Thanks for helping PRCP go green!
Do you search for stuff online? How about shop online? Have you downloaded the new PRCP custom toolbar for GoodSearch/Goodshop yet? It is the easiest way to remind yourself to use GoodSearch when online searching and/or shopping. This handy toolbar installs into your browser and is powered by Yahoo for reliable search results. It has been tested and is completely safe. Since it is custom-built PRCP is already selected as your charity of choice.
The really neat part of having the toolbar installed is that GoodShop detects and displays those participating merchants and lists the exact percentage donation any purchase will earn, not to mention shows available coupons. Effortless, almost like free money. Download it now!
This year we earn $3 for each order placed online toward books for our classrooms! That adds up fast and makes a huge impact on our entire school.
To order online, go to: www.scholastic.com/bookclubs. You will need to register the first time with a personal username and password. Then on the next screen you will be asked for the child’s name and the PRCP code: GPY23 (Johna Debellis will show as the teacher for all of the classes). That code allows for our school to receive credit for the books you order and for them to be delivered to the school. You can pay online via debit or credit card, AND if you use GoodSearch/GoodShop you can double dip and earn even more money for PRCP. GoodShop donates 3.5% of all purchases at scholastic.com to our school.
Paso Robles Coop Preschool has a perpetual “Giving Tree” of needed items. Look for items throughout the year that are needed at the School. To get us stocked up on regular supplies, please find your class days below and bring those items to school by Friday, September 10th. Thank you so much!

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!

Saturday, August 28 at 8:30am is the semi-annual school clean up day for the entering Pre-K class families. We will all pitch in to get our school in top shape for the new school year. Sign up for specific jobs will be available at the Parent Orentation Meeting on Aug 25.
Cleaning supplies will be provided but as always feel free to bring from home whatever might make the job easier. One representative from each family is required to attend.
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.
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.
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.
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!
