Reminders/Updates
Beginning Wednesday, January 6, the full day class will no longer have the extended soft start. We put this in place for the safety of so many cars in the hug and go at the start of the day, but this is no longer necessary. Full Day preschool soft start will begin at 8:55 and the bell will ring at 9:05.
As we are entering the cold and flu season, please keep these preschool and Jeffco policies in mind. If your child has a fever, vomiting or diarrhea please do not return your child until they are 24 hours free without medication.
Please keep in mind that our doors will close 15 minutes after the start of class. Therefore, Dragonfly AM doors will close at 8:40, Ladybug will close at 9:10, and Dragonfly PM will close at 12:40. If you arrive after the 15 minutes, then please go through the front doors of the school and enter through the school. This is to ensure the safety of all students and staff here at Leawood. This will be the same for pick up times.
Preschool is in need of soap to wash our hands with at the sink. Also, as your kids grow out of clothes if you have any 3T to 6 size clothes that you no longer need and want to donate them to preschool, then that would be fantastic. We also need boys and girls underwear.
