Hello Everyone,
We have so much to do and look forward to in October…
Oh my gosh…we need squash!
We are collecting pumpkins, squash, and gourds of all shapes and sizes in the preschool lobby the week of October 2nd and creating our very own Preschool Pumpkin Patch!
If you would like to contribute, every $20 donation counts towards 1 hour of MVP.
After we refresh the preschool on Parent Site Work Day, Saturday, October 7th, we will redistribute all our squash across the campus from the Outdoor Classroom to Rooms 1 through 5.
Thanks to everyone who has already donated! We can’t wait to see how big our Pumpkin Patch will become.
Preschool Chapel – Thursday, October 5th
Our second chapel of the year is here! For our first chapel together, we focused on the Creation Story. We are now moving on to Adam and Eve and discussing the power of choices, consequences, and God’s love.
Parent Site Work Day – Saturday, October 7th
Parent Site Work Day is just around the corner!
Don’t miss out on your chance to help our preschool, build community, and earn those MVP hours.
There are two ways to participate in this year’s event.
- Donate materials/supplies. (Every $20 spent is worth 1 hr. of MVP.)
- Help at the event. (Psst…volunteering to work at this event is worth double hours. Work 2 and receive 4.
)

Teacher In-Service Day – Friday, October 13th
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 we do in service to the children and families.
The Great ShakeOut – Thursday, October 19th
Once again, the main campus and preschool will participate in the Great California ShakeOut. This will be a full earthquake drill involving practicing “Bunnies in the Hole,” aka duck & cover, and a muster onto the main campus for an official headcount.
The elementary/junior 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 20th
Fall Conferences are here! We will sit down to discuss the kiddos and all we’ve done and plans for the days ahead. Please use the classroom links below to find your classroom information and sign-ups.
Childcare will be provided for all our current preschoolers. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to accommodate sibling care at this time.
Candid Student Photos – Tues., Oct. 24th & Wed., Oct. 25th
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 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, Ms. Adrea will provide families with individual links for viewing and purchasing options.
Apple Pumpkin Days – Monday, October 30th – Tuesday, October 31st
Our annual tradition of Apple Pumpkin Days is just around the corner. We will celebrate this year’s harvest season during the last week of October with unique themed books, activities, and treats. 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 7 a.m. until 6 p.m.
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.

Will you be volunteering on campus this year?
If you are planning on helping out in the classroom or during a special event, we will need a signed Volunteer Confidentiality Agreement on file for you.
