Greetings Preschool Families,
Incoming Kindergarten registration is open. If you have an incoming K student, you should have received a letter in the mail detailing the full process.
Natick Preschool Families: Please do not fill out a New Student Registration Form. Log into EZSchool Enroll and complete the NSR-Home Language Survey, NSR-Kindergarten Survey and NSR-Student Health Information. Some Natick Preschool families that enrolled during the last two years may only find the NSR-Kindergarten Survey because you have already filled out the other two forms.
Your child's registration is not complete until all of the required forms mentioned are filled out and submitted in EZSchool Enroll.
Kindergarten screenings will be scheduled at your child's elementary school unless you express a desire to have your child screened at Natick Preschool during their school day. The screening takes only a few minutes and is the same in either location.
Please don't hesitate to ask should you have any questions about any of the above. ~MaryBeth

From Nurse MaryAnne
We have been seeing a rise in flu activity in the preschool. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) has a helpful guide for parents reviewing information about the flu. Please see this link:
And a few more reminders as we all work hard to keep all the students healthy!
Call the school nurse (508-647-6571)
Thank you for helping to keep everyone at school healthy!

Outdoor Sound Garden:
Ms. Morrissey and Mrs. Toomey's children have been exploring the sense of sound in their classroom, at their homes and in the outdoors. They want to create opportunities to extend the curiosity and fascination of all Natick Preschoolers for the many sounds in their lives. They are constructing an outdoor music wall that will embellish our existing preschool playground.
We are looking for weather resistant items to use in our design; so, if by chance you are cleaning out your homes of unused materials, send them our way! (We would be happy to arrange a pick-up time or retrieve from your car if that would be easier.) We will be collecting during the months of January and February.
Examples of donations:
Kitchen
: wooden spoons, rubber scrapers, old pots/pans/cookie sheets/Bundt pans, muffin pans, metal utensils, metal dish rack, cookie tins
Basement/Workshop:
pieces of old gutters, keys, wooden dowels, 5-gallon plastic buckets (clean and chemical-free), PVC pipes, wooden shutters, old washboards
Or anything weather-resistant you think might make a fun and interesting sound!
We are excited to get this project started, with your help! We just may have some budding musicians or sound engineers in our midst! Thank you in advance!

ONE MORE WEEK! Natick Preschool's Diapers and Wipes Drive
At this time of the year, Natick Preschool usually collects hats and mittens to be donated to the Natick Service Council. However, this year, the Service Council has plenty of them in stock. They have, instead, asked if we would collect diapers and baby wipes. They are especially low on the larger sizes of diapers (4 and up). This is such a special thing we do each year. The children learn that helping others' in need is such a rewarding experience, especially if those in need are right around the same ages as themselves.
We will collect any donations in the lobby area or they can also be sent to school in backpacks. We will collect up until Valentine's Day, February 14

Many thanks to those who have already donated, too!
