Welcome to St. Ann’s Pre-K For All!  We are all looking forward to our first full week together as we begin our year of fun and learning.

Reminders:

Please remember to download the following important documents from the St. Ann’s School Website (www.stannschoolstatenisland.com).  They can be found under the tab “Parents” and then click on “Handbook and Forms.”  If you have trouble downloading or printing any of the following necessary documents please let us know.

• • Affidavit for Parent Student Handbook
  • Home Language Questionnaire 2022
  • Email Form 2022
  • Income Survey Form 2022
  • Media Release Form 2022

If you have not yet returned all three (3) emergency cards please do so immediately.  Also please return our Getting to Know You form and PreK Consent Form. Also please make sure to send in a complete change of clothes to be kept in school for your child.

Please remember that drop off begins at the glass doors at 8:10 until 8:20. At 8:20 the glass doors will be closed and the teachers cannot come back out to the doors.  You must bring your child to the main door on Cromwell Ave if they are late.  Please make every effort to arrive on time as our day begins immediately and it is unfortunate when the children miss morning activities.

Our classes will continue to use the “Remind App” to help us keep in touch.  Please download the app onto your phone and use the following class codes to stay connected with your child’s teacher:

Miss Donna - @prek1sas                        Miss Erin - @prek2sas

Upcoming Themes:

Week of 9/12 - What names do we need to know at school? What are our rules? When do things happen at school?

Week of 9/19 - Who are the people in my classroom community? Who works at our school? How do we make and keep friends at school?

Week of 9/26 - What do I bring to my classroom community? What makes me important and unique? What makes my family important and unique? What feelings do I have and why?

Home Connection Activities:

Each week we will be providing an activity to do at home with your child that reflects the current theme we are focusing on. They will be attached inside your child’s notebook.There will also be weekly math worksheets in their notebooks as well.  As the year goes on, we will also provide you with information to log onto the Seesaw App for additional activities to support our learning at home.  These activities are a great way to reinforce skills as well as keep you updated with what we are learning in class.  Along with these activities, you are welcome to encourage your child to practice identifying letters and numbers at home.  Please have your child write their name at the top of each page and remember — READ to your child every night!!!
