How You Can Get Involved

Get Involved

Home and school are a young child’s two most important worlds. As adults we must bridge these two worlds as often as possible. Families and teachers can find many ways to build relationships, help make connections for students, and support the health and development of children. The preschool program staff offers many ways for families to get involved with the school and personnel. Families should see their child’s teacher for more information. Regular communication between the home and school is vital to the experience children will have throughout their preschool years.
