The Cedar Falls Preschool Program is funded by the Statewide-Voluntary Preschool Grant and Head Start dollars. Children that live within the Cedar Falls Schools’ boundaries and will be age 4 by September 15 of that school year, are eligible to participate in the program. The tuition is free to all that participate. The district follows a "first come, first served" policy. Questions about the preschool program may be directed to the Administration Office at 319-553-2422.

This is a friendly reminder that we will open our doors for students at 8:30! Please do not allow students to arrive early unless they need to report for Safety Patrol as we do not provide supervision. With colder weather arriving we wanted to make sure families planned ahead to support student safety.

Gold Star Teacher - students will be coming home with Gold Star teacher nomination forms. They can be returned to our office.

General Reminders

Face Coverings - we strongly encourage the continued use of face coverings at school. Our goal is to keep everyone in our school learning! Thank you for helping keep all members of our school community safe!

Visitors and Volunteers - we will update you as we plan for visitors and volunteers to return. Thanks for your continued patience!

Arrival And Dismissal - we are working to help our students safely enter and leave the building. In the morning, we will ask students to arrive between 8:30 and 8:45. They will report to their classrooms. At the end of the day, we will first dismiss students by grade who ride the bus. Following this, we will dismiss students who are picked up or walk home. Our staff will walk students to the door. Our Kindergarten and 1st grade students will dismiss at their outside classroom doors, second grade will dismiss onto the east playground, third grade will also dismiss onto the east playground, fourth grade will dismiss using our main entrance doors on 8th street and 5th and 6th grade will dismiss using our 7th street doors. We appreciate families making and following consistent after school plans. Thank you for helping us support safe morning arrivals and afternoon dismissals!

Snacks and Birthday Treats - We are proud to be a Blue Zones school and encourage healthy choices when students bring food for their daily snack. In addition, to support safety this school year when celebrating birthdays, we will ask for families to bring prepackaged items to minimize handling. Thank you!

See you next week!
