Contracts that have not been completed prior to June 20, 2021 could be in jeopardy of having a gap in services and parents may be notified that the program is not ready for the next contract year.

If you have any documents that are expiring in June, please be sure that you upload your renewals in a timely manner. It is imperative that you have your renewal documentation uploaded per your contract. Missing updated documentation could result in a delay in your contract renewal.

As OEL is reviewing VPK success rates between VPK vs. Non-VPK programs across the state, the Coalition wanted to remind you about the OEL sponsored Virtual Study Buddies (VSB) opportunities, to assist VPK teachers as they review for the end of course assessments that are required for some of the VPK trainings. These sessions are FREE and provide an opportunity for participants to ask clarifying questions and get a better understanding of the course content that they will be testing on.  

Download a copy of the flyer by clicking the button below. Please make sure all parents in your center receive a copy of this flyer. You can print to send home with each of your children, or you can simply post the flyer on your social media page.
