Ashland Preschool Update

Hello Preschool Families,

It’s been a quick but fun week here at Pittaway! Our students have been busy working hard on their projects in preparation for Open House, and we can’t wait for you to see all of their amazing efforts and creativity on display.

Reminder that there is No school tomorrow Friday April 3rd in observance of Good Friday. We want to wish all of our families who celebrate a wonderful and relaxing holiday weekend. Additionally, Passover began on Wednesday evening. We hope all who are celebrating this season have a wonderful time with family and loved ones.

As we look ahead, please note a few important dates:

• The last day of preschool for students who are not graduating will be June 18th. All classes will follow their normal schedule.
• Graduation will take place on June 22nd. More details about timing and the schedule to follow in the coming weeks.
• We will also host our New Family Orientation on June 23rd.

Thank you for your continued support, have a wonderful weekend,

Amanda

Please join us for a Caregiver Coffee with Warren Principal Peter Regan and Special Education Coordinator Kathryn Bent. This is a wonderful opportunity for Pittaway families who have a child attending Warren next year to ask questions and learn more about the transition to kindergarten.

Please register here. If you are unable to attend in person, you are still welcome to use the registration form to submit questions for Mr. Regan and Ms. Bent.

We look forward to seeing all of our rising Kindergarten Pittaway families there!

If your child receives a placement through Special Education, the Teams will be making recommendations during upcoming IEP meetings and will communicate that with you.

Prospective Families Information Session Presentation

The Linclusion 5K is a local event focused on building a more inclusive community for individuals with disabilities. It’s a really special day centered around belonging, connection, and fun for all families whether they run, walk, or just come to enjoy the festivities. It is coming up on Sunday, April 12th at the Rec Center. Linclusion was founded by a local Ashland family to help create more inclusive opportunities and experiences for kids of all abilities in our community.

This is more than just a race, you don’t have to run to join in the fun! Come hang out and enjoy a great day with cotton candy, face painting, Wally the Red Sox Mascot, bounce houses, a DJ, Silent auction, raffles, and more. It’s a wonderful way to bring families together while supporting an amazing cause. Plus an awesome after party at Clover Road.

We’d love to see you there!
