Hi Families,
Happy Friday, tonight is our movie night under the stars! Arrive at 6:45pm to set up your movie spot, take a picture at our movie night photo booth, and play on the playground! The movie will start between 7:30-7:45 depending on sunlight. We will be watching Moana 2. Popcorn is provided please bring a drink, additional snacks, blankets, chairs, or anything else you need to get comfy and enjoy a movie under the stars. I hope to see you there!
Picture Day
Picture day is next week! All 3-5 year old classes will take both individual and group pictures. If you would like siblings photographed together please bring them in before school at 9am either day. Our Busy Bees can take optional photos before school at 9am, these students will not be photographed during class time. NO money is due at this time but please return the completed envelope, this envelope serves as consent for your child’s picture to be taken.
- September 24: Lions, Cheetahs, Tigers, and Zebras
- September 25: Penguins and Bears
Fall Field Trip
Permission forms have gone home for our fall farm field trips! Our 4 and 5 year old classes will visit Niederman Farm and our 3 year old classes will visit Barn-n-Bunk. All Details are provided on the field trip form. Please remember parents/guardians are responsible for transportation to and from the event as well as supervision during the event. Please turn in forms and money to your child’s teacher no later than 10/1 (4’s and 5’s classes) and 10/2 (3’s classes).
Toileting
Please remember that students in the 3-5 year old classes are required to have independent bathroom skills. Please dress your child in clothing that is easy for them to pull up and down independently. Practice the skills of wiping, flushing, and pulling underwear and pants up and down at home so they are comfortable doing this in the school environment.
Safety and Security
After the community incident requiring lockdown of Lakota schools yesterday, I want to assure you that your students are safe here at LOLCP. As soon as our teachers learned of the lockdown at neighboring public schools due to a community incident our afternoon teachers worked quickly to get our students inside from the playground. This morning I spent a good amount of time on the phone with Lieutenant Beiser from the West Chester Police Department. We are working together on a plan to make sure our preschool is notified directly about any community incidents or threats that would require us to be extra vigilant and/or enact our lockdown protocol. Our staff will be participating in an ALICE training with the West Chester Police Department this year. We already practice quarterly lockdown drills with our students in an age appropriate manner talking about our school safety squirrel and stranger danger and have a disaster plan in place for security and weather related events. The safety and security of your preschooler is our number one priority.
Looking Ahead:
- September 22 and 23: First Chapel Days- wear your class spirit shirt!
- September 24 and 25: Picture Day
- October 7: Mum Buddies Pick-up
- October 8 and 9: Farm Field Trips
- October 16 and 17: No School
See you tonight!
