Dear Families,
We had such a wonderful week connecting with you at Family Night and through our Positive Parenting Workshop. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make these events such a success! We're looking forward to keeping that positive momentum going into the week ahead. Here's what's coming up:
Important Dates
10/7: Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) — Join us October 7, 5:00-6:30 PM in-person at Lafayette Elementary School (with Zoom access: https://cityschools-com.zoom.us/j/85427242547?pwd=84mhC97s0cmCGtzPByZaTnIAdMYFVs.1)
10/24: We are partnering with elementary schools and doing a PreK-5 Trunk or Treat at JMHS on October 24 from 5:30-7:30 PM. If you would like volunteer to have a trunk, please use this link (Preschool: Trunk or Treat Sign Up)
Reminders
We need you!! We are looking for parents/grandparents/guardians/etc who would like to serve on the Preschool Programs Policy Council. This is a wonderful way to have a voice in decisions that impact our program, classrooms, and families. Policy Council members meet virtually to share input, learn more about how Head Start/our program works, and help guide important decisions.
If you’re interested in serving as a Policy Council officer, even better! Officers have an opportunity to take on a leadership role and work closely with staff and other parents. This is not a big lift- we will be there to guide the meeting. The Office of Head Start requires parent/guardian/grandparents/etc. to be the leadership. We will meet virtually 4 times and only more if we as a council decide we need to meet. I will send out information monthly to keep you all in the loop.
Please fill out the survey in the link for interest: https://forms.office.com/r/VUacLgrsNX
Little steps, bright futures,
Laura Dove
Director of Preschool Programs
