E & E

Welcome to Friends Meetings School Early Childhood Programs.  We are so happy that you have chosen to join us this year.  We are looking forward to an exciting year of fun and learning.  Listed below are a few items we would appreciate if you could bring to school on the first day: 

  • A labeled heavy duty plastic folder
  • A labeled FULL size backpack that will hold your child's lunch box, snack bag, folders and all the materials going to and from school
  • Two boxes of tissues
  • Two boxes of each size zip lock baggies: gallon, quart and sandwich
  • A complete change of clothing that is labeled and put into a zip locked baggie that is also labeled
  • All day 3 and 4-year-old students need to bring in the following items for rest time: a small fleece blanket, a small (airline size) pillow, and/or small stuffed animals, all labeled. These items will be sent home on Fridays to be laundered and should be returned to school each Monday
  • A recent photo of your child

Half day and full day students need to bring in a healthy snack and small drink each day.  All full day students will also need to bring in a healthy lunch and drink.  Lunches may have an ice pack to help keep foods fresh and cool.  A wide mouth thermos works well for any foods needing to stay warm such as soups and pastas.  Please do not pack lunches requiring microwaving.

We look forward to meeting you and your child.  We hope you have a safe and fun-filled summer.

Sincerely,
Ms. Daphne & Ms. Tina
