Presentation ECC Weekly Newsletter

Early Childhood Center
ECC Families,

Another week of battling with the weather. I am hoping this upcoming week will not be more of the same! Monday the center is closed so we can spend the day meeting with our families to touch base about how the year is going so far and to talk about what we can do going forward to support your child's learning. This Friday is the deadline for current families to register for the upcoming school year. If you have a Pre-K student who is leaving but a sibling starting as a new student make sure to fill out the form or we will not have info on your new student. The registration fee for a new sibling starting in 2019-2020 is $60.00 and it needs to be paid before the end of the school year, May 31st. Many of you have been asking about the calendar for next year and summer registration. We will begin the summer registration process towards the end of March and I am hoping we will have the important dates for next school year available by the end of this week. Hope everyone is staying warm and we will see you tomorrow for conferences.

Current Family Registration for 2019-2020 Ends Friday
We are finishing our current family registration this week. All families must register their current student and let us know about any new students in their family who will be starting for the 2019-2020 school year. Through this process we are able to make sure all of our current families retain their spot for their student(s) and have the opportunity to reserve a spot for a new student. It is important we have this information before we begin to offer enrollment to families who are currently on our waiting list and before our open house on March 7. Unfortunately we will not be able to guarantee enrollment for your child after the current family registration period ends on February 22. If you have questions about the registration form you may contact me directly at ckoob@olpls.org. The link to the web page on our website can be found below. You can also find this page by going to the website and choosing Current Families from the Home drop down menu then 2019-2020 Student Registration. The password is register19-20 Please fill out information for every student you would like to enroll for the 2019-2020 school year. If you have more than 2 current students coming back for 2019-2020 then you will need to fill out the form twice.

* If you sign up for a conference on Saturday or Sunday or have to make a change to your time make sure to email your child's teacher.

Contact Information & Receiving Communication
With all of the weather information we have had to send out recently it has come to our attention their are families who are not receiving our communication. Please take the time to make sure you are receiving the weekly update from the Director, a weekly newsletter from your child's teacher, and you are on the Remind notification system. When we have to send out important information we have to feel confident that all of our families are receiving the information through one of these available options. If you use the link below to update your Procare information you must use the secure family page password to gain access through the link (Famil$Ec$)


Spring Pictures with Lil' Angels
Our spring pictures will be with Lil' Angels again this year. We are scheduled for the week of March 4th and we will only be doing pictures Monday-Thursday this time. Lil' Angels is the company which does the dress up pictures. We should have a schedule for when each class will attend ready next week. They will do sibling pictures if you request it ahead of time.
Inclement Weather Information
As we can see with winter we will be dealing with inclement weather from time to time. Our center does not automatically close when OLP school closes or LS school district. We make the determination on our own. We take into account several different factors when we decide to close or close early. It is never an easy decision to make so we appreciate your understanding. Below you will find our closing procedures. You should always receive a remind and be able to find updated information on our website as well.
