Dear
Families,
Welcome to our website and our great
school! It
is our pleasure to introduce you to our very special school experience!
You will find that our school is very unique. We are one of the
longest serving preschools and private Kindergarten programs available in
the Las Vegas Area and the only Episcopal school in Nevada. We provide
one of the most innovative 2-6 programs in the greater Las Vegas Area.
In addition to our new full day Kindergarten and Toddler programs, we also
provide on site special classes in Dance (Lisa Peck), Spanish (All Saints'),
Piano (NV School of the Arts), and Computers (Cranium Kids). All of
which provide enrichment in areas that research has proven to help the child
succeed in later years. Our staff is experienced, enthusiastic, and very
caring. We keep our class sizes low intentionally to better
personalize instruction, attend to safety, and care for the well-being of the
child.
The mortgage crisis of this past
fall put our school at risk of closure because so many of our families faced
financial difficulties, but the staff and parents came through in an emergency
and raised thousands of dollars to keep the school going. Now, we are
stronger, have saved money to put aside in case of emergency, instituted new
policies to keep our school strong, and aggressively and creatively put our
school forward to generate greater awareness of our wonderful programs.
You will find many All Saints' families in Las Vegas that will attest to the
school's special magic. Thanks go to so many parents, staff, church
members, and community helpers that made this all possible! We are
committed to keeping the school strong and serving the greater Las Vegas area
as a community treasure. That means not sacrificing our affordable
rates, high quality programs and small class sizes!
You will notice that we are
currently looking for a new director and a preschool teacher. I can
honestly say that these staff changes would have occurred despite this year's
challenges and do not reflect anything but time passing. (The teachers
had told me when I first started that they would give me one or two more
years.) While staff turn over is usually very low at our school from
year to year, it happens to be the case that this school year we had a few
retirements and a director change at the same time. I assure you that it
is our goal to make this transition as smooth as possible for all
concerned. I strongly believe that our staff is very motivated and of
the highest quality. I know that I have taken great care in selecting
replacements for retiring staff members, and I am confident that Father Ed
(Rev. Eldwin Lovelady) and the Day School Board will do the same when it comes
to choosing a new director. In the meantime, we have a great Summer Camp
and coming school year planned.
Please know that our four long serving staff
members will be missed. We wish them very well in the future and thank
them for their dedication and caring service.
Donna Dahlberg - since 1984
Linda McCormick - since 1985
Susan Schreiner - since 1987
Barbara Suntken - since 1990
Thank you for your interest and time
today. We look forward to serving you. Please do not hesitate to
call the Day School office at 878-1205 or Fr Ed at 878-2373 if you have any
questions.
Most sincerely,
Dyan McCarthy, Director
