Early Childhood Updates
2023-2024
April is full of activities and events for families as we celebrate National Week of the Young Child! See below for all the details and consider joining us. Watch for grocery bags decorated by preschool and ECFE students at Cub Foods and Coborn's next week, and send us a picture if you find any! Later this month are the rescheduled Kindergarten Discovery Nights. This is an opportunity to meet staff, see kindergarten rooms, talk to transportation, food service, Adventure Center and more. Dates and times are listed below. The school year is winding down very quickly so we want to share a couple of "save the date's" with you. Preschool Family Picnics will be June 3rd and 4th in the early evening . Also, we will be celebrating the 50 year anniversary of ECFE with a fun family night and concert at Bluebird Park in Isanti on June 11th. Everyone is welcome! More information will come on both of these events as the dates get closer.
Wishing you a Happy Spring!

April is Volunteer Appreciation Month
This month we are celebrating the generous volunteers who support our schools. Volunteers make a humbling impact in our schools. Last year, over 700 community members gave nearly 8,000 hours to C-I students. Please join us in showing appreciation for our volunteers. Learn more about our Volunteer Program here.

💡 Important Reminders
Attendance Line
Preschool and ECFE families should call our attendance line at 763-691-6693 (this is for BOTH sites) to report an absence. Please do not call Isanti Primary School or Cambridge Intermediate school unless are reporting an absence in that building as well. Thank you!
Label your Winter Gear!
With the abundance of jackets, snow, pants, hats, and mittens, we would strongly suggest putting your child’s name on the tag. Obviously, there are times when things get mixed up or lost and sometimes the kids get confused on what is theirs. This can help us keep things in order.
