Getting Started in Pre-K4

Little Flower Catholic Academy (PK 4) Information Sheet Welcome to the Little Flower Catholic Academy! 

First Day of School:  Thursday, August 18, 2022 (Half Day)

STCS Back To School Night:  Thursday, September 1, 2022

Wednesday, August 17th, between 8:00 am - 11:00 am, is a visitation day only for Little Flower Catholic Academy students and their parents. You are invited and encouraged to come during your assigned hour to familiarize yourself and your child with his/her  new classroom, his/her cubby, drop off school supplies, and meet the teachers. This will help ease the anxiety that some children  

and parents may feel the first few days of school. Please bring your child’s school supplies during your visitation on Wednesday. If you ordered an Edukit for your child, it will be delivered to the classroom for you.

We have staggered the students’ visits between 8:00 am-11:00 am so that the children, parents, and teachers can meet in smaller groups.  We ask you to adhere to the time schedule listed below if possible. You and your child may stay any part of that hour during your visitation time to help familiarize him/her with our class. There will be sign-up sheets, a questionnaire for you to fill out, and lots of game centers for the children to enjoy while you are here.  

Please let us know your child’s intended attendance choice at Visitation:  M-Th 7:55-1:00 pm; M-F 7:55-1:00 pm; M-Th 7:55-3:30 pm; M-F 7:55-3:30 pm.  We look forward to meeting all of you!

We STRONGLY encourage you to take advantage of these half day dismissals and take your child home  for a good rest during these first few days of school. Extra rest will ease their transition to a full day but Extended Care is available for those who need it. 

Please let your teacher know on Visitation Day if your child will attend Extended Care during this first week of school . 

FYI: The first school Mass that Little Flower Academy students attend is Thursday, September 8, 2022. Their “Tiger buddies” (4th  graders) are looking forward to meeting them!   Mass uniforms are not required until the first school Mass in October.
