OCTOBER 2026 Pre-K SPPS NEWSLETTER

Happy Fall! I am excited to announce that we will be going on a field trip to EZ Orchard’s pumpkin patch on October 13th. Watch for permission slips in your child’s backpack. I hope every student in the classroom can make the trip even if it isn’t their regular school day with us. I feel that way about field trips, parties, or any other event that brings us all together. If in doubt, please check with me!

Our Halloween party will be the 29th and I hope everyone can make it for that, as well! Watch for treat sign up sheets outside the classroom.

This month we will be learning the letters Pp, Ff, and Nn, the numbers 3,4,5, the color orange and the square. Our themes are; Pumpkins, Fire Safety, Autumn, and Bats at Night.

Our classroom earned some coupons from Scholastic. I’ve attached it to this newsletter along with the Scholastic flyer. We will have a book order due Oct. 8th. Our classroom code is GZX4H. The link is https://orders.scholastic.com/GZX4H .

Did you know this newsletter can also be found on the school website? From the “Current Families” tab drop down and click Preschool Blog. This is a great resource in case you lose this hard copy.

SEPTEMBER 2026 Pre-K NEWSLETTER

I hope you had a wonderful, relaxing summer filled with sunshine and good moments.

I can’t wait to hear how everyone’s summer went. I was able to take lots of short trips with family and friends and explored places I had never seen. And I am back at my desk, fully recharged, and excited to dive back into a new school year!

My monthly newsletters are mainly designed to keep parents up-to-date on the month’s activities. They can also be a resource for book orders or dates to remember. I like to keep in touch with any change of plans or new information, like field trips, school pictures, etc. and I hear most parents put it on a family bulletin board or on the refrigerator. The great thing is, even if you lose your hard copy, you can also access it from the school website! It can be found under the “Current Families” tab.

September studies include letters Ss, Aa, and Ii, numbers 0,1,2, the color red and circles.

Our themes are School Rules, Apples, Making Friends, and Monarch Migration.

I like to give Scholastic Book ordering info in each newsletter, too. Scholastic sent flyers this month, but it’s not always the case. Our classroom code is GZX4H. The link is https://orders.scholastic.com/GZX4H Please have your Sept. order in by 9/11.

I look forward to a successful and rewarding school year.

Sincerely, Mrs. Phillips ❤
