Important Update: Preschool & Wraparound Care Start Dates
Dear Families,
We are writing to share an important update regarding the start of the upcoming school year.
Preschool is still fully set to begin as scheduled on Wednesday, September 9th.
However, due to an unexpected delay with the state licensing process for Ms. Crystal's Preschool and Childcare, LLC, wraparound care and before/after school programs will not be able to start on September 9th as planned.
While the required Fire Marshal inspection was completed and submitted to state licensing as quickly as possible, Ms. Crystal is still patiently awaiting her final licensing inspection. As soon as services are cleared to officially begin, we will notify parents immediately.
We sincerely apologize for this unexpected delay and any inconvenience it creates for your family. We also completely understand if the temporary absence of wraparound care requires you to adjust or delay your child's preschool start date. Please communicate with the preschool teacher, Ms. Amanda Krebs, if this will impact your child’s start date via email at amanda.krebs@southgate.kyschools.us.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support as we work through these final administrative steps. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions in the meantime.
Respectfully,
Lois Ellison
Principal
Southgate Public School
