Hi all,

Here is information from our PTA PK Coordinator:

PreK Families:

The holiday season is quickly approaching and our PreK kiddos cannot wait to celebrate. To celebrate, PreK will enjoy cookies, chips, pretzels, goldfish, and capri suns. The party will be held in their classrooms and there will also be a craft for the kids.

We are very excited for a good time and in order to ensure a successful celebration for the students, we need your help! We are asking for a party item contribution for the students to share.

Our holiday party will be on Friday, December 20th from 9:45am-10:45am and set up will be Friday, December 20th from 8:45am-9:40am.

Please sign up to help set up for the party and/or to donate goodies! Our class party sign-up is located at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B44A9AD2BA0FD0-53747260-prek Items will need to be sent to school with your child by Wednesday, December 18th .**Remember all items must be store bought and peanut free!**

If you would rather make a monetary donation, you can send it with your student, in an envelope to give to their teacher or drop off at the front office in an envelope marked prek. You can also Venmo me at Meagan-Alls if that would be easier.

You are also invited to join the party with your kiddo! If you are unable to attend but are willing to send in supplies, please sign up in the link. Once again, the holiday party will be on Friday, December 20th from 9:45am-10:45am.

Please make sure your volunteer background check is completed in order to volunteer. You will be required to sign in at the front kiosks before joining the class. Complete your GCISD Background Check Here

We look forward to a good time together. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to email me or call/text me.

Thank you,

Meagan Alls

P.S: Students should be bringing their backpacks every day!

1. Be sure to leave all toys, jewelry, key chains, fidget spinners and electronic devices at home. These can be distracting and risk getting lost if brought to school. Teachers are not responsible for lost student toys.

2. Please write your child’s first and last name on things you send to school: mask, lunchboxes, jackets, backpacks, snacks, water bottles, etc. This will help us return lost items ASAP ☺
