Carbon School District Press Release
Another year of preschool is underway in Carbon School District.
Preschool teachers from Wellington, Creekview, Sally Mauro and Bruin Point met at the Utah State Capitol on Friday, Sept. 13 to receive training on the LETRS program. Lucy Hart Poulson, the author of “LETRS for Early Childhood Educators,” worked with teachers on early literacy foundations. Follow up meetings are scheduled throughout the year to help teachers as they gain greater understanding of oral language development and other critical early literacy and language instruction.
Preschool teachers also met in September to decide on goals for continuous improvement. This year, they are going to focus on helping parents increase learning interactions with their preschool student. A fun parent-child interaction activity will be sent home every month. For October, the activity centers around the book “The Gruffalo.” Each child will receive a free copy of the book along with some suggested activities to do while parent and child engage with the book. They hope parents and their children will have fun with these activities.
Carbon School District has preschool at Sally Mauro, Creekview, Wellington, Bruin Point and the Castle Valley Center. Tuition is $50 per month for the three-year old class and $70 per month for the four-year old class. The district also offers special education services for preschool age children. Those with concerns about their child’s development please call Beverly Martinez, the district preschool coordinator, at (435) 637-9150.
