Nierman Preschool Dear Parents,

Welcome to the Nierman Preschool 2012-13 school year! We are very excited about the upcoming year with new classes in Spanish Immersion and new programs for each age level. May it be a year filled with growth, creativity, good health, and friendships for all of us!

Last year, many of you requested forms that could be completed on-line. We are making every effort to make the process of submitting preschool forms as easy and efficient as possible by introducing our on-line Confirmation Package #2 on our website: lfjcc.org/preschool. Please review the forms and flyers carefully--there are many choices and opportunities for you and your children’s participation as well as policies with which to become familiar. By printing out only the forms you need to submit, this will also help us to be as “green” as possible.

New students received an initial confirmation with forms required by the State of California as well as additional Nierman Preschool forms. If you have not already done so, please complete these papers immediately and return them to the School Office. For those of you who have not returned the papers or have misplaced the originals (e.g. ID and Emergency Information, Consent for Medical Treatment, Personal Rights, Physician’s Form, etc.), please refer to FORMS PACKET 2 for New Students Only where you can complete these forms on-line for your convenience.

All students should review Forms Packet 1, and complete the Student Information Sheet (SIS) as this is our first source for emergency information. Save your form on your computer - any time you have a change, please submit an updated form to the school office. The Confidential History for New and Returning Students provides valuable information to teachers. These forms are part of FORMS PACKET 1 below.

Forms Packets 3, 4, and 5 have information as well as writeable PDF forms to sign up for optional food, extended day, and enrichment programs. Forms Packet 6 contains important parent information including our calendar and special dates.

We welcome any questions to help facilitate your return of these forms. Use the Nierman Preschool Goes On-Line page below as a referral. If your child has special needs or you would like an opportunity to speak privately with the Director or Teacher, please call me at 858.362.1171 to set up an appointment. I look forward to greeting you at our Parent Registration Day on Tuesday, July 10th when we will be open from 9:00 am – 5:30 pm to collect all your completed paperwork. Should you not be available to attend, please contact the school office to make a special appointment.

Looking forward to a wonderful year,
Alma Geiger
Alma Hadash Geiger, Director, Early Childhood Education
