September Reminders

  • Posted on August 30, 2010 at 4:55 pm

Welcome Back! Thank you to Mary and our teachers for putting together such a nice Parent Orientation and thank you to our Pre-K parents for working all weekend to get our school in tip-top shape for the new school year.

As a reminder, here’s what’s happening this month:

September 1st & 2nd – First Days of School
September 6th – Holiday, No School
September 8th – Board Meeting at 6:00 p.m.
September 9th – Parent Meeting at 6:30 p.m. – Budget Approval and BBQ Planning
September 25th – PRCP BBQ

Receive $50 for referring anyone to the preschool that enrolls in the next month – we have a handful of spots available and would love to finish registration!

If you haven’t done so already, please take a look at your Parent Handbook and should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask Mary. Browse around our new website and be sure to check out the calendars for each class posted under School Calendars on the left sidebar. They contain the current working parent & snack information.

PRCP receives FREE MONEY from any GoodSearch searches completed. Simply click on the GoodSearch link on the left sidebar and go from there! In addition, if you do any online shopping, the school receives a percentage if you use GoodShop via GoodSearch. The more parents that use GoodSearch and GoodShop, the more money PRCP receives for classroom supplies, activities, and field trips. There is also a custom toolbar that you can download right into your browser that will make remembering to use GoodSearch a snap.

For anyone looking to save 5% on tuition, simply pay for the entire year before October 31st.

This is an exciting week for everyone – enjoy!

Don’t Forget Your Child’s Registration Forms

The registration forms required by the State of California (and PRCP) need to be returned no later than the first day of school. The complete list is located on the Forms Checklist page of our new website and each form can be filled in & downloaded for printing.

Parental Paperwork Requirements

TB Test Required for All Level 1 (working) Parents

State law required that parents working in the classroom need to have a current TB test on file. If you have not had a TB test in the past 3 years you will need to have one and provide a copy of your test results to keep on file at the school. Tests can be taken at your local physician or at the county health department.

Copy of Drivers License and Current Auto Insurance Required

If you plan to attend any school field trips and provide transportation for students other than your own, we will need a copy of your drivers license and current auto insurance on file.

You can bring these forms to Orientation or at the very latest, on the first day of school.

Welcome Back!

The beginning of the 2010-2011 school year is just around the corner.  I want to welcome back our returning families and extend a warm welcome to all of the new families joining us this year.  I look forward to seeing the many familiar faces and meeting new ones at our Parent Orientation meeting on August 25.  The teachers and Board members have been busy planning for the new year and are excited about the many fun things happening at PRCP. 

Parent Orientation is a great time to find out all about our preschool program, meet the teachers, check out the classrooms and answer any questions you may have.  One adult representative from each family must attend this meeting.  The Board members and I will be discussing school policies and fundraising plans for the year. 

This year we are altering the schedule slightly to stagger the group: parents of children attending on M/W or M/W/F will meet with us in the church cafe at 6pm until about 6:30pm, then move into the classrooms with their respective teachers.  The parents of children attending on T/H or T/TH/F will meet in the cafe at 6:30pm then move into the classrooms at around 7pm.   See you then!
