DFP Family Update

Dear Feeney Families,

It was an exciting week at DFP, filled with all kinds of spooky fun! Our students enjoyed making potions, watching bubbling cauldrons, creating ghosts with paint and straws, and so much more. We wrapped up the week with fun Halloween snack bags and some special activities in each classroom.

It looks like a busy weekend ahead for everyone. Wishing you and your families a fun and safe Halloween. And, as you are probably well aware, don't forget that the clocks fall back this weekend!

Most importantly, enjoy this special time with your little ones. These years go by so quickly, and the everyday moments are the ones you'll treasure most. Soak it all in, make those memories, and enjoy every minute you can.

Thank you for all you do.

Warm regards,

Julie Martin

The movie title will be shared soon, but it will be "preschool student approved" for certain!

This free event is open to ALL DFP Families! We hope to see you there.

Please join us for our next Preschool Parent Committee meeting on Wednesday, November 4. A Google Meet link will be shared with all families on Wednesday morning.

Topics include fundraising efforts for ongoing playground improvements!

Our next school governance council meeting is next Wednesday, at 8:00. If you are interested in attending or participating, please contact Julie Martin.

Our fall parent and educator conferences will be held on:

Thursday, November 12 from 5:00-7:00 pm

Friday, November 13 from 12:00 -3:00 pm

Wednesday, November 18 from 5:00 -7:00 pm

This is an opportunity for you to meet with your child's teacher and related service providers to learn about your child's progress and ask questions. We look forward to seeing you then!

As the weather grows cooler, a gentle reminder to please label your child's clothing - sweatshirts, coats, etc. Layers are great this time of year and we want to be sure everything is returned to you! Also, sneakers are ideal footwear for the preschool.

As the holiday season approaches, we understand that this time of year can bring additional challenges. If your family is in need of support with food, clothing, or gift items this holiday season, please reach out to me as soon as possible. We are here to help connect families with available resources.

All information shared will be kept strictly confidential.
