Preschool Application 2022-2023

Seasonal Cold, Flu, COVID-19, Inclement Weather Reminders:

We are in the midst of the cold and flu season. We have experienced an increase in student absences due to illness. We want to impress upon parents and guardians to please remember to keep your child at home if they have a fever or show other signs of illness. Please contact the main office at your child’s school to report any illness and absences.

The primary goal during these tough times is to keep our schools open while we all do our very best to manage issues related to Covid-19! It's important to keep Covid-19 and other illnesses in mind and be vigilant with handwashing, and other health practices that keep illness at bay.

Please do not hesitate to contact the school nurse should you have any questions.

Please also remember to have a plan “B” ready in case a building needs to temporarily close for a short period of time. It’s important to be prepared, things are changing quickly and the district may need to make decisions by the hour and will not be able to provide significant notice to families.

Cooler Weather

As the weather is turning cooler, please remember to send your child dressed to go outside at recess. This means jackets, coats, hats, and gloves. In general, we go outside for recess unless the temperature/wind chill drops below 25 degrees. Please label coats & hats with your student’s name. If your child is in need of seasonally appropriate clothing, a coat, gloves or a hat, please reach out to Kelley Franks in the Bogan Office at 273-3403 or franksk@talawanda.org Thank you.

Please see the attached flyers about National Children’s Dental Health Month.

Cones marking traffic patterns

As the threat of snow/winter weather increases, we will need to remove the cones from the front parking lot for snow removal. Please maintain the traffic patterns we’ve used all year. For parent pick up and drop off, please stay right, along the curb to pull around back. Buses only should access the left side of the front lot to pull up for student loading and unloading. Thanks so much!
