Dear Preschool Families,

Summer is now in full swing, and I hope you are all enjoying some rest and relaxation. Your child’s teacher will be contacting you by mail in the middle of August to let you know your child’s class. In the meantime, we are busy getting ready for the first day of school. The first day of preschool will be on Monday, September 12th. However, you and your child will be invited to a meet and greet on Thursday September 8th, at 10:00 a.m. for the morning session and 12:30 for the afternoon session. This will give you and your child the opportunity to meet the classroom staff and view the classroom. We find that the meet and greet helps with the first day of school jitters. Please make every opportunity to make it. Your child will receive a postcard from the classroom teacher inviting them to the meet and greet.

Enclosed is the orientation packet. Please, fill out all of the forms and return them with you on Thursday September 8th. We realize that it’s a lot of paper work and this is why we send it to you over the summer. The state requires that we have an updated physical and immunizations on file. The computerized forms are fine as long as they are signed by the pediatrician. Please make sure that all forms are filled out thoroughly and accurately. Please, double check emergency contact information phone numbers.

I will be available the rest of the summer, feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. The best number to reach me is 781-273-7632. I can also be reached through email at D’Amato@Burlington.mec.edu.

Additional program information can be found Burlington Public Schools web site, www.burlington.mec.edu Once on the page go to schools and then click on the integrated preschool

Enjoy the rest of the summer and I look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday September 8th.

Thank You,

Louise D’Amato
