Our PPCD Mission Statement:

The PPCD program provides classroom-based and support services to eligible 3, 4, and 5 year old children. Services may be provided on campus or in some cases, day care or home bound settings. Eligibility is determined through a play based assessment by our district assessment team.Parent-professional collaboration is an integral part of the PPCD program. We have also implemented the Together We Can initiative as well - the purpose of this initiative is to provide an opportunity for our students with special needs to be educated with their typically developing peers and to provide a more inclusive setting for our students.

TWC Expectations/Supply List: We have high expectations for the TWC students in our room. The purpose of the program is for your child to have an active leader role and contribute in a positive manner to our classroom.

In order for your child to return he/she must go 24 hours without any fever reducer after the symptoms have subsided or with a doctor’s note. This rule will be enforced for all of our children’s safety.

Please contact the front office 424-8000 or the nurse’s office 424-8010 if your child contracts an illness, so that we can take the necessary precautions. If you need to bring medication in for your child, it must be taken to the nurse and you will have to fill out the necessary paperwork.**Please do not send your child to school if they have any symptoms of any illnesses or if you had to give them fever reducer over night to reduce fever.**

CommunicationEducation is a partnership between home and school. We value parent involvement at every level and encourage you to partner with us. In order for this partnership to be effective, we need to be able to communicatePlease feel free to call, write a note, or e-mail us if you have concerns or questions about your child’s education. We are always available to schedule a conference to discuss any issue or concern you have regarding your child.

Daily Communication Journal:

The Composition Notebook listed on the supply list will be used as our Communication Journal. Please check this journal nightly and return them each day. If you have any questions or concerns please write it in the journal and we will do the same.

Newsletter: A Monthly Newsletter/Calendar will be uploaded to our class blog at the beginning of every month. It will inform you of the themes, events, etc that will take place during that month.
