Ashland Preschool Update
May 1st, 2026
Hello Preschool Families,
We had such a great week back after vacation. It was wonderful to be back together and settle right back into our routines!
A big thank you to everyone who participated in our Battle of the Buckets! We’re excited to share that Room 7 were the winners! They celebrated their victory with extra recess, a fun dance party, and popsicles.
Today, we also took time to celebrate Mr. Eric for School Lunch Hero Day. Thank you, Mr. Eric, for always making sure our students have snacks and hot lunches each day. We appreciate all that you do for our school community!
As a reminder, we will be holding a Parent Coffee for our rising Kindergarten families next Wednesday at 9:00 AM. We are looking forward to being joined by Warren Principal Peter Regan, Special Education Coordinator Katie Bent, and the Director of English Learner Education. Registration information for this session can be found below.
Please also note that next Friday is an early release day. Students will be dismissed after lunch, with dismissal taking place from 12:05–12:15.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
