We have bittersweet news: Susan and Abbie will be retiring at the end of this school year (June, 2022).   Bitter because we have absolutely loved teaching your children and spending time with each of you and we will miss all of you!  Sweet because we both have new opportunities.  Susan and her husband are looking forward to some traveling.  Abbie and her husband are looking forward to spending more time with grandchildren.  We are both looking at ways we can volunteer (maybe together!) here at St. Stephen or in the greater community.
Father Ed, Shannon Battles and the preschool team are committed to carrying the vision of Little Saints Preschool forward and will work hard to ensure you and your children continue to have a quality Catholic preschool here at St. Stephen.  We will begin our staff recruitment in January--if you know of someone who is, or may be, interested, please have them get in touch with Shannon and Abbie.

Registration for Little Saints Preschool is underway! If you are interested in our Catholic preschool here at St. Stephens, contact Abbie Nelson at sstm.littlesaints@gmail.com.  We have space in all sessions (MWF mornings 3-4 year olds, TTh mornings 3 year olds, M-Th afternoons 4 year olds)  for Fall, 2022.

 

 

As you arrive to drop off and pick up your child, please remember the speed limit in the parking lot is 10 miles per hour.  If you're running late it's o.k!

INCLEMENT WEATHER:
Remember to follow the information from Kent School District to find out what we're doing when the weather is bad.  You can go to their website www.kent.k12.wa.us as well as check any of the three major networks for school information (KOMO 4, KING 5, KIRO 7).  
If Kent School District:
*has no changes, we have no changes
*has a one hour delay, we have a one hour delay
*has a two hour delay, preschool cancelled, we are cancelled (afternoon class may still be in session--we will try to notify you)
*is closed, classes cancelled, we are closed
If you have any questions or are unsure, please email Abbie (sstm.littlesaints@gmail.com) !
The parking lot at St. Stephen can be surprisingly slippery--be careful on winter mornings!
