Welcome! Hello, my name is Jasmine Bratton. I am excited about being your child's preschool teacher this year! I have 18 years of working with preschool programs. Preschool can set the tone for your little learner's educational journey. We have an inclusive classroom with diverse disabilities, as well as diversity in language and in culture. We have a team of four wonderful teachers; Mrs. Runyon, our  SPED team leader, Miss Gunn and,  Miss Nibblett our Instructional Paraproffessional, bringing different types of teaching experience. I look forward to learning and sharing this exciting milestone with your families! 

Attendance is very important at Preschool.  Please let me know if your child is going to be absent.  The school will call home each day if your child is absent. 

Morning Arrival
The school is open at 8:15am each day.  I will be there to get your child out of the car or off the bus.  After 8:35 am, you must bring your child in the office to get a tardy slip.  

Afternoon Dismissal 

Car riders dismissal starts at 3:00pm  

 If your child rides a bus home and there is no one there to get him/her off the bus, the bus driver will take your child back to school. You will be required to come pick them up.  

Sickness

Please follow the health guidelines in the Northside Handbook when sending your child to school.  If your child has any of the symptoms listed, please keep them home for the day. The nurse will also call home if your child shows any of these symptoms at school.

Backpacks/Folders/Towels
Send a standard-sized backpack to school each day.  The backpack needs to be able to hold a regular-sized folder, a towel, and possibly a change of clothes. Remember to check backpacks daily.  Every Monday, a folder will be sent home with your child’s work and other important information.  Please review the information in your child’s folder each week and return the folder on Tuesday. Towels will be sent home on Friday to be washed. Please return them on Monday.  Make sure your child’s name is written in marker on their towel so they won’t get mixed up or lost.

Clothes                                                                                                                             

  Students should wear clothes that are practical for school. If your child has an accident or spills on their clothes and needs to use their change of clothing, please send in another set of clothing the following day.   

Breakfast and Lunch
Free breakfast and lunch are offered daily to all students.
