Magda's Message
Dear SRPS Parents,

It was great to see everyone back from Spring Break. There were lots of big smiles and excitement to see friends and teachers!!

What a great month we just had, from leprechauns visiting our preschool to rodeos and safari adventures, from visits to outer space and the farm to Special Visitor Nights. We finally waved goodbye to winter and happily welcome spring!!

It is great to see how much our young students have grown over the last few months and the new skills and the independence they continue to develop. Their fun and excitement shows on their faces when they finally are able to go across the monkey bars, or catching a ball. When they visit their garden and discover that what they planted over the fall has finally grown, they are even willing to try the vegetables they find there. They are just amazing!!!

Thank you for allowing us to celebrate this time with your children!

Sincerely,
Magda Taglienti

CAUTION!
As the temperatures warm up some of our native critters (including snakes and scorpions) start to come out more.  Please keep your family members on the sidewalks and within site at all times.  
Being surrounded on three sides with the Phoenix Nature Preserve creates more opportunities for these creatures to be under plants, alongside of sidewalks and within in the rocky areas. 

On the other hand, we also get many animals building nests and having spring babies, so watch for those too! 

Let a staff member know immediately if you see anything potentially dangerous on or around our campus!
*IMPORTANT*
SECURITY PROCEDURES
SRPS is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for the children and its staff. Throughout the school year, we've been having our front doors locked while children are in attendance. This procedure allows us to maintain a secure facility.

As we continue moving forward with our efforts to increase the security in our campus, our new security system is allowing us to schedule a time to lock and unlock our doors automatically. The doors will now unlock 10 minutes before and after drop-off and pick-up time. If you are visiting our preschool during school hours, please use the main entrance and one of our volunteers at the front desk will buzz you in.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION AND UNDERSTANDING!
