26/27 Preschool and Kindergarten Registration Reminders
What does the registration process look like...
For those that are age-eligible to go on to Kindergarten:
A kindergarten intent form was sent home to all eligible preschoolers. If you are planning on sending your child to kindergarten in the fall please return this form. On this form you will notate if you would like your child to attend the 1/2 day kindergarten option or if you would like your child to attend full-day kindergarten.
Tuition for the 26/27 school year will remain at $4800.00 with a down payment of $600.00 and 10 monthly installments of $420.00 or you may choose to pay in full.
Kindergarten Information Night slides can be accessed here.
You do not need to re-register your child for kindergarten as they are already an Avon Lake student.
For those that will be returning to Preschool in the Fall:
Tuition for the 26/27 school year will remain at $2800.00 with a $300.00 deposit and 10 monthly installments of $250.00 from August to May or you may choose to pay in full. Morning and afternoon class requests will be taken into consideration but cannot be guaranteed.
You do not need to do anything else with registration, as your child is already an Avon Lake student.
For those NEW to Preschool in the Fall:
Registration priority is given to families currently in our program. Registration will open on January 30th. Tuition for the 26/27 school year will remain at $2800.00 with a $300.00 deposit and 10 monthly installments of $250.00 from August to May or you may choose to pay in full.
Morning and afternoon class requests are taken into consideration but cannot be guaranteed.
For preschoolers on an IEP returning to preschool in the Fall:
If you have not done so already, please complete the Preschool Intent form. Morning and afternoon class requests are taken into consideration but cannot be guaranteed.
The registration process can be confusing, so please reach out with any questions.
Community Helpers
During the month of March our little learners will be learning about different community helpers. Community helpers work in our neighborhood, keep us safe, can build and fix things, help us travel to new places, grow and prepare food, work in our schools and help keep us healthy.
We would love to have some of our own community helpers come in and share about their profession.
Sharing with our students can take place in many forms. Maybe you have a child's book that talks about what you do, or a uniform you wear and could share. The possibilities are endless!
We will have opportunities to share on Wednesday, March 4th, 18th or 25th during both the morning and afternoon sessions for roughly 15 to 20 minutes per group. Classes will be broken up into two groups in the morning and two groups in the afternoon, so please plan for roughly an hour of time total.
We look forward to having you come in!
Notes from the Nurse
Itβs cold and flu season, which means viruses are on the rise!π€ I wanted to take the time to send home a few reminders for school attendance and what to be looking out for.
- If your child has diarrhea or vomiting within the past 24 hours, keep them home.
- If your child has a continuous or disruptive cough, keep them home.
- Temperature/fever above 100 F by mouth, keep them home. Students need to be fever free without the use of medication (Tylenol, Advil, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen) for 24 hours before returning to school.
- Signs of conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) such as red, crusty or swollen eyes, keep them home.
Good health habits like covering your cough and washing your hands often can help stop the spread of germs and prevent respiratory illnesses from spreading in the classroom. If your child continues to be sick, please reach out to your pediatrician for further guidance. Our goal is to keep everyone as healthy as possible, we thank you for your cooperation at home as well.
