ROLAND-STORY PRESCHOOL APPLICATION DEADLINE IS APPROACHING - Mrs. Laurie Arnold
Roland-Story offers a preschool class that is housed in the elementary building. This class consists of children that are 3 and
4 years old. It is an integrated program with regular education students experiencing a preschool program along with children of the
same age that have special needs. The program is offered to all children who will be 4 by Sept.15th. The class size is limited to provide all children with a high quality preschool. The program is designed to help each child reach his/her fullest potential and develop
a love of learning! The days are full of singing, playing, paint, glue, and learning! Preschool is Monday through Thursday offering a
morning and afternoon session. The morning group is from 8:30-11:15 and the afternoon group runs from 12:30-3:15. Due to the
limited size of the classes we will take applications until March 1st. We will then have a lottery type drawing to determine enrollment.
After the drawing on March 1st, you will be contacted by mail to let you know whether or not your child’s name was drawn and they
have a spot in the preschool program. For more information visit the Elementary home page on our website or call (515) 733-4386.
