Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday class

TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY

This class is somewhat older than the M-W-F class. These kids are very independent and self-motivated and are comfortable with large numbers of people. This lively class gives students many opportunities to explore creative avenues and social relationships. Field trips offer another way for the children to actively learn. Our teachers are Retha, Karen and Karla.

To see what we've been up to lately, check out our curriculum guides.

SCHOOL HOURS

· Morning Session: 9:00 to 11:30 A.M.

· Afternoon Session: 12:30 to 3:00 P.M.

PARENT HELPER DAYS

Our program depends on 1 parent helper each day. We have a sign-up sheet for parents to indicate the days they will assist in the classroom. If for some reason you cannot attend class that day, please accept responsibility for contacting other parents within your child's session to arrange for a substitute. Our curriculum depends on your participation and interaction with the children on your scheduled day. Based on 22 children per class, each child's family should count on 5 helping days during the year. If a family does not take its turns, then our program cannot run as planned and we may have to curtail some activities.

EMERGENCY SCHEDULES

When local news indicates any chance of storm conditions - even if your area is clear - listen for information on Lake Washington School District, or check their emergency closure information online at www.schoolreport.org. IF LWSD IS LATE OR CLOSED, WE WILL BE CLOSED. In the rare event we decide the school district is being too cautious (for example, if they anticipate a wind storm which may or may not materialize), we attempt to call every affected household. The school answering machine message will give you exact information if you are not sure. If we miss more than 2 days, we will make up the time with extended field trips or with additional days.

ALWAYS FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.

You can reach us at the preschool or you may contact Retha Van Gent, Karen Dorr, Karla Stettler (T-W-Th teachers) or Carolyn Wirkman (Director).

We'd love to hear from you!
