Dear Parents, Guardians, and Stakeholders, Over the last few months, there have been many thoughtful and thorough conversations between the preschool teachers, the administration, and school board members regarding the state of the current preschool format. The preschool teachers created the attached slideshow and presented challenges to the current format at the school board meeting on March 16. They proposed changes for the 2026-2027 school year that the Board unanimously adopted. Linked is a letter describing the changes, as well as the presentation created and discussed by the preschool teachers. Feel free to reach out to Dr. Endorf or Mr. Dowdy if you have any questions.
