Little Spartans News
May 2023
A Note From the Director:
May is an exciting month at Little Spartans Preschool! Many of our students will be transitioning to Kindergarten at the end of May. We are excited to see our students continue to grow and flourish, but we will miss them greatly. Graduation dates and times can be found later in this newsletter. The last student day is May 24th.
Front Door Security
Safety is always our number one priority! In order to keep our front lobby more secure, the front doors will remain locked from 9:00a.m. to 2:30p.m. A buzzer/intercom system has been installed on the right hand side of the front doors. If the front doors are locked, just push the green button and someone from the office will be right with you. The left door will then be unlocked so you can enter the lobby. Please be patient with us as we navigate this new system. The new procedures will begin Monday, May 1st.
Head Start Early Enrollment
Head Start is now enrolling for the 23-24 school year. May 9th from 9-11a.m., 12-2p.m., and 3:30-6:30p.m. will be early registration times for Head Start (at LSP). Families may also call the school 827-0191 Ext. 4 to make an appointment to register for Head Start.
Registration for 23-24
Registration for all programs for the 23-24 school year will be July 25th 12:00-6:00p.m. and July 26th 8:30-3:30p.m. (at LSP).
Website
If you haven't been to the LSP website in awhile, you should check out the improvements we are making. It is still a work in progress, but we are excited to share what we have done so far. CLICK HERE
Kindergarten Round-Up
If you did not make it to Kindergarten Round-Up on Saturday, April 24th, please call your child's home school and let them know your intent to enroll. If you are not sure which elementary is your child's home school, just give us a call at LSP 827-0191.
Preschool Interest Survey 2023-2024
The preschool interest survey for 23-24 is still open. Please help us spread the word so we can begin preparing for class sizes for the 23-24 school year....Here is the link: https://forms.gle/GZ8jMwHSpaFJcpMp8
Recruitment
Do you know families who have or will have children between 3 & 5 years of age for the 23-24 school year? Be sure to send them our number 765-827-0191 Ext. 1. We can discuss program options and/or schedule a visit. LSP is an amazing facility for young learners!
Recess/Outdoor Learning
Children will go outside to play unless the feels like temperature is below twenty-eight degrees. Even though the afternoons are getting warmer, the mornings are still very chilly. Please be sure children are dressed appropriately to play outside.
Donations
LSP is the home of the Spartan Closet. We accept donations of gently used clothing (all sizes). We are currently in need of gently used children's clothing. If you or someone you know has some they would like to donate, they can drop off at the front office. We appreciate any support we can get to keep the Spartan Closet stocked for families.
Sick Student Procedures
Procedures for sick students can be found later in the newsletter. A rule of thumb to follow is 'students must be free of fever/diarrhea/vomiting for 24 hours (without medication) before returning to school.'
Bookmobile
This year we have partnered with the Fayette County Public Library. The bookmobile will be back at LSP on May 11th from 10:30a.m. to 2:00p.m. All books checked out by students must be returned on this day.
Safety, Safety, Safety
Don't be alarmed if you notice police presence at LSP! The Connersville Police Department and the Fayette County Sherriff's Department regularly visit to make sure our students and staff are safe. If there ever is an emergency, families will be notified via ClassDojo, PowerSchool Messenger, and Social Media (Facebook/Twitter). If your phone number changes for any reason, please notify the office so we can update our system!
