Dear Pre-K Families,
I would like to welcome you to the Medford Elementary School and to my pre-kindergarten class! I am really looking forward to meeting all of you at our upcoming open house! The open house will be on Monday, August 29th at 4:00-4:30 for the Mon./Wed. group and 4:45-5:15 for the Tues./Thurs. group. Upon arriving please join me in our classroom where I will have a short checklist of items for you to take care of before leaving. You will be asked to fill out your child’s emergency contact information, make a deposit into your family's lunch/snack/milk account, confirm bus information, view the classroom and ask any questions you might have. (Please come prepared to take care these items). If you can’t make it you are welcome to come in on Thursday, September 1st at 10:00 AM or 1:00 PM to complete the necessary paperwork before school begins.
The open house will be a great opportunity for me to meet you and your child. Upon arriving please pick up your child’s folder and checklist. Feel free to explore the room, however, please let your children know that they WON’T be able to play with any of the toys as our time together is limited. We will get to play with all of the fun toys on the very first day of school! You are also welcome to walk around the school to help familiarize yourself and your child with its layout.
Your child will not need to bring his/her backpack during the night of open house but can bring his/her rest items. (Remember that if the rest items do not easily fit into the cubby space you will be asked to take them home and replace them with something smaller. A beach towel and small travel sized pillow are recommended.)
At Open House you will have the opportunity to sign up for fall Parent/Teacher Conferences. Please know beforehand, that there will be two days you may sign up. Friday, September 30th and Thursday, October 13th. I am expecting our first child in early October and will no tbe here on the October conference day. My substitute and Ms. Paula (our assistant) will be here to meet with you. The same information will be shared regardless if you meet with the substitute or with me. As we all know, the baby will make most of the decisions, so thank you in advance for understanding if changes need to be made to the conference schedule. If you have questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to ask. :)
I’m looking forward to meeting each of you and hope your child is excited for the upcoming school year!
Ms. Brittany
