Important Reminders:
- Videography & Photography at pickup and drop-off is NOT permitted for the safety of the other children in the classroom.
- Parking Lot Safety: Please ensure that you are not allowing your children to play and run in the parking lot. Additionally, supervision must be maintained by parents once you've picked up your child - please do not allow your children to run into the parking lot unsupervised.
- Sunscreen: Sunscreen should be applied each day BEFORE coming to school; we will apply it in the afternoon only. (Summer Only)
- Outside food and/or drink: These are NOT permitted in the school for allergy and safety purposes. We appreciate your help and cooperation with this.
- No Zipper Bedrolls: The state does not permit us to have bedrolls with Zippers on them. Please ensure that when purchasing your bedrolls that it is
- 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.
- Hazardous Items in Bookbags - We ask for your partnership in helping to ensure that hazards are not in your child's bags and accessible to children throughout the day. 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!
