Child Care Chalkboard

Snow Closures: if the county declares "Emergency Travel Only" District #5, Trinity School and Child Care will be closed. You can tune your radio to KOFI (1180 AM) or Bee Broadcasting (98.5 FM, 105.1 FM, 95.9 FM, 106.3 FM, 880 AM, 1240 AM) to obtain the most current school information about school closures. You can also check online at Flathead County Superintendent of Schools-School Closures @ flathead.mt.gov/schools/closures.php

Trinity will be listed at the bottom.

A volunteer from the Lion's Club performs a quick vision screening during the month of January. We will have ours on January 21 at 9:30. Please let your child's classroom teacher know if you do NOT want your child to participate in this screening.

We are waiting for the snow to come before we plan our annual sledding field trip. Once we have enough snow to go sledding, watch for information to be posted.

Each year we are required to update our Emergency Contact (EC) and Over the Counter (OTC) forms. These forms will be given to you the first full week of January and expected back by January 23. The class that has all of their forms turned in first will receive a "Hot Chocolate Party."

Childcare Sunday is February 15th. We will be singing at the 10:45 service followed by lunch after the service. Please plan to join us and invite your family and friends.

We want to remind you of our current Health Policy. This can be found on page 7 of the parent handbook and reads as follows:

Trinity Lutheran Child Care Center is not licensed to accept sick children. Children who arrive at the center in ill health will be asked to return home. We will do a daily health check upon arrival of each child. This is a casual observation of your child and we look for overall wellness, not for signs to exclude them. If the child is too ill to participate in our daily activities, including outdoor time, then the child is too ill to be at the center. Children who have been sick will not be admitted into the center unless they are completely over their illness and no longer contagious. For the protection of all the children and our staff, your child must be kept at home if signs of illness are showing such as but not limited to the following:

a. Temperature of 100 degrees or more with one or more additional symptoms of illness; or a temperature of 101 degrees with no other symptoms

(must be fever free without medication for 24 hours before returning)

b. Sore or discharging eyes, ears, or throat

c. Intestinal disturbance, diarrhea or vomiting

(must be free of symptoms for 24 hours before returning)

d. Any signs of head lice/nits

(must be treated with minimum OTC kit before returning - no home remedies)

Every June we charge a $50 summer activity fee. This fee covers the cost of transporting the children on field trips. To better track the use of this money, we have devised a new system. For each field trip with transportation; whether our bus, the van, or Mountain Climber we will subtract $2 from your fee. When your balance reaches $0 we will need to charge you for additional transportation. For those who have not paid the $50 fee (did not attend in June), we will add the $2 to your field trip fee.
