Principal's Update On 2024-2025 School Year

Dear FUSD Community Members and Friends,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at Partners Preschool! I am excited about entering my second year as principal of our wonderful school and programs. We are on an amazing journey of growth and inclusion in FUSD preschools and are so happy that you are choosing us for your family’s preschool educational needs.

As we begin a new academic year, I want to emphasize the importance of education, growth and community. Our dedicated team of educators is committed to providing a supportive and engaging learning environment where every student can thrive and reach their full potential. Together, we will work towards fostering a culture of excellence, respect and inclusivity at Partners Preschool.

We create opportunities for students to embrace challenges, explore the world around them, and always strive for excellence in everything they do. Parents, your partnership and involvement in your child’s education are invaluable, and we look forward to working closely with you to ensure your child is placed in the correct environment to ensure success.

To our dedicated staff members, thank you for your hard work and unwavering commitment this past year! Your passion for teaching and dedication to our school community are truly appreciated. We are blessed to have retained nearly all of our team.

I am excited to see what this school year holds for us all and am confident that together we will achieve great things. Let us enter the year with enthusiasm, positivity and a shared commitment to excellence.

Here’s to a successful and memorable school year ahead!

Best regards,
Christine Burnett

Principal, Partners Preschool

Our Vision & Philosophy

 Our goal at FUSD is to provide quality programming that fosters each child’s social and cognitive development, communication, and physical health in a safe and supportive, nurturing environment.  This is achieved through good care and instruction that incorporates materials and interactions that provide a variety of learning opportunities that are both developmentally and individually appropriate and help each child reach their full potential.

The developmental preschool provides services to special needs students identified through Child-Find.

 

Child Find For Children Ages 2 Years 10 Months Through 5 Years Old

Child Find is a process to "find" children who may have a delay in development or a disability in any of the following areas:

  • Vision and Hearing
  • Motor Control or Coordination
  • Behavior or Social Skills
  • Speech or Language Skills
  • Thinking or Performing Tasks, and
  • Adaptive Behavior.

Do you suspect your child or a child you know may have a disability?

Does your child:

  • Have trouble seeing people and objects?
  • Have trouble hearing voices and other sounds, or remain unusually quiet for long periods of time?
  • Have difficulty talking and pronouncing words properly?
  • Move about with difficulty when crawling, walking, or running?
  • Learn slowly and have difficulty understanding?
  • Have trouble playing with other children or getting along with adults?
  • Have other special health problems?

If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions and live in the boundaries of the Florence Unified School District (view boundaries).
