September Newsletter Hello preschool families! Our students and staff have gotten into the swing of things now as we’re reaching mid-September. We enjoyed seeing so many of you at our Curriculum Night last month and we hope to see all of you at our Parent Education Day on September 14th. This is a day for parents to come to the ECC to learn about classroom centers, preschool speech and language development, strategies regarding social/emotion skills and behavior, and handwriting. We will be having a breakfast in the multipurpose room at Greenbrook from before presentations start at the Early Childhood Center at 9:45. We will have childcare available for families who are attending the Parent Ed Day and children are also welcome to breakfast that morning if parents are attending. Information regarding this day have been sent home so please contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions. Attendance at preschool is very important. Students are learning and growing daily and being at school consistently and on time is a huge part of their academic success. We understand that children get sick or other family situations come up, but please send your child to school as often as possible. If your child is not able to come to school, please call Greenbrook’s attendance line at 630-894-4599 and leave a message to report their absence. Please make sure you check your child’s backpack each day as important information is sent home. Communication is important and we want to make sure our families know what’s going on at the ECC! This time of year, the weather can change very quickly. We do go outside most days (unless it’s raining, or the temperature is above 90 degrees with the heat index or below 25 degrees with the wind chill), so please check the weather and dress your children appropriately to play outside. We want all our children to have fun and be comfortable on the playground. In looking we do have a few dates we’d like you to be aware of: September 14th Parent Education Day (No classes, preschool only) – October 5th No school (Teachers’ Institute) – October 8th No school (Columbus Day) – October 19th Cosley Zoo Field Trip – *More information will be sent home about these days as they get closer, but please make sure to mark them on your calendar! We are looking forward to a lot of learning and a lot of fun at the ECC this year! The ECC Staff
