Preschool Program
Parent Involvement

 Preschool Program              AuSable Primary            CASD

 
Parents are their child’s first teachers and an important part of the learning process. They build the foundation for which all other learning occurs.  Parents are always a welcome partner in our classroom.  You can call ahead to arrange a specific day that works for you or just show up.  We are flexible and would love to have you.

 

All parents/volunteers must sign in at the office before entering the classroom.

ALL parents/volunteers must fill out the volunteer screening
that is required by state licensing rules and regulations. 
Upon acceptance into the program you will complete this form at orientation so that you are ready to volunteer from the first day of school.
