Attention Hill PreK Families: Your incoming little Dillo is invited to our summer story times and get-to-know-you zooms. Our final one is coming up, so don’t miss out! Our Hill Pre-K team is made up of three teachers: Marci Adkinson, Michele Meadows, and Caty Winslow. We are excited about our 2021-2022 school year and cannot wait to meet everyone. These zooms are designed to let your student meet the Pre-K team and some of their fellow students. We will read a story, have a fun and quick activity, and end with a share time (approximately 20-30 min). We found that getting to know each other over zoom, in the comfort of our own homes, made the transition to school a little easier last year and wanted to invite everyone to participate who is interested! We will have a Back-to-School Night for Pre-K parents in August before school starts!
