We want to welcome all of you to our Pre-school! It’s another school year and some of you are new to us! We want to warmly welcome you to our school. Returning parents, we are surely glad to have all of you back! Enclosed with this newsletter are several important items. Among these we have enclosed the Pre-school’s Information Sheet for 2008-2009. This sheet will give you an idea of some of the things you’ll need to know for the year. The second enclosure is the School Calendar for the year. Basically, our Pre-school follows the Bemus Point School District’s calendar. Please note: If the Bemus School System closes for a snow day, so will our Pre-school. This school closure will also be announced over radio stations WKSN and WJTN. Thanks for your attention to these items. We want all of you parents to know that the primary goal in our
Pre-school is your child and what is best for him or her. We have
set up the Pre-school with that in mind. Parents of first-time
students, please remember that Pre-school is a new experience
for your child. There may be tears and separation problems. We
are used to these. They are normal and pass with time. We are
very experienced with these problems and know how to handle them.
The tears will be harder on you than on your child. (They really
will!) Monday-Wednesday-Friday Classes: Wednesday, November 12 Tuesday-Thursday Classes: Thursday, November 13 You are welcome to have your other children’s pictures taken on these picture days. They may be done together or individually. In closing, we would like to recommend that you dress your child in play clothes. We go out on our playground on nice days, as well as the physical education program we do with the children. (We do quite a bit of painting during the school year as well.) Remember, if you have any questions regarding any of these items, or about something I haven’t mentioned, please feel free to ask us. I’m also available for calls at the Pre-school after classes have been dismissed. The phone number of the Pre-school is 484-0553 or 664-4301. After office hours, you may leave a recorded message for me.
The children at our Pre-school are not permitted to hit, bite or pinch one another. If this behavior occurs, you as a parent will be notified. If, after three warnings, your child is still exhibiting these behaviors, you will be asked to withdraw him/her from our program.
The children will present a Christmas program in December (morning) and a spring program (evening). Exact dates for these will be announced in future newsletters.
We will be having the following parties: October Costume Party and Parade* *Parents and others are welcome to come and watch our parades.
You are more than welcome to send birthday treats for your child’s birthday—just ask for the number to send and let us know that you are planning to send the treat.
The Pre-school furnishes the daily snacks. We try to stay away
from treats which are loaded with sugar. However, if you would
rather your child did not have our snacks and kool-aid, please
feel free to send what you would prefer him/her to have for a
snack with them each day. WWSE (93.3 FM) 2008-2009 SCHOOL YEAR

I do not know if all of you realize this or not , but our ONLY
source of operating expenses (salaries, art supplies food, toys
and equipment) is the daily tuition and registration monies. When
even one or two families don’t follow our payment guidelines,
it makes it impossible to meet our expenses. We staff according
to the number of children we have enrolled.
