Pre-K 2 Supply List


Dear Parents,

Welcome to Pre-K 2!  I would like to take this time to introduce myself.  My name is Elizabeth Rodriguez.  I am beginning my 21st year as an early childhood educator and for the last 16 years I have been working within the Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of New York. This will be my 11th year at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs School and I am committed to providing a solid, well-rounded, academic program, in a caring, nurturing environment for your child.  
If you have chosen to register your child into my class, I know that you value the importance of a high-quality early learning catholic education.  Pre-K will be one of the greatest milestones your child will reach. This important milestone will help guide your child and they will enter Kindergarten ready to learn.  It is also the most important foundation to prepare them to thrive in elementary school and beyond.
I know this school year will be a different kind of year, but I promise you all that I will care for your children and make sure they are safe as they learn the importance of social distancing.  With God’s protection He will see us all through this school year healthy and safe.
Please find attached the needed supplies for this school year.  I will meet with all parents via Zoom for our Parent/Teacher meeting before school starts to discuss with you our class regulations, curriculum, schedule, and answer any questions or concerns you might have.  I will also continue to provide any important information through this blog throughout the entire school year.  I look forward to meeting you all!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Rodriguez
