     A friendly reminder that some children still have not sent in a white t-
shirt.  We will be starting them at the end of the week.  Thanks so much!!!!!


     A few things to plan for in the last few weeks, our field trip to Newport
and our end of the year celebration.  Newport will be on June 4th, chaperones
are welcome to come along.  This is a fun trip to a beach where the children 
examine local sea life, take a beach walk and collect specimens, play on the 
playground and even get to ride the carousel. If you plan on coming along
with your child the fee is $6.00,  payable in advance.  Preschool's last day 
of school will be on June 7th.  The three preschool's combine for a short end 
of the year program on this day, dismissal will be @ 11:00 from the gym.  I am
asking that each parent send in a white t-shirt for the children  to
paint so they can wear them on this day.  Please put your child's name on the 
label!!!

 
    Preschool adhers to a strict sick policy.  This not only protects your 
child but the others as well.  As the the seasons change unfortunately colds 
and flu start to surface. Please be considerate of others and keep your 
child home if they are not feeling well. As mentioned above, preschool 
adheres to SFX's sickness policy.  We have no means to take care of a sick 
child.  If your child is not feeling well, has had vomiting or diarrhea 
within the past 24 hrs, has a temp of 100 or higher, a deep or continuous 
cough or thick, runny, messy nose, please keep your child home.  If your 
child appears to have these symptoms in school you will be called to pick 
your child up.  Thank you to all parents for their cooperation in this 
matter!!!!

     Outdoor play is an important part of preschool.  Please keep this in 
mind while dressing your child for the day.  As the weather gets colder they 
may need warmer clothes.  Hats, mittens and warm coats are needed as we 
still go out in the colder months.  Please try to avoid gloves and opt for 
mittens for your child.  The children have a difficult time with the fingers 
on gloves but put mittens on with ease.
