We would love your help on popcorn days! If you are interested in volunteering on one or more of our popcorn days, please click on the title above to sign-up.

Back to School Night is Tuesday, September 1, from 6:00 -7:00. This is not a come-and-go, but a presentation by your child’s teacher beginning at 6:00. There will be lots of information, so it is important for a parent or guardian to attend. This is your opportunity to hear an overview of curriculum and details regarding your child’s instructional day. Due to space limitations in the classroom, we respectfully ask that students stay home and parents only attend.

Monday, September 7 is Labor Day and school will not be in session.

How do you raise a reader? BE A READER! Let your child see the joy and pleasure you get from reading for yourself and to them. It is a well-known fact that children who are read to at home experience greater success when they come into a formal school reading program. The pre-k classes at Park Lane Early Childhood Center want to encourage early reading experiences. To achieve this goal, we have a program to reward children who read at home.

If you agree to your child's participation in our Lending Library, your child will be provided with a plastic book bag marked with their name. A list of books will be attached to the bag. Each day your child returns a book, a new one will be placed in the bag.

Set aside time each day to read to your child. As you are reading, they need to look at the pictures, predict what will happen, and enjoy hearing books being read in their home.

The Lending Library takes place from September 8 through the end of April. The goal is to read one book each night to your child. Encourage your child to keep track of their bag. The list attached to the bag is their reading record and will make it easier to check out the large number of books.

After each book is read, initial next to the title. If it is not initialed, your child will not get credit for having heard that book.

Students whose parents read to them, will be rewarded based upon the number of books read. Only books sent home in the book bag will be counted as part of the program.

Without a PTA at the pre-K level, we do a large fundraiser each fall to purchase extra items for our school and classrooms. This is that fundraiser!

Students will be selling a large variety of yummy gourmet cookie dough, along with other items – just in time for fall and the holidays! Our fundraiser kick-off begins Wednesday, September 9 and ends Wednesday, September 23. Fun prizes will be given!

This year, we are focusing on raising funds for resources that enhance our students' learning experiences.

Goals of the Fundraiser:

• Acquire classroom instructional games
• Provide hands-on manipulatives for interactive learning
• Purchase inside recess activities for extra hot or cold days

Thank you in advance for your support in making our pre-K classroom a wonderful place for our children to learn and grow! Look for information to be coming home soon.

There are five pre-planned Professional Days built into the calendar for teacher professional development and collaboration. This is a work day for teachers and staff, but not for students. There is no school for students on this day. Mark your calendars for the following Professional Days.

The deadline to order a school t-shirt is Monday, September 14. Please pick up a flyer in the front office.

Join us in participating during our school Spirit Nights. These events are an opportunity for us to raise extra funds. Without a school PTA at the Pre-K level, we must depend on Spirit Nights, Freckles Friday Custard, popcorn, t-shirt, and yearbook sales to provide extra funding to purchase items for our school, students, and staff. Thank you for participating and supporting our school!

We need your help with drop-off! Below are some procedure reminders.

• Our special needs students are dropped at the small loop on the east side of the building. Please be courteous and allow those cars to turn into that loop before you pull out onto the street from the car rider drop off line.
• I've noticed there has been a lull in the middle of drop off with very few cars and then I see several cars coming in the back at the last minute, and even after the bell has rung, causing us to go past the tardy bell. Don't wait until the last couple of minutes of drop-off!

• It is the child or family’s responsibility to unbuckle in the morning.
• Students should be seated on the passenger side so they can be unloaded at the curb.
• Do not get out of your vehicle to help unload. This slows the line down. A teacher assistant will unload your child.
• Any student arriving after 8:25 is considered tardy. Late arrivals are really hard on the student arriving, and for the entire classroom. Every time a student arrives late, the entire class is affected. The teacher has to stop what she’s doing and instruction is disrupted. Please make sure you are arriving in time for your child to make it to class BEFORE the bell rings at 8:25.
• If you arrive after the instructional day begins at 8:25, you will need to park, walk your child inside to the front office, and sign them in. Staff unloading cars come in at 8:25 to begin the day.

Thank you for helping to keep our students safe during Drop-Off and Pick-Up!

Our mission at Park Lane Early Childhood Center is to provide a vibrant, nurturing environment where young children actively engage in hands-on learning experiences, make meaningful connections with their surroundings, and are inspired to fearlessly create, innovate, and explore the wonders of their world.
