John Paulding 2010-2011 School News

 Message From the Principal

Welcome to the Prekindergarten and Kindergarten Programs at the John Paulding School!  As a result of the hard work and generous donation of time and energy on the part of the entire staff, we have successfully moved from Tappan Hill School and recreated a wonderful learning environment in our new site.  Whether your child is entering the Prekindergarten Program or beginning Kindergarten, this is an important year in your lives.

Parents are partners with educators.  Together we can provide a rich and rewarding experience for children as they journey through their school years. Research has shown that there is a high correlation between parent involvement and student achievement.  I welcome you to participate in your child’s educational experience and encourage you to plan to be involved in your child’s school program from the beginning.  Home Visits are a wonderful way to start the year.  They provide a memorable way for you, your child and their teachers to get acquainted on a personal level while acknowledging the importance of what each child brings with them to school.  These visits will take place during the first two weeks of school (see calendar). 

Each year I excited about the incoming classes.  This year I am especially looking forward to embarking upon a journey in a “new kingdom of early childhood” built upon the legacy of Tappan Hill School here at the John Paulding School.  I am certain that this will be a wonderful year full of joy, discovery, learning and fun!
