Hello Preschool Tiger Parents, please see your email or our Facebook or website for important information from our nurse's newsletter for March!
Hello Tiger Preschool Parents,
Our preschool teachers are selling children sized t-shirts for $5 each. At this time, they are only for sale for our preschool students, but we may have extra if you have another child who can fit into a child's small, medium, large, or extra large. Our teachers have already sized your children for the shirts (we even washed them before fitting them because they do shrink about a size due to being 90% cotton). We may have to order more of certain sizes, but keep in mind that these shirts don't say preschool or a year on them. Please see our Facebook page, website, or your email for a picture of the shirt. Some of you already paid for a shirt and will receive them on Monday, March 3rd; however, we need to order more small sized, but won't do so until after our deadline for orders, which is next Friday, March 7th.
FUN and ENGAGING activities at the ECC, led by Ms. Laura Polak, St. Louis County Library Early Literacy Coordinator!

I attached our February Nurse Newsletter for you!
Hello Tiger Parents/Guardians,
In our first meeting, I provided an overview of our preschool and PAT programs, as well as a focus on school safety measures and protocols. In the second meeting, we focused on student learning, which included Learning Without Tears, Conscious Discipline, Seesaw, and more. Our NEXT PAC meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday, February 4, 2025, from 5:30pm to 7pm in the Boardroom at Central Office. We will have childcare during that time for children who are potty trained and behave well. Please email me to RSVP that you will be in attendance by including your name, child's name, and if you need childcare and if yes, how many children. There will be no more reminders. Thank you.
