Visually Impaired Preschool Newsletter & Announcements

Welcome to the beginning of our 2008-2009 school year. Thank you for sending your wonderful children to our school. We appreciate your patience with some of our bus issues. Luann, our Administrative Assistant has been working diligently with the bus companies to ensure a safe transition.   Thank you also for your cooperation with the name tags and the book bag tags. We are very serious about keeping our children safe.

We will continue to provide Kreative Kinnections (a dance and movement group) for our children on Friday Mornings starting September 19^th. We really enjoy Colleen and Lori as they have a great time interacting with our kids!

VIP Open House on Friday, October 31^st. This is an opportunity to meet your child’s teacher and the other support staff as well as a chance to meet the other parents in the class. We hope that you can attend.  

We have set aside this day for you to stop in at any time during these hours and stay with your child in his/her class. You will participate in classroom activities and accompany your child to therapy if it is scheduled during this time. AT 9:00am we will provide refreshments upstairs in Room 207. This is your opportunity to speak with the Director and office staff. Melissa Schwab, our vision teacher will also be available to discuss transition from Preschool to School age if your child is graduating this coming year.

We have been invited to accompany the Temple PALS children and teachers to the Pumpkin Farm. Because of the amount of children and teachers that will be attending, we ask that no siblings attend this event. If you wish to attend, you are welcome to meet us at the Pumpkin Farm, but the seating for the hayride will be limited to the children and one adult (either parent or staff member). A flyer will be sent home with more details. 

Every year we have a professional photographer, Gordon James, come to take a school picture of your child. Purchasing these pictures is optional. We will also have class pictures taken. A flyer will be sent home with more details.
