Keeping Up with Carrington

Thank you for an amazing week here at Carrington Windermere!

Our uniform sale has began and will go on until next Friday. Just a reminder that we can only accept check or card for uniform sales. Starting September 3rd, Intermediates and Private Pre-K will need to be in uniforms Monday-Thursday. Friday is free dress.

If you have not done so already, be sure to stop by the front desk to collect the August family projects. Your child will decorate the piece of cardstock with family pictures, stickers, etc. Please no 3D objects as we do laminate these.

All bedrolls should go home with your child on Friday at the end of the day, and then be returned on Monday morning with your child.

Please be sure to send a note through Tadpoles/Links 2 Home and/or email if your child will be in past 10am. We value our school as a private preschool, and not just a daycare. With this, we want to ensure that your students are getting the very most out of our curriculum and most of that occurs in the morning hours. Additionally, this helps your child's teachers and our admin staff be prepared and plan accordingly. We appreciate your help and communication when it comes to late arrivals in the new school year!

Thank you for being the best part of Carrington Academy! We are truly so thankful for each of you!

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, comments or concerns you may have - we are always here to help! :)

With Love,

Ms. Ashley

• Toys from Home: Toys from home are not permitted unless specified on the monthly calendar for special events/days. Soft, small loveys are allowed, but only for naptime, where applicable.

• 10am Drop Off Time: As mentioned previously, we want to ensure that all students are getting the benefit of our private preschool curriculum. With this, if you will be arriving for the day past 10am, please ensure you have called the school to notify us OR sent a message through Links 2 Home/Tadpoles. This also helps with planning teacher lunches for the day, and ensuring that the chef is aware of proper numbers for snacks/lunch as she prepares food for the day.

• If your child is out sick and diagnosed with an illness, please be sure to let the admin team know. This way, we can send out a notice of medical concern to the classroom so that parents are aware of any exposure to illness.
  
• Outside food and/or drink is NOT permitted in the school for allergy and safety purposes. We appreciate your help and cooperation with this.

Please be sure there is not chap stick, necklaces, choking hazards, medicine, plastic bags, etc. left in your children's bags. If needing to bring such items, please give them to an admin team member or your child's teacher when dropping off. We appreciate your help with this!

*Georgia Pre-K students are not permitted to participate in enrichment programs as they fall during their instructional class time.*

We want to keep you informed of temps that we are required to go outside. The below is the "Child Care Weather Watch" chart, and we use this to determine whether or not we're able to take the students outside each day, as well as how long we can go out.

• Green zones - all scheduled outdoor time is permitted
• Yellow zones - limit outdoor play to part of the time scheduled and watch for signs indicating the children need to go inside
• Red zones - scheduled outdoor time is NOT permitted; Flex room will be utilized during these times

It is our greatest joy to see the smiling faces of our students each day, and be able to experience those "lightbulb moments" with them. We thank you for trusting us with the care and education of your children.

If there is ever anything we can do to help, please do not hesitate to reach out - we are always happy to do so!
