Hello, I'm Denise Haley Director
of Jeff Davis Pre-K. I would like to welcome you
to Jeff Davis Pre-K. Thank you for choosing our
team to serve your child. Recent research
has shown that children who attended a Georgia pre-k
program were more likely to meet standards on
state assessments. Pre-K also help students to
develop healthy social and emotional learning skills.
All students at Jeff Davis Pre-K receive free
breakfast, lunch, and a snack each day.
Jeff Davis Pre-K utilizes
the We Can curriculum to support mastery of
the Georgia Early Learning and Development standards.
All of the teachers at Jeff Davis Pre-K
are Georgia certified in Early Childhood Education
and engage in continuous professional learning.
Pre-K students participate
in a structured physical education program that
focuses on basic drills and agility as
well as team sports. Student
drop off is located at the front entrance of the
Pre-K building. Parents and Guardians should enter the parking
lot from Bell Street and pull around to the front
entrance of the school. The Pre-K drop-off time
is from 7:15 a.m. until 7:50
a.m. and staff members will be on duty
to assist with this process. Students will need to exit the
car on the school side or you may park your vehicle
and walk your child to the building. The doors will be locked
at 8 a.m. therefore students arriving
after 8 a.m. are considered tardy and must
be signed in by an adult who is 18 years or
older. Pickup students may be picked up
at 2:45 p.m. using the same process
as the morning drop off procedure. Parents
and Guardians will be given a pick-up number card. This
number card must be displayed in the windshield area
of the vehicle. Students will not be released
without a pick-up number card, so if you
do not have the pick up card. You will be required to park
and come inside the front office. Where you will need to show
your identification to have another card printed.
If there is a change in your child's transportation.
We must have a note or phone call prior
to 2 p.m. to ensure that we
can make the necessary arrangements. Please note
that we cannot take students off of a bus. A
picture ID is required to sign a student
out of school. The parent guardian will list the names
of individuals who have permission to sign students out
of school. Please note that anyone signing a
student out must be at least 18 years old.
Also, there will be no student sign outs
after 2:30 p.m. daily. Any
change that needs to be made to a student sign out card
must be done in person. Our bus students
will load around 3 p.m. Please
remember that an adult must be home when the bus arrives. Our
bus drivers will not leave small children
without adult supervision. Also, students
must follow the bus rules in order to continue to
ride the bus. If you are undecided
about enrolling your child in pre-K I
encourage you to make the choice today to register your
child and provide the foundational platform
necessary that will ensure a successful educational
journey and help promote a lifelong
desire for learning. On behalf
of the Jeff Davis Pre-K staff we are excited
to have the opportunity to serve your child. We
look forward to working with you to ensure that your child
has a successful and rewarding Pre-K
experience. Please contact Jeff Davis Pre-K
if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you.
