Dear Families,
Enjoy THIS VIDEO of some highlights from our cultural fair! Again, it was such a special night. Thank you to all who participated and attended and making it a peak moment of our year!
This is a reminder that next week we attend Monday through Thursday and have a special Winter Spirit Week lined up. I left those details below for your convenience. We're looking forward to seeing all the creativity and cuteness!
Sincerely,
Jenny Smith, Principal

NEW * Coming Up: Pre-Registration for Incoming 2023-24 Kindergartners*
District families with incoming 2023-24 kindergartners are asked to be on the lookout for pre-registration information being shared in a few weeks.
The 2023-24 Kindergarten pre-registration is open to students who live within District boundaries and who will be 5 years old by Sept. 1, 2023.
This year’s Kindergarten Pre-Registration will be conducted online; parents will be emailed a link to start the process. (Families needing to pre-register their child in-person may contact Kimberly O’Neill, administrative assistant at Willow Grove Early Learning Center, at [email protected].)
For the online Kindergarten Pre-Registration, parents will need to supply:
- Proof of their identity
- Proof of their child’s birth (birth certificate or passport)
- Proof of District residency (current mortgage, lease or property tax bill)
- Current utility bill
Incoming Kindergartners who are pre-registered during this Pre-Registration period will receive a special Willow Grove Kindergarten T-shirt. (The T-shirts are not available after this pre-registration period.)

REMINDER WINTER PARTIES
Our winter parties are scheduled for December 22nd! The parties are scheduled for 10:00am-10:45am for all kindergarten classes and all AM sections of our blended, ECSE, and our structured classes. Parties will be held from 2:00pm-2:45pm for all PM sections of our blended and ECSE classes. Please note that per district policy, only volunteers on the volunteer list will be permitted in the building (sorry no siblings, friends or relatives). Also, note that all parties in the district are snack free, so no food may be brought in or sent home with students in goody bags

Our PTO Movie Night is scheduled for January 27th from 6:00pm-8:00pm! We are excited to come together and enjoy a movie together as a school community for the first time since 2020!
