Eaglet Gazette
Enfield Head Start, Integrated Pre-K, PK STEAM Academy
March 10, 2023
Greeting SELC PK Families,
It's time for another friendly reminder about our parking lots. It is with urgency that I remind everyone to reduce speed and increase attention when coming and going. I also thank you in advance for treating Mr. Dino, our security guard, with respect and a shared understanding that he is not trying to give anyone a hard time. He is just trying to keep everyone safe and keep the traffic flowing.
Many of our Eaglets learned about Elijah McCoy this week! Elijah McCoy was a mechanical engineer and a foreman. McCoy invented and patented an automatic oiling device for the moving parts of steam locomotives, otherwise known as the “oil-drip cup.” See below to learn more about Elijah!
Reminder:
- We move the clocks back an hour this weekend!
- Next Wednesday the 15th is an early release for students:
Head Start Part Day: Dismissal at 11:30
Head Start Full Day and Extended Day: Dismissal at 12:30
Integrated Pre-K: No PM sessions
PK STEAM: Dismissal at 12:30
TO CLARIFY: IF YOUR CHILD ATTENDS HEAD START OR INTEGRATED AND THEY WILL BE WITH US AGAIN NEXT YEAR DUE TO THEIR AGE, YOU DO NOT NEED TO RE-APPLY!!! ADDITIONALLY, IF YOUR CHILD IS GOING TO KINDERGARTEN YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REGISTER THEM AS THEY ARE ALREADY ENROLLED IN EPS!
