How Snow Affects Pine Grove Preschool


By now, hopefully all our parents understand that Pine Grove Preschool follows the same snow policy as PUSD. Whenever Prescott Unified School District has a snow day, or a snow delay, we will be on the same schedule. For snow delays, that means we will open for drop-off at 9:30 instead of 7:30.

When we have inclement weather, it is wise to check with PUSD to see if there is a closure before driving your child to the preschool. You can easily check their web site at


Or call the school district office at 928-445-5400

Upcoming School Events




Pine Grove Preschool Is a happening place for the holidays!

I hope everyone has fit our Christmas program into their busy schedules for next week! The big night is Tuesday December 6 at 6:15 pm It will be held at Las Fuentes again, the same as last year.
Our classroom Christmas Parties will be the following week, Thursday the 15 and Friday the 16th. Sign up sheets are already posted next to the parent sign-in binders in the children's classrooms. Please sign up for one thing if you can, but don't feel you have to bring something additional once all the items are spoken for. We had a lot of extra after the Thanksgiving Feast, and are trying to streamline this sign-up process so that we don't over-do it!

PUSD is off December 19-23. Pine Grove Preschool will be open during that week for your convenience. Sign-up forms were emailed home and also put in children's cubbies. Make sure you return the form, no matter what your plans are for that week. Just mark either Will attend, Will Not attend or Other. Remember, those days are included in your tuition, not an extra cost to you, but we still need to plan our staffing around who will actually be here.Pine Grove Preschool will be closed for Christmas. December 26 through January 2nd. School will resume its regular hours on Tuesday, January 3rd.

Have a wonderful Holiday Season as we celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus!

Thanksgiving Feast


Our Thanksgiving Feast was a very special treat this year. The kids had so much fun preparing decorations, learning about the first Thanksgiving and colonial times, and pondering all we have to be thankful to God for.




During chapel time, Mrs. Adams got everyone in a festive spirit with some Thanksgiving songs and fingerplays.



They were all so precious dressed up as pilgrims and Indians that we got pretty camera happy (BIG SURPRISE)!







I'm sure all of you parents know this already, but its worth saying: You have some really special kids! Their hearts were clearly designed to worship God, as was seen in their recognition of all their blessings and their sweet hearts in prayer.


It was great to have some of you join us at our feast. I know the kids loved having you here!

And to punctuate just how abundant God's blessings in our lives really are - at the end of the two-day feast, the school still had eight left-over pumpkin pies! Evidently, all of the parents who didn't get a chance to sign up for anything just naturally brought pie. So, as one of the teachers who benefited from your generosity (yum, yum!) Thank You!
