The Saga of Preschool Information Night

Our official, final re-scheduling of Preschool Information Night will be for Thursday, March 21, 2019 from 6:30-8:00pm. First it was snow, then frigid below zero temperatures, and finally freezing rain that cancelled the first three attempts at this program. Winter Tuesdays must be cursed!

That being said, we fully intend on holding the program next Tuesday, January 29, 2019 from 6:30-8:00pm. Sorry for the inconvenience and stay safe out there tonight!

Remember Mr. Kipley? We re-scheduled!

We have re-scheduled that program for Tuesday, February 12, 2019. You do not […]
