A Fun First Week!

We had a wonderful first week of school! 

Singing, dancing, playing, laughing- it's all so much more fun with our friends! We had circle times, playground time, snack time and always always learning time. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Open House Tomorrow!

Don't forget about Open House tomorrow night (Wednesday) at 7 pm in the church!

Come hear about our plans for the upcoming year, and meet your child's teacher. Thursday morning, bring the kids to get acquainted with their teachers and see their new classrooms. Check your email for details!

We're Getting Ready!

Our teachers are getting the classrooms ready for kids!

Doors and bulletin boards are getting decorated, wish lists are going up, toys are cleaned and organized and learning centers are getting set up. There's just one week left before our Open House next Wednesday at 7pm and Get Acquainted Day next Thursday at 9 am.

 

 

 

Construction is also finished on our new bathrooms, and they are beautiful!

School Supply Lists

Below is a copy of the emails that went out to parents this weekend. If you did not receive one, please email Ms. Heather at wipp450@gmail.com so we can update your contact information.

We hope that you've had a wonderful summer so far.  We're still a few weeks away from the start of our school year, but we're sending out our basic supply list now to give you plenty of time to get ready. At Open House, your child's teacher may have a wish list with single items specific to the classroom.

Remember, our Parent Open House is Wednesday, August 21, at 7:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary.  This meeting gives our parents an opportunity to meet their child's teacher and get a sneak peek at classrooms.  

Our Student Get-Acquainted Day is Thursday, August 22, 9:00-10:30.   We ask that you walk your 3's or 4's child to his/her class at about 9:00, say a quick goodbye, and then return to the classroom at 10:30 to pick up him/her.  2's will have their visit as a "playdate" with mom/dad/grandparent some time between 9:10 and 10:30. Bring your 2 to class, stay and play together for 15/20 minutes and let your child get familiar with his/her new classroom. Your child will have a chance to meet his/her teacher and interact with new friends in the classroom.  You can send supplies in your child's backpack on the Get-Acquainted Day or the first week of classes.  There is no school on Friday, August 23.  Regular classes begin Monday, August 26.

Teachers will receive their class lists the week of August 12th.  You should receive an email and/or a letter from your child's teacher shortly after that.   

If your plans have changed and your child will be attending somewhere else this year, please let us know ASAP.  We have a waiting list, and I know there are families who would be very happy to hear that a spot opened up.

Happy Summer!

Hi Families!

Thank you for registering for the 2019-2020 school year at W.I.P.P.  Our Open House for parents is scheduled for Wednesday, August 21, at 7:00 pm.  The next day, Thursday, August 22, is our Get Acquainted Day where the children visit their classrooms. There is no school on Friday, August 23, so teachers can take care of all of the last minute things in their rooms.

The first week of school will start on Monday, August 26.  If you didn't receive a WELCOME email from WIPP yet, please check your spam/junk folder or email wipp450@gmail.com so we can make sure you're added to the school email database. We'll be sending out various email updates throughout the summer to keep families informed. You can also find additional information on our school blog: www.wippreschool.blogspot.com .

Have a wonderful summer!  We're looking forward to seeing you in August!
