From the Principal’s Desk

Dear Touchstone Families,

The teachers have all been working very hard this week to get the classrooms set up and ready for the first day of school on Tuesday, September 6. The cubbies are labels, the toys are cleaned, and the lessons are written! We are only missing our wonderful students and families!

Each of us here at Touchstone is looking forward to a fun filled school year. On the first day of school, please remember to bring the paperwork from your Welcome Packet along with any items for the classrooms that were requested.

I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce you all to our newest staff member; Ms. Paige! Ms. Paige has a background in theatre and has taught several theatre camps for many different age groups. She will primarily be working with the PreK students in our After School Program. Please join me in welcoming her to our wonderful team of staff members. I know she will make a great addition!

I hope you all have one last fun summer weekend before we begin another fantastic school year!

Thank you,

Gordon Kingsley; Principal

From our Education Department
