Attendance/Punctuality


In order to minimize classroom disruption and to give the student a sense of order and punctuality, it is important for all students to arrive on time for the program that begins promptly at 9:00 am. Children arriving on time are more prepared for the day of learning. A late arrival for the class is both disruptive and distracting for the ongoing learning presentations. Children also miss out on the introduction of new topics and materials presented by their teachers.

 

Arrival & Departure


To ensure your child’s safety, upon arrival, please accompany your child to a staff member, and remain with your child, until the staff has assumed responsibility for supervision. It is advisable to inform the staff of any changes in routine or behavior that may affect your child’s participation in the program. When picking up your child, please ensure that a staff member is aware of your departure. If a parent is unable to pick up their child, it is essential that the school be notified at the earliest of the name of the person who is to do so in writing. We recommend that you come for your child at a regular “specified” time. Children feel more secure when their daily pick-up timetable is maintained.

 

Releasing Students

When anyone other than the parent/guardian, who ordinarily takes the student home, is asked to pick up a student from the school, the following procedure must be followed:
The teacher must be given a signed letter from the parent/guardian stating the full name and identification of the person, who will be picking up the child. Anything short of this information in the letter will not be acceptable, to ensure the security of your child.
If it is not possible to get a written letter to us in time, we need a phone call authorizing us to release the student, and the full name of the person and identification number to whom the child/student may be released. The authorized full name of the person with identification must be on the release form.
 

Clothing and Possessions

Children should dressed in clothing that is appropriate for physical activity, the weather and the season. A complete change of clothing must be kept at the school in case needed. Remember to bring in a set of clean clothes, if previous ones are taken home to be washed. All clothing must be clearly labeled with your child’s name.
 

Birthdays

If you like your child to celebrate his/her birthday in the classroom let the teacher know well in advance. Birthdays can be celebrated with treats that can be served to all of the other children, such as, cupcakes, cake and cookies. All treats must be accomplished with an original list of all the ingredients and must be peanut free.
 

Music Lessons/Yoga Lessons

Music and yoga lessons are offered as extra curricular activities designed to enhance the child’s learning and developmental experience.
 

Toys

Toys may not be brought to school unless with the teacher’s permission (show and share days), to avoid being misused or broken.

 

Newsletter

A newsletter will be sent home to the parent/guardian once a month, announcing upcoming learning events, curriculum and notification of any changes. Newsletters will serve the purpose of learning events, important school and classroom information. This will ensure more effective communication between parents, teachers and administration. Parent feedback is important to our school. Parents are always welcome to meet with the supervisor/administrator regarding any concerns or inquiries.
