Director Dove's Weekly Update: 01/27/2025

Penguin Families,

Good afternoon. I hope this message finds you well. We are celebrating the 100th day of school this week!

 I’d like to take a moment to update you on the upcoming week in preschool.

Looking at the week ahead:

  • 1/27: Avery Ballet

  • 1/28: PACT Time with Mrs. Herrmann @ 10am

  • 1/31: Parent Workshop — Helping Children Learn @ 11:30am

Reminders:

  • I'd like to kindly remind everyone about our building security. For the safety of our students and staff, we ask that parents and visitors do not hold open the front doors to allow others into the building. This policy helps us maintain a secure environment for all. Please be sure to ring the doorbell and check in at the front office if you need assistance.

  • Kindergarten registration is open to families tomorrow, our goal is to get every 4-year-old registered for kindergarten before they graduate from our program! Here is the link to registration information and forms: New Student Registration | Fredericksburg City Public Schools. Please consider attending one of the registration events:
