Director's Comments
We have mechanisms in place (e-mail) for parents to contact their child's teacher any day. Every teacher makes a courtesy phone call to every students parent during the third week of the school year. Each student has a comprehensive skills assessment at mid year and again at year end. That is shared with parents. Parent teacher conferences are available upon request of either the parent or the teacher. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to visit and participate in theirs child's preschool experience at any time, at their convenience.
