Allison Creek Preschool News

Hello families!

Happy September and welcome to ACPS! We had a great first week of school. You will receive a monthly newsletter like this once a month and special newsletters throughout the month.

Please check the bottom section of "Mark Your Calendars" as I have planned through January. Specific times and classes will be announced once all details are finalized. If you ever have any questions, please let me know. You can call or email anytime.

I hope you all have a safe and fun holiday weekend.

Thanks,

Ms. Devin

Please be sure to check your child's folder daily for important information about preschool. Also, if you need to send in any notes or money, please use this folder. Our staff will check them each day so please return them daily.

During chapel each week, our children will be invited to bring an offering. A big part of learning about God's love for us is learning to love and care for others as well. These offerings that we are inviting our children to bring will be a way for our children to learn that they are never too young to serve and to help others.

September is NICU awareness month. We know many of our families already have gently used newborn and preemie items that your children can offer. Please do! Talk with your child about why he/she will be taking those items to chapel. We only ask that items be in gently used or new condition. We have also provided a list of suggested items for ideas.

Don’t have any baby items at home? Not to worry! Your child could also draw a picture and include some words of encouragement for families in the NICU.

Be on the lookout in our newsletter each month for the next offering!

Please help us make sure that we know which lunch box, water bottles, backpacks and change of clothes are your child's.

A few reminders about your child's Lunch:

1. Please make sure their lunch is ready to eat
2. Please cut anything that may be a choking hazard (grapes, hot dogs, etc.)
3. Please label their lunch box
4. Please make sure ALL items fit in the lunchbox, including water bottle/drink
5. Please pack all utensils they may need
6. Please wash their lunch box frequently to avoid the spread of germs

Book Bags:

1. Please make sure it is labeling with your child's name
2. Please make sure they have a change of weather appropriate clothing
3. Please make sure to wash their book bag often to avoid the spread of germs

Tuition envelopes have gone home in your child's folder. We try to send these out with enough notice.

***Tuition is Due the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Tuition is considered late on the 3rd Monday of the month and a late fee will be added.

International Dot Day is a celebration of creativity inspired by The DOT written and illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds. It is a day to think about ways in which we can use our special talents to make the world a better place.

Your children will have many fun lessons planned for this special day.

Have them dress in polka dots to make it extra special.

We know making dinner during the week can be challenging. Take a night off and order a Moe's Taco Kit. More details will come home in a flyer & special newsletter. You will have the opportunity to pre-order a Moe's Taco Kit box and pick it up on Thursday, September 14th from 5:30-6:30pm at the preschool drop off loop.
