Welcome Families and Students!

First Day of School: Friday, September 6, 2024

Arrival: 8:30 a.m.

Dismissal: 3:00 p.m.

My name is Mrs. Velez, and I am very excited to be your child’s preschool teacher. I have been teaching for 9 years, but this will be my 8th year teaching preschool. Ms. Scott and I will be the two teachers in the classroom to help your child learn and grow.

Your child will have the opportunity to learn and investigate through the High Scope Curriculum. We love it when our parents are involved in their child's learning. We encourage families to participate by reading a story to the class, sharing a craft, or sending in special items related to our units of study. Let us know if you are interested.

During the first week of school, we ask that you bring a Family Picture. This will be displayed and shared with the class. Your child will also need to bring the following:

• Reusable Water Bottle  
• Full sized backpack
• Crib sheet and small throw blanket  
• Two sets of change of clothes (weather appropriate):  
• *Two shirts
• *Two pants/shorts
• *Two pairs of underwear
• *Two pairs of socks 
• Box of tissues  
• Folder  

*Please take sheets home every Friday to be washed and return them to school on Monday!*

We are looking forward to a great year!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Velez & Ms. Scott
