BRIGHT BEGINNINGS PRESCHOOL

It has been an excellent start to the school year.

Our kids and families have been exceptional!

Thank you for your patience while we learn routines and make adjustments. Our staff have been working hard to welcome all our new friends. We are fortunate that our district encourages involvement in early childhood programming.

ECFE is a program for families with children from infants to five years. Our classes are ongoing and we would love to meet your family. Big kids go to school and so can your littles! Contact Shonna Hoeper shonnah@mystma.org to find a fun class for your family! Space is limited in these classes.

All children are welcome, including siblings!

Sincerely,

Shonna Hoeper, Early Childhood Coordinator

John McDonald, Albertville Primary/Bright Beginnings Principal

During this meeting I will be asking parents the following questions:

· School Safety

· We will also have a school levy presentation at this meeting

Thank you,

Mr. McDonald

Parents are asked to EMAIL their child's preschool teacher when their child will be absent from school.
