MCP3 Parent Newsletter- #34

April 18, 2023

A Message from Ms. Peterson

Greetings Families!

Yesterday, MCP3 had a special ribbon cutting ceremony to open up our much anticipated indoor playspace!! A scholar from each classroom got to help me cut the ribbon and we all cheered with excitement!!

Scholars will be playing inside the playspace daily in the afternoons. So, your scholar might be in the playspace during pick up. You will need to sign them out from the teacher in the playspace.

Please join us this Friday, April 21st from 3:30-5:30 for our first MCP3 Family Night! We will be playing and socializing in the playspace. Scholars and families will receive a snack on their way out.

Here are a few important items:

Quarter 3 Developmental Progress Reports will be sent home in your child's folder today. Please review the progress report and reach out to your child's teacher with any questions.

Quarter 3 conferences are NOT mandatory for all families. However, any child that has joined MCP3 after February 3rd needs to have a conference with their child's teacher. Conferences may also be requested by the teacher or by the family. Reach out to your child's teacher if you would like a quarter 3 conference. Quarter 3 conferences are this week.

Change of clothes- Please make sure your child has an extra change of clothes here at school in the event that they have an accident. If your child borrowed any MCP clothes please return them. If you have any extra or gently used 3T, 4T, 4/5, 5/6 sized pants please consider donating them to MCP3 at our main office.

MCP3 is enrolling for the 2023-2024 school year! Spread the word to your friends and families and share your experience.

With Love and Respect,

Ms. Peterson
