If your child will be attending Pre-K for a second year, please take a mo-ment to confirm your child’s place-ment with me if you have not already done so. It is not necessary to fill out an application again.

Below is a schedule for the Pre-k Show and Share. Please send only one item to school with your child on their sharing day. Thank you!

1. Send a bottle of water with your child.

2. Insure your child has sunscreen on/Mosquito repellent.

3.

4. Insure they are wearing comforta-ble clothes and shoes.

5. Send a hat with them.
