The Extended Preschool Program for four year-olds is a new program being offered to our four year old A.M. students for the first time in 2009 -10 in response to an increase in requests. It will begin at 8:15 and end at 3:15 on the extended days. This will allow for one drop off and pick up schedule for families with siblings in our kindergarten through eighth grade program. Students will bring a lunch from home and have a rest time. This full day program will afford them the opportunity to go to our art program, our science lab and engage in more extensive gross motor and themed learning activities.

2009-10 Registration is ongoing.   For information on how to apply, visit our preschool registration page. The priority for consideration for acceptance to St. Timothy School is as follows:

Early Dismissal Day Exceptions

On days that St. Timothy School has a scheduled dismissal of 12:00, the preschool program will dismiss at that time.  The following schedule applies to these dismissal days.

Inclement Weather Policy:

In case of inclement weather (heat, ice, snow) Saint Timothy follows Fairfax County’s announcements of “NO SCHOOL , “DELAYED OPENING”, or “EARLY CLOSING”.  Notification is available online or via email at: Fairfax County School Closings Announcements .  If there is a two-hour delayed opening, the morning session will have school from 10:15 - 12:15 and the afternoon session will have school from 1:15 - 3:15.If there is a two-hour delayed opening on a Monday and Fairfax County extends the school day to a full day, the morning session will have school from 10:15 - 12:15 and the afternoon session will have school from 1:15 - 3:15.

Special Circumstances: On the rare occasion when we are scheduled for a 12:00 dismissal and there is cause for an alteration in schedule, the following procedure applies: if Fairfax County announces a one hour delayed opening, the classes scheduled to attend will have school from 9:15 am to 12:00; if Fairfax County announces a two hour delayed opening we will not have school.  If Fairfax County schools are having a scheduled holiday, and we are not, please check our web site and WMAL AM 630 radio station for instructions on delayed opening, closing and early closing.  If you are unable to obtain accurate information, please find a friend, etc. who will be able to contact you. We cannot contact individual parents.

Carpool Policies:

AM Preschool Pick-Up Instructions:
Monday 10:45 - Tuesday through Friday 11:15

Cars must be in a single file line as they drive in front of the school for pick-up.  As cars come to a stop, the engines must be turned off and parents/drivers must exit their car to pick up their child at the front of the building.  Please be sure to close your car door behind you and hold your child's hand as you walk out into the street into the street to get back in your car.

As there is minimal time between the preschool sessions we ask that you be prompt and expedient as you pick up your child.  If there is a need to come into the school building, we ask that you park your car in the church parking lot rather than go through the car pool line.  We do expect all students to be well behaved and respectful while at school, including during the carpool procedures.

Cars must be in a single file line as they drive in front of the school for drop-off.  As cars come to a stop, the engines must be turned off and parents/drivers should walk their child to the front door of the school.  Parents are not to be entering into the building for drop-off purposes.  If there is a need to come into the building then we ask that you park your car in the church parking lot rather than go through the car pool line.  Please be sure to close your car door behind you and hold your child's hand as you walk them up to the front door.
