Welcome Back 2012-2013


Hopefully everyone has received a print and/or email copy of the following--but here it is on the blog, just in case! 


Dear Families,

We hope that you’ve had a happy and healthy summer.  As we approach the start of the 2012-2013 school year at Wilmington Island Presbyterian Preschool, we’ve begun getting the building ready by cleaning, painting, moving furniture—and planning!  We look forward to seeing parents at our evening Open House on Wednesday, August 29, and to meeting our students on Thursday, August 30.  School officially begins on Tuesday, September 4. 

WIPP will continue its active accreditation in the Georgia Preschool Association and Georgia Accrediting Commission.  Our staff is required to have instruction in developmentally appropriate educational practices each year in accordance with our accreditation. We have an open-door policy and welcome you to come and visit at any time.  We strive to offer a caring, Christian environment that provides the skills, attitudes, and knowledge needed to enable each of our students to achieve his/her individual potential.


Enclosed you will find a copy of the calendar for the upcoming year.  This is also posted on our blog and has been emailed out to each family.  We've also enclosed a Publix Partners card for W.I.P.P.  Last year we received nearly $500 toward the revitalization of our school playground area—just from the use of our Publix Partners card!  When you shop at Publix,  just ask the cashier to scan your school card and we receive a percentage of whatever you spend.  There is no cost to you—and if you have more than one school's partner card, you can scan them both in!

Beginning Monday, September 10, we will offer our Early Bird program each weekday morning starting at 8:15 for $2.00 per day.  We will also offer our Lunch Bunch program on various days after school from 12:00-1:00 at a cost of $5.00 per day.  There will be additional information on these and other programs available at Open House.

We're looking forward to seeing you soon and sharing this year with you.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.


Sincerely yours,

Kathleen Pecic, Director

***We do have several families on our waiting list.  If your plans change and your child will not be attending W.I.P.P., please let us know as soon as possible so we can reassure those families that their children will have a spot at our school.  Thanks!
