Daniel Feeney Preschool Update
May 31, 2025
Dear Families,
As we wrap up another week, it's hard to believe the end of the school year is quickly approaching. We’re cherishing every moment we have left with your wonderful children — learning together, playing, and enjoying the special time we have.
This time of year can bring a mix of excitement and big emotions for many of our students. Children often sense that change is coming, and they may express this in different ways. We’re here to validate those feelings and help them navigate this transition with care and support.
Maintaining routines and consistency is especially important right now. It helps our students feel secure and grounded as we finish the year strong. Thank you for partnering with us and for all you do at home to support your child’s growth.
Warmly,
Julie

Important Information from the DFP/Elm Street School Health Office
Medication pick up:
Please plan on picking up your child's medication the week of 6/9 between 9:30-2:30pm or on the last day of school (June 13th) until 12pm. The health office has stock Epi-Pens in the event of an emergency.
****If you have a grade 5 student, you will not be able to pick up their medication until 6/11 due to the Grade 5 Field Day on 6/10.
Unfortunately, I am unable to send home medication with your student and we are unable to store medication over the summer.
As a reminder, your child will need updated medication orders for the 2025-26 school year that are dated after 06/30/2025. I will reach out to you prior to the start of the school year with availability to drop off new orders and their medication(s).
Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns or need a different accommodation for pick up (ie if your child attends extended day AM/PM).
