Parent Reminders
*Check daily reports for any needs such as extra changes of clothes, diapers, wipes, pull-ups, etc. Please check your child’s clothes in their cubby to make sure they are set for warmer, spring weather.
*Important reminder: Please keep your children at home if they are sick or exhibit symptoms of being sick. (Vomiting, fever, diarrhea, sore throat/cough, eye infection, rash).
*Be mindful during drop-off/pick-up. 3 minutes only under the porte chere. If you need to take a phone call, please park on the side of the building.
*Drop-off cutoff is 9:30AM, unless prior arrangements have been made with the office. For security reasons, the doors lock at 9:30- we are sometimes in the classroom and not always available to buzz you in.
*Every parent should have a security key card on hand. Please remember the Directors are not always at the front office. If you are habitually having to be buzzed in, we will assume you have lost your card and will issue you a $10 replacement card.
*To see all messages, parents must clock in/out with our ProCare touch screens. If your fingerprint is not working, please see the office for assistance.
