Parkman Preschool

The Parkman Preschool is accepting registration for the 2004-05 year.  Space in the program is limited to 20 children.  Applications can be obtained from Louise Ringle, Center Coordinator or Jeanne Ames, assistant Center Coordinator by visiting the preschool or calling 876-4450.

 

Parking

Please remember that you are not to park in front of the schools before or after school.  This area is for buses only.  Please do not park on the grass.  The Grounds Dept. has been busy getting our lawns ready.  Please share this information with anyone who drops off or picks up your child.  Thank you for your cooperation!

 

Paper Towel Cylinders

Guilford Primary needs paper towel cylinders for Arts Alive.  Thank you for helping out!

 

Appropriate Clothing

 

As the days get warmer, we start having questions as to appropriate dress for students.  These items of clothing are inappropriate:  saggy tank top shirts, halter tops, tops with spaghetti straps, tube tops, belly shirts, and excessively short shorts.  If your daughter wears low cut pants, be sure she wears an appropriate shirt that covers her midriff, especially when sitting.  For safety reasons, students who wear sandals may want to change to sneakers for running at recess and movement class.

 

Move and Improve

Remember to exercise for 30 minutes at least 4 times a week.  Prizes will be given out periodically.

Here is the design for this year’s Arts Alive t-shirt.  It was created by third grader, Megan McAllister.  All students will be wearing their Arts Alive t-shirts on Arts Alive Day, June 4.  Students were asked to send in $3 to help cover the cost of their t-shirt.  Please send the $3 to your child’s teacher if you have not already done so.
