3K/UPK

- Location: enter the parking lot between the school and the Church. Come to the side door of the gym.
- All family members who come for pick up must wear a mask
- If a line starts to form, families must maintain social distancing (6 feet apart)
- A Graduation backdrop will be available outside in the parking lot if parents would like to take pictures.
- If you have children in various classes and you want to pick up everything on the same day, then you have to come on the last assigned day. For example, if you have a child in UPK and Grade 7, then you can pick up all the belongings on the day assigned for a 7th grader.
- No parents or student will be allowed in the building.

Ready4K is an evidence-based family engagement curriculum delivered via text message. Each week, families will receive short text messages with fun facts and easy tips on how to promote their child’s development by building on existing family routines – like pointing out letters on the shampoo bottle during bath time and naming their sounds. To sign up, families can text "NYC” to 70138. While there is absolutely no cost for enrolling, regular data & message rates may apply for receiving about three messages per week. Families can cancel text messages at any time by texting STOP to 70138.

Sparkler: Play for Parenting is an app that offers play-based learning activities to do with children ages 0-5. Families can download the app for free from the App Store or Google Play. When opening the Sparkler app for the first time, families can create a new account. Next time, they can  sign-in using the method they selected. Families should use code 2-1-2-1 to register, which will give them access to Sparkler for free. Once registered, they can visit “Play” for ideas about off-screen play that grow their child’s heart, mind, body, and words.

Each teacher will be sending daily activities and a weekly newsletter through Remind.  You can receive these updates by text or email.  To receive these updates, click your child's teacher below to join.
