NEWS & REMINDERS
Fire Fighter Presentation – Friday October 1st
We are so thrilled to announce a very special visit from Battalion Chief Jeff Ragusa, one of our Rm 1 Dads. Jeff is going to bring his personal gear and show all of our kids how firefighters prepare and stay safe when battling fires.
We are so appreciative of the amazing work that Jeff does and his willingness to come and share with us. The kids love seeing heroes in action and it’s even better when we know that hero personally.
Candid Student Photos – Wednesday, October 6th & Thursday, October 7th
They’re back! We will once again be taking Candid Photos of all the kiddos at the preschool this year. These photos are different from the traditional school photos as they are meant to catch the kids in action. Our photographer, Adrea Scheidler, is a PCS mom with many years of experience capturing those adorable preschool smiles. Once photos have been taken, Adrea will provide families with individual links for viewing and purchasing options.

One of our favorite preschool firefighter songs is Hurry, Hurry, Drive the Firetruck.

Teacher In-Service Day – Friday, October 15th
It is time for a teacher in-service day. These days are crucial and provide us the much needed time for training, planning, preparation, and cleaning that can’t be achieved while the children are on campus. We are grateful for these opportunities to grow and improve all that we do in service of the children and families.
The Great Shake Out – Thursday, October 21st
Once again the main campus and preschool will participate in the Great California Shake Out. This will be a full earthquake drill involving practicing “Bunnies in the Hole” aka duck & cover as well as a muster onto the main campus for an official headcount.
The elementary/Jr high will also be involved in a pantomime of pretend injuries and other disaster related activities. The preschoolers, however, will muster on the big field grass where we will read books, sing songs, and possibly have a snack before returning to the preschool campus to resume our day.
Parent-Teacher Conferences – Friday, October 22nd
We are so happy to be able to have in-person conferences once again this year. Please keep your eyes peeled for classroom emails with the specific details and SignUp.com links for you to use.
Childcare will be provided for all our current preschoolers. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to accommodate sibling care at this time.
Police Officer Visit – Wednesday, October 27th
The community helper visits carry on with our local Pasadena Police Department sending a car, motorcycle, and even McGruff the crime dog! We look forward to seeing the vehicles, officers, and having a short presentation focusing on child safety.
Apple Pumpkin Days – Thursday, October 28th – Friday, October 29th
Our annual tradition of Apple Pumpkin Days is just around the corner. We will be celebrating this year’s harvest season during the last week of October with special themed books, activities, and treats. Be sure to watch for emails from your classroom teachers or Room Parents about how you can help support this fun filled fall tradition.
Communication – Emails, phone calls, Procare messages…
We work hard at staying connected and will do our best to respond to parent communications during our regular operation hours from 7am until 6pm.
While parents are welcome to send us emails, Procare messages or leave voicemails at any time, outside of emergencies, our staff will respond once they are on campus.
