FREEDOMLAND (V.P.K)

Welcome to Freedomland. My name is Fabiola Campos and I will be your child’s Pre- K Teacher. I am looking forward to having your child in our class this coming school year. I know we are going to have a fabulous year together. I am excited to see so many returning families and thrilled to meet all of the new ones.

WELCOME!

Welcome to Mrs. Fabiola’s Class!

Dear Parents and Friends,I am thrilled to welcome you to Freedomland Christian Academy! I am eager and am excited about all the learning and fun that will happen in our program this year! There are so many things I want for the children in my class: to know that they are special to God, their parents and the Freedomland community! To use the gifts God has given them to develop self-confidence, enthusiasm for school, basic math concepts, use of more descriptive language and improved fine motor control. We will all learn to work and grow together given time and encouragement. I believe in creating an environment for my students that is positive, safe, creative and fun and that children learn best in an atmosphere of comfort and where they feel successful.I have been teaching early childhood education for 14 years and I love it! My style of teaching is a multi-sensory approach where children are actively engaged in the learning process. I believe that the classroom setting is part of the curriculum and work hard to change and update centers during the year. I also feel privileged to be an extension of the family by setting the foundation for Faith Base learning with a curriculum that is centered on the Scriptures values and the truths of God’s Word. I am so excited about this school year and look forward to meeting you!

God Bless, Mrs. Fabiola Campos

Pre-k Orientation

Dear Pre-Kindergarten Parents,
Welcome to Freedomland Christian Academy! I look forward to a year of fun and learning with your child! Together we can make this a wonderful, positive experience. I am eager to get off to a great start and am very excited about all the learning and fun that will happen this year!
There is a great deal of information to pass on to you at the beginning of the year. Hopefully, I will be able to answer many of your questions in this letter. Please feel free to talk to me about any questions or concerns you may have.

Please note the following: 1. Clothing: Please make sure you have your child’s name on all extra clothes that they bring to school. This includes jackets, sweaters and sweatshirts. They will also need a complete set of clothes, including socks, to keep at school in case of an emergency. Please send clothing in a large Zip lock bag, with their name on the outside of the bag. If your child does need to be changed, please make sure their extra clothing gets replaced by their next school day.
2. Snack: We will have snack around 3:00pm. No morning snack please make sure your child has a good breakfast because our morning hours are all Instructional Time.
3. Drop off: Sign-In your child every morning in the Pre-k classroom.  Students of (V.P.K. 3 hrs ONLY) are not allowed in the classroom until 8:20am. Full day students, are allowed before but no later than 8:30am due to our class circle time begins at 8:45am. This time they need to sign-in and get prepare for circle time, thank you for being considerate of our classroom rule. I ask that after your child is settled in that you say your good-byes quickly. I understand to start that the first few weeks may be a little harder to make the separation, but I promise you they will be fine! I will call you if your child does not feel comfortable I promise!! I want what is best for your child .
4. Pick up: At 12:00pm, (V.P.K. 3hrs.). Please park and walk in and sign your child out. Please do not block the way for other parents to come-in or out. This will help insure the safety of all students. Your child will be asked to wait to greet you until after they have been signed out. The assigned person to depart your child will open the door to your child and will give you the attendance binder for you to sign - out your child. Remember there is an extra charge of late fee $1.00 per minute.
5. Newsletter: I will be sending by My School Work Portal a newsletter once or twice a monthly to keep you informed about daily happenings through a monthly calendar. The calendar will inform you of themes and letters being studied and any special days we have. The calendar may list special instructions so please watch it closely!
6. Parent Helpers: If you would like to help in the classroom, please sign up when you come to orientation day, there are some requirements to be a volunteer. Parent involvement and volunteering in your child's class will begin in October, Thank you in advance for your help.

7. Dress Code: We follow the same dress code as the rest of the school. Please check your handbook for specific information. No open toe shoes or sandals please! Shoes must have a back on them.
8. If your child will be going home with someone else you may add him or her to your authorized people on your pick-up list in the school office.
9. If your child is absent for any reason you will need to notify the office. If you would like us to also know that your child is gone please e-mail or call the office asking for me 407-935-9088.
10. Toys: Please do not send toys to school we have a variety of Toys that your child can use in his/her classroom. We are not responsible for any broken toy or lost toy.
11. Birthdays: If your child has a birthday during the school year, you are welcome to bring in a treat for the celebration. The celebration will take place during the scheduled snack time. Please check for any allergies the students have. If your child is having a party I ask that you not hand out invitations at school, unless everyone is invited.

I hope this information is helpful to you! Please check your child’s backpack daily. I ask that the children have regular size backpacks, no rolling backpacks.
Please feel free to talk to me if you have further questions not answered here. The school’s phone number is 407-935-9088.
We will have a wonderful year together, I can guarantee that!! I am excited to get to know your child and you. Thank you for choosing Freedomland! You made the BEST choice.
