Golden Nuggets

Dear Families,

We are thrilled to kick off the 2024-2025 school year with such enthusiasm and positivity! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in our Parent Orientation and one-on-one family meetings. It was truly wonderful to see so many smiling faces in the building during our first week. Your presence and engagement were a clear indication that both children and families are well-prepared and excited for the journey ahead.

We understand that with all the information shared, it might feel a bit overwhelming. To assist you in navigating this new school year, we have created a Parent Handbook that addresses many of your questions and concerns. You can access it through the following link:

Parent Handbook

We encourage you to review the handbook at your convenience, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need further clarification or support. We are here to ensure a smooth and successful school year for every family.

Thank you once again for your continued support and involvement. Here’s to a fantastic school year filled with learning, growth, and memorable moments!

Thank you for sending your child with appropriate clothing for the weather. Please let us know if you need help finding any snow gear this winter.

Drop-Off: ETE Preschool Doors automatically open 10 minutes before your class session starts. You may come in, sign-in, check your mailbox, and put your child's belongings away in their cubby. Our classroom doors open at the scheduled start time. Teachers will be gathering supplies and getting ready for children until then.

Pick-Up: ETE Preschool Doors automatically open 10 minutes before your class session ends. You may come in, sing your child out, and check your mailbox and your child's cubby. Teachers will open the classroom door and dismiss your students at their scheduled release time.

Lunch at Preschool (Full Day classes and 11am-4pm class):

• We do not refrigerate lunches, please send an ice pack in lunch boxes that need to be kept cold.
• We can not microwave your child's lunch. If you would like to send warm food, cook it and send it in a thermos to keep it warm.
• If you would like to order a hot lunch from school for your child, ask Michelle for the paperwork that needs to be filled out for the school cafeteria.

If you have not yet signed your 4 year old up for Colorado's Universal Preschool Program, there is still time! Check out: https://upk.colorado.gov/
