Survey of Preschool Children
We are starting to make preparations for the 2022-2023 academic year and we are sending a survey for preschool age students who will be entering kindergarten next fall. The information in this survey will help the school plan for adequate facilities and to determine appropriate staffing for the next school year. We thank you in advance for returning the form no later than March 31, 2022. Please check your students Thursday folder this week for the Survey of Preschool Children.
