Summer at ISP is a great time for students to continue language-learning fun with a familiar schedule, small groups of friends, and plenty of play activities! This year we offer weekly themes with lots of water play and Spanish. We offer weekly enrollment for Pre-care, Half Day & Full Day programs!
Please take a moment to look for school wide information found outside the preschool office. Weekly lesson plans, schedules, and important class information is posted on the window of your child’s classroom.
Please social distance and exit ISP and St. Francis campus at your dismissal time. Hand sanitizing stations are available for your convenience.
Families will provide their own lunch and snacks. We will have morning snack at 10 and lunch at noon. Please include a cold pack to keep your child’s lunch fresh. We are a nut-free campus. Please adhere to other food restrictions posted on your classroom door.
We always do our best to safely enjoy the Arizona summer. Please remember to apply sunblock to your child before school, send a hat, and a labeled water bottle with a covered cap every day. We ask your written permission to apply sunscreen to your child at times during the day. We will have fun with “Water Day” every Friday. Teachers will be sending more information about this fun filled weekly event.
If you are new to our program, please complete and return forms under the “New Student Registration Forms” section. If you are a returning family, complete and return forms under the “Returning Student Registration Forms.” Returning students are asked to stop by the preschool office to make any needed updates to your child’s current file.
