Special Message Concerning
Our Inclement Weather Procedure
As we have begun the season of Inclement Weather that sometimes forces school closures, I want to remind you that we will follow whatever decision is made for Oxford Public Schools and/or the University. If one or both of these organizations close, we will close as well. You may call the school voice mail at (662) 915-7444 to check for updates. Of course we hope we will not have to follow with this procedure but we want you to be aware of the decision process in case we have to use it.
A Word of Welcome
Choosing a school for your pre-school child is one of the most exciting and challenging decisions you will make in these early years. After reviewing the website’s contents, please take advantage of the opportunity we provide you to become familiar with our program. We invite you to attend our "Taste of Willie Price Open House" which occurs each November. We look forward to meeting and serving you.
