News From Our PTO
Our Annual Mumkin Sale is Starting Soon. Be on the lookout for the Catalog in your child's backpack! This fundraiser benefits Kings Early Childhood Center.
What to Do At Arrival and Dismissal
We are implementing new pick up procedures to increase safety for students.
Arrival
Please park in a designated parking spot and keep your child safe from oncoming vehicles by holding his/her hand until you reach the building.
Teachers will open the doors (C-1 and C-2) at 8:55/12:30. Parents will hand off their child to the preschool staff. Students will walk in on their own. Parents/caregivers will remain outside. Please stay behind the blue line to allow our staff to have a clear view of everyone.
If you arrive late, please push the buzzer at door C-1, and check in with the office staff.
Dismissal
Your student will receive a dismissal bag tag on the first day of school. Please do not remove this tag from your child’s backpack.
After parking your vehicle, please make a single file line at your teacher’s colored spot outside their door:
Door C-1
Purple- Mrs. House
Silver- Mrs. LesChander
Pink- Ms. Monnin
Door C-2
Red- Mrs. Frazier
Orange- Mrs. Dozier
Yellow- Mrs. Askren
Green- Mrs. Worpenberg
Blue- Mrs. Newman
At 11:35/3:10, teachers will begin to individually dismiss students to authorized adults standing in line.
Mrs. Liesch and Mrs. Dunlap’s students will pick up and dismiss at the playground gate. Please stay on the sidewalk, as buses will be arriving.
If someone new is planning to pick your child up, please send in written notification and/or call the preschool office (513.398.8050 x 10042) AND have that person bring a photo ID to your teacher’s spot at dismissal. Thank you!
