Hello Tiger Parents/Guardians, we had our second PAC meeting last night. Thank you to the four parents who participated! In our first meeting, I provided an overview of our preschool and PAT programs, as well as a focus on school safety measures and protocols. In last night's meeting, we focused on student learning, which included Learning Without Tears, Conscious Discipline, Seesaw, and more. Our NEXT PAC meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, February 4, 2025, from 5:30pm to 7pm in the Boardroom at Central Office. We will have childcare during that time for children who are potty trained and behave well. Please email me to RSVP that you will be in attendance by including your name, child's name, and if you need childcare and if yes, how many children. I will send out a couple more reminders. Thank you.

Bob Contello, HPSD Maintenance Staff member, has been a great supporter of our preschool and PAT programs! He takes on the responsibility of picking up thousands of diapers during the year from the STL Diaper Bank for our PAT program's parents. Bob has also contributed time and gifts to our preschool program. See below from Ms. Trapf:
Good morning. I just wanted to say how much we appreciate Bob! The kids absolutely love the sandbox he made. He also bought my entire class sand buckets and shovels. Both of the preschool classes in the elementary and the SSD rooms use the sandbox in the garden. It is just truly amazing! I just wanted him and all of you to know how much we appreciate him!
