Welcome to Preschool

On behalf of the Aberdeen Hall Preschool team, I'd like to extend a warm welcome to our new Preschool families. We've put together a comprehensive parent information package below. Please also take the time to fill out the 'Transition to Preschool Questionnaire' which will help your child's homeroom teacher familiarize themselves with details about your child before the first day of school.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out.

Warmly,

Candie Fraczyk

The Parent Handbook

This handbook has been designed to provide you with a reference for communication and protocol. We hope that these guidelines will answer all of the questions that you may have.

We welcome your feedback and appreciate your ongoing support. Read the Preschool Family Handbook HERE.

Emergency Forms

Please be advised that you will receive a communication from our student records management system MySchool with the subject line: New Questionnaire Available. This questionnaire includes information that we are required to collect with regards to you child (including medical information, allergy information, emergency contacts, etc). You will be receiving this questionnaire in the coming days.

Please contact studentrecords@aberdeenhall.com if you have any questions, or do not receive this questionnaire.

Teddy Bear Picnic

August 31, 2023

Join us August 31 at 11:00am for a Teddy Bear Picnic (rain or shine)!

We're so excited about this event, we can bear-ly contain ourselves!

Children are invited to bring their favourite teddy bear, basket of snacks and join us for a picnic that includes music, story time and more!

It's a fun way to get to know the staff here and for us to get to know you as well!

Water and juice boxes will be provided. We can't wait to meet our new Preschoolers.

Preschool Uniform

Outdoor shoes or a substantial shoe are required for outdoor play (this can be a runner). For class time each child needs to have a pair of indoor shoes that are light-weight and easy to put on. Rubber-soled, slip-on runners are best and will serve as “gym shoes'' as well.

Uniform Shop Summer Hours

Our Uniform Shop is located on campus in Portable #4 (follow the directional signage) .

The uniform shop will be open from 9:00am-3:00pm from August 1-31.

August 1 - 25 - Appointment Only

August 28 - 31 - Walk-ins Welcome

New families can book a 30-minute uniform fitting appointment HERE. 

Summer Mailing

The Summer Mailing is a digital communication that you can expect to receive in early August with information about the first day of school and other important information and upcoming events.

Weekly Newsletters

Starting September 1, You will receive two email newsletters a week, the 'Friday Courier' (on Fridays) and the 'Tuesday Reminders' (on Tuesdays). These emails are robust and cover all divisions of the school (Preschool, Junior School, Middle School, High School and Athletics).

MySchool

You will also receive messages from your homeroom teacher, specialty teachers or division principals via our student records management software, MySchool. This messaging system is used for targeted emails to specific grade levels or classes (as opposed to messages that need to go to the whole school).

Text Messages

Occasionally, you will receive a text message from our school messaging system (in the case of emergency, or for a last minute schedule change if we need to ensure the message is received by everyone quickly).

Questions about anything in this newsletter can be directed towards our Director of Communications and Marketing, Erin Jones (hello!) at communications@aberdeenhall.com.
