Daniel Feeney Preschool Update

Wishing those who celebrate Easter, Passover, and Ramadan a healthy and happy weekend. It is hard to believe when we return it will be April 1. The April showers decided to get an early start!

Warm regards,

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.

April 2nd is World Autism Awareness and Acceptance Day! Please wear BLUE on Tuesday 4/2 to help spread awareness, encourage acceptance and promote inclusion.

Dear Walpole Families,

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will occur across our region. While this is a rare and exciting phenomenon, we want to share some important safety information with you since the event will occur during our regular elementary school dismissal time. Since looking directly at the sun without specialized eye protection for solar viewing is unsafe, we encourage parents to review NASA’s safety guidelines with their children.

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.
