The “Powerful Pre-K Pups” Team

The Prekindergarten/ComboWe are pleased to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves to you and to welcome your child to our Pre-K classes.

A good learning experience is built on a cooperative effort among parent, child, and teacher.

We look forward to the work and growth we will all accomplish this year.

Our goal as Prekindergarten and Combo teachers is to assure all children have access to a quality educational program that allows them to achieve academic excellence and provide them with a foundation for full participation in society.

Ways to assist us with our goal are:

• Have a good parent/ teacher open communication.• Send your child/ children to school daily.

• Read daily to your child and don’t forget to ask a lot of questions.• Help with homework activities.

 Please feel free to contact us about any questions or concerns you may have.

Our classroom doors are always open, and messages can be left for us with our school secretary, to which we will respond as soon as possible.
