Welcome To Preschool!

Welcome to P25R Sgt. Angel Mendez Learning Center! We are very excited to work with your child this year. We are here to provide a safe, happy, and nurturing environment for your child. In our classroom, we encourage the students to learn through play. We will use various different materials that are designed to help your child develop their literacy skills, scientific thinking, personal and social skills, mathematical thinking, understanding of the arts and social studies, and motor skills. The materials in the classroom will change based on the unit of study. Our daily routine will follow the same schedule each day, which will provide consistency and stability for your child.

We believe strongly in a home-school connection. We will send home monthly letters outlining the Unit of Study as well as daily report sheets. Those notices will provide you with information in which you can carry over skills that are taught in the classroom. This is strongly encouraged. Although written homework will not be provided initially, this is just as important. Most read-aloud's that are used in the classroom are available on www.youtube.com. We will provide you with the link for the story to read with your child. It is very important to read with your child every day. The same book is fine! Consistency is key!

School Hours & Absences

School begins at 8:30 a.m. Students will be dropped off in the back of the building. Drop off will be on a car line, in which staff will take your child from the car. This is done for safety reasons. Please do arrive on time. Being on time for school will benefit your child and help your child transition as well as get settled in for the day. Dismissal and bussing will begin promptly at 1:45pm and will take place from the same door in the back of the building.

*ALL CHILDREN MUST BE SIGNED IN AND OUT EVERYDAY.*

For your child’s safety, every student is required to be signed in and out everyday. Please inform whomever is going to be dropping off/picking up your child is aware of this policy. Your child will not be released to any individual unless listed on their blue card! This is very important. Individuals will be asked for photo identification at pick up. If in the event there is an emergency, you must send an email identifying the individual and call the school as well.

If your child will be absent from school, please call the main office at 718-227-1416 to notify them of your child’s absence. If your child has a fever, they must be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school.
