Our Family Tree

 In our classroom we have a "family tree".  I have my family picture up and I am hoping each child will come to school with a picture of their family for our tree.

Safety First!

Safety is very important at Mary L. Tracy School.   Our first fire drill of the year has been re-scheduled for  early September.  As one would expect, the fire alarm is very loud but the drill traditionally lasts only a few moments.  Our safe place outside is very close to the playground, providing an excellent opportunity to transition to discussing playground safety.   Please remind children that having these kinds of drills are part of what we do to make sure they stay safe.

Important Information

Our exceptional preschool staff is looking forward to a fantastic year with your child and your family!  Below is just some information that we thought would be helpful as we start the 2012-2013 school year.

***Mark your calendars***
Mary L. Tracy Open House is 
Wednesday September 5th at 7 pm.

  • AM pre-k class starts at 8:30.  Our staff will meet children at the Dr. Seuss mural in the hallway across from the cafeteria.   
  •  PM pre-k starts at 12:00.  Our staff will meet children in the school lobby at that time.  
  • The students have snack daily that we provide.  We are asking for a $30 snack donation for the year from each family to help with snack and cooking costs. 
  • Please provide a complete change of clothes for your child (pants, shirt, socks and underwear) to remain at school.  It is helpful if each clothing item is labeled in a bag that is also labeled with your child's name. 
  • Please label outerwear (coats, hats, etc.). 
  • The children play outside everyday weather permitting.  Please dress your child accordingly.  Note:  Flip-flops are not allowed.
  • Please notify the office (203-891-8028) if your child will be absent.
