Daniel Feeney Preschool Update

Enjoy this first weekend of spring (even though it feels like winter). A reminder next week is a short one, no school on Friday. It is an exciting time at school with lots of spring activities on the horizon. Thank you for your ongoing support.

Best,

Julie

We will hold spring family/teacher conferences on May 15 and May 17. This is an opportunity to talk with your child's teacher about their progress and growth since starting school. Each teacher will share a sign up, and you are encouraged to attend these conferences in person.

SAVE THE DATE! Daniel Feeney Preschool will host its first EVER preschool DANCE on Friday, May 17 from 4:30-6:30 (roughly). Lots of details to come, but please plan to be there, it will be great way to come together before the end of the year.

We will hold peer screening for all of our NEW students on Wednesday, May 1. If your child is currently a student at DFP, you do not need to bring your child to this screening.

DEPOSITS FOR THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR WILL BE DUE BY MAY 15, 2024. This deposit will be applied to the June 2025 tuition. Your child's deposit amount is equal to one month tuition (please see table below).

Please send your child's deposit to the attention of:

School Business Office, Walpole Public Schools

135 School Street

Walpole, MA 02081

**Please send a check and include your child's name on the memo line. DO NOT pay the deposit amount through your child's online account.

We will learn all about dental health on Thursday when we have our healthy smiles presentation by the Dental Associates of Walpole. This is always a popular day for our students, and you will soon see why.

And with that comes some muddy areas of our playground. Please keep this in mind when choosing footwear for your child: boots, sneakers and other durable footwear is best. A reminder to label clothing items, including coats and sweatshirts.

**Also, be sure to check your child for ticks.
