To: Potential Preschool Parents,

We are in the preliminary stages of planning preschool for the 2022-2023 school year and it is imperative that we determine our numbers for preschool.  The Deuel Preschool program is 3 ½ hours a day for 4 days a week. We will run a morning program and afternoon program. For the 2022-2023 school year there will be no tuition fees for your child to attend preschool.  

We ask that you notify us to request the morning or afternoon session so we may do our best to meet your priority needs.  Please inform us if you have carpool arrangements or other needs requiring a specific session.  We also ask that you contact us even if you are not planning to send your child. This will help to ensure an accurate list. We request that you let us know by June 19th.    

Please email Todd Rahlf at Todd.Rahlf@k12.sd.us with your preference for morning or afternoon class or send the contract back to the school in the return envelope enclosed.  Once again even if you are not interested in enrolling your child in the program, we ask that you please email to let us know.

There is a Back-To-School Fair scheduled for August 11^th. This is a great opportunity for you to come in and meet your teacher and let your children see the school. We will also request that you bring a copy of your child’s birth certificate to the Back-To-School Fair. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Sincerely,
Todd Rahlf
