Hello Families!

Reminder: NO SCHOOL for PM students on Monday, February 6th.

Families, we are celebrating National African American Parent Involvement Day on February 13th from 11:30 to 12:30. We are excited to have you join us for a catered lunch by WOOD & HOG BBQ, along with a brief presentation of our Equity initiatives at CECC as well as a chance to provide us feedback. Please see the flyers below, and in your child's backpack and let your child's teacher know by February 8th if you plan to attend (so we can order enough food!)

Also, our Climate & Culture Committee is working to come up with a logo for our program. Please help us choose one by voting at the links below:

Today's Tip Sheet is called "Investigate Together". We do a lot of investigating in preschool and it is a great way for your child to direct their learning and have fun doing it!

If you have not yet, please complete the important survey about our program below, called the 5 Essentials Survey.

If you ever have any questions or concerns for me, you can call our office at 217-351-3881 or email me at prekoffice@u4sd.org.

Thanks and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

The chill in the air lets us know that winter is on its way! We want to remind everyone that the District has the ability to use both traditional "Snow Days" and "E-Learning Days" during times of inclement weather. Staff and families are encouraged to review THIS PAGE so they are familiar with the protocols and procedures in the event we decide to use an E-Learning Day this winter. In addition to listing schedules and expectations, there is information for those who may need assistance with Internet access.

We believe all students can learn.

Our mission is…

To ensure that each student develops the academic, social, and emotional skills needed to succeed as an active learner in school and in a diverse society.

To fulfill our mission…

We will partner with families to provide an equitable, individualized, developmentally appropriate, multi-modal approach to learning with an emphasis on social emotional skills, language, communication, and emergent academic skills.

Fundamental to our mission are…

A commitment to equity, collaborative decision-making, a highly-trained and dedicated staff, and a valued partnership between caregivers and community in a child-friendly, inclusive, nurturing environment.

Below are all of the ways you can access our program. Please like our Facebook page so you can see information shared there!
