Weymouth Early Childhood Center
2025-2026
January 11, 2026
Good Morning,
Happy New Year to all of our families! Our first week back in 2026 has been a great one. Students are well-rested, happy, and ready to learn.
PreK Registration information for school year 2026-2027:
Letters will go home, via student backpack about PreK registration, for the next school year the week of January 14th. Information about sibling registration and screening dates will also be included in the letter.
Fostering Student Independence:
As we approach the halfway point of the school year, many of our Pre-K students have become adept in learning classroom routines, schedules, and expectations. Consistent routines between home and school are essential in helping children feel secure and successful. Encouraging your child to use the bathroom independently, practicing proper hygiene, and communicating wants and needs helps build your child's independence and readiness for the classroom.
At home, please continue to encourage your child to pack their own backpack, pull up their pants after using the bathroom, zip or button jackets, and manage personal belongings. When children are given opportunities to practice these skills, it fosters independence, confidence, responsibility, and growth that will benefit them throughout their school experience.
We truly appreciate your continued support at home, as it plays a vital role in reinforcing these skills and ensuring a positive experience for your child at school.
A reminder about Keeping Our Schools Healthy and Safe
Maintaining a healthy school environment is a shared responsibility. Please help keep our school communities as healthy as possible by following these recommendations. If you have questions about symptoms or if symptoms persist, consult your healthcare provider.
Healthy habits that make a difference:
Stay home when you are ill.
Practice good hygiene, including regular handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, and keeping frequently touched surfaces clean.

Have a great Sunday!

Backpack Connections
How to Help Your Child Recognize and Understand Frustration
About this Series
The Backpack Connection Series was created by TACSEI to provide a way for teachers and parents/caregivers to work together to help young children develop social emotional skills and reduce challenging behavior.
Each Backpack Connection handout provides information that helps parents stay informed about what their child is learning at school and specific ideas on how to use the strategy or skill at home.
