     With Preschool being a new and different place, there may be tears. I assure you they will be fine. It takes some longer than others to adjust, and that’s okay. If you would like, you may send your child’s stuffy or stuffed animal with them. Please have it labeled. This may give them comfort while they are transitioning.
     Thank you for sharing your child with us! It is an honor and a pleasure to watch them
grow and develop.
     If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out. We are always available
to listen and help.
Again, Welcome! Here’s to a great early beginning!

Mrs. Heatherly

  Miss. Schroders Middlers

     Welcome to a new school year!
     It is so good to see your children for the year! We will be learning our letters, numbers, shapes, & colors. We will practice recognizing and writing our names, cutting with scissors, and using glue.
For September, we will start with vowels A, E, I & O; the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, & 4.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me through Class Dojo or talk to me in person.
     Please remember to pack a full change of clothes (Shirt, shorts/pants/skirt/dress,
socks, underwear).
     Thank you and God Bless,

Miss. Schroder

Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Clark PreK

     Welcome back to school! I can’t believe summer is already over, but here we are! We are very excited to meet everyone and see all the new friendships start to bloom and old ones rekindled!
September is going to be a busy month, and we are going to dive right in! We will start with some basic skills (names, colors, shapes, tracing, etc.), then we will move into our weekly letters and numbers.
Please be sure to read all the paperwork sent home in your yellow folders, but please keep the folders in your child’s bag. I will use them to send home their daily work.
     I am a big advocate for fresh air. Whether it is getting the kids outside or having a window open in our classroom. Even if it is a little chilly in the mornings, I will still try to get the kids outside (as long as it is not wet), so please pay attention to the temperatures and send light jackets or sweaters when they are needed.
     Don’t forget to accept the Class Dojo invite in your emails. I will use this tool as daily communication with everyone. One thing I forgot to mention in the paperwork, for security purposes, only parents of the kids in the class will be allowed to be on Class Dojo.
We are really excited to see what this month brings us. The lasting friendships that are formed in the early weeks warm our hearts so much. If there is anything you have concerns about, please do not hesitate to reach out to us via Class Dojo.
     Thank you for the chance to get to know you and your child. We are really excited to see everyone’s growth this year.

Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Clark
