DFP Family Update

We ended the week with so much excitement— as you could see during arrival! Students have enjoyed peeking through the windows or visiting our hardtop recess area to watch the excavator and trucks at work. It has been incredible to see how quickly the project is progressing.

We are also looking forward to welcoming you into the preschool for conferences over the next two weeks. Conferences are a wonderful opportunity to speak with your child’s teacher and team members about their adjustment and growth so far this year. I am also available if you would like to meet with me.

Wishing you a restful weekend, and thank you for your continued partnership.

Julie Martin
