OLP ECC Weekly Update 4/14/2017
Our Lady of the Presentation
Early Childhood Center
ECC Families,

Good Morning!  Spring is here and as we head into Easter weekend may this beautiful weather remind us of all of the blessings we have in our lives.  I hope your family will join us at one of our holy week masses and on Easter Sunday to celebrate.  Our center will be closed tomorrow in observance of Good Friday.  Next week we should be able to start using the new parking lot.  If the barricades are not down then it means the concrete work did not get done.  We are hoping the weather will hold off so we are ready to go Monday morning!  The flow of traffic will stay the same with everyone entering off Murray by the brick sign.  Then you can access the new lot by turning left   Exiting the old lot will remain the same but exiting the new lot will be one way only.  The construction has widened the entrance leading to the log cabin so this is now both an entrance for the new side lot for staff and the exit for the new front lot.  We are so excited to have these two new parking options for staff and families and we are very thankful to all of the parishioners of Our Lady of the Presentation who made it possible!  Pre-K Graduation is right around the corner look for your invite to go home next week. Enjoy the extended Easter weekend and safe travels to those of you visiting friends and family.  

Many Blessings, 

Catherine M. Koob
Director 
Summer Session Information
April 21 is the last day to notify us if your child is changing their schedule or not attending for the summer session.  We will begin working on our rosters and staffing after all changes have been submitted.    Please go out to our website under the current families section and fill out the summer session schedule form if you have not done so already.  Please make sure to read the summer session fee policy which can also be found on this page.   The page is password protected so you will need to enter the password summerfun (all one word and all lowercase).  All schedule changes are final after April 21.

Garden Planting Next Week
Time to plant! Our garden is ready and the weather is great!  Each class has a signup sheet posted for families to bring in items to be planted in our garden and classroom planters. We would like for all items to be brought in by Monday April 17th. Planting dates(rain dates included) will be all next week. Fr. Tom will be coming by Friday morning at 10:00 AM to do a special blessing. Feel free to join us! Please contact your child's teacher if you don't see a signup sheet for their classroom.
Spring Field Trip
We will be heading to Deanna Rose Farmstead for our spring field trip.  The dates for our trip are Monday, May 1 and Tuesday, May 2.  All families who intend to have their student ride the bus will need to have your student to the preschool and in their classroom no later than 8:00 AM.  Below you will find information about when each class is scheduled, trip fact sheet and a copy of the permission slip.  A hard copy of the permission slip will go home on Monday.   Please be aware parents and siblings will not be able to go on the hayride with their child during the tour.  Deanna Rose has a strict policy which only allows for a certain number of people on each hayride.  This is only a small part of the tour your cooperation is much appreciated.
