Dear KG Parents:
Thanks to all our wonderful Mama’s and Baba’s who attended our recent Parent Visit Day on Sept. 29! Your support and participation means so much to both your child and their teachers. We look forward to building a strong partnership between home and school during the coming year. Remember to sign up for a Parent Teacher conference for either Monday, October 17 or Tuesday, October 18. Conferences will be held every 15 minutes from 4-8pm on both days. Sign up sheets are out at the entry gate, next to your child’s classroom sign in/out. Conferences are for parents only, no children. This is a chance to check in on your child’s progress and adjustment to school as well as have any questions answered. We look forward to seeing you! In our efforts to maintain a healthy environment for all our students and staff, I am sharing our policies regarding medication, lice and toileting issues. MEDICATION: Your child’s registration file MUST include a completed Medical Form indicating any allergies or chronic conditions your child may have. Please check at the main office to be sure your file is complete. If your child requires any type of medication, parents must bring the medicine and the Doctor’s orders to the Nurse in the main building. The nurse will administer prescription medication. The ECE staff DO NOT administer medication, other than special life threatening cases. If your child comes to school, we assume they are able to participate in the regular school day, which includes all classroom and outdoor activities. We do not have the staff or the facilities to provide specialized care for a child who is ill. If your child becomes sick at school, we will call parents to come and pick them up. If your child arrives at school ill or with a fever, you will be asked to take them home. Bringing a sick child to school is unfair to the child, their classmates, and teachers who may then be exposed to the illness. LICE: Lice happen, and lice spread. Our wonderful school nurse does regular “lice checks” at ECE. If a child comes to school with lice, it will spread. If lice are found on your child, you will be called to pick them up from school immediately. We will provide you with written instructions on how to eliminate the lice. After treatment, bring your child to the school nurse, not to ECE. The nurse will give the all clear for your child to return to class. TOILET: Part of being ready for school is the ability to independently use the toilet. Children coming to school in diapers is unacceptable and sends a mixed message to your child (baby or big kid?). Please be sure you are supporting your child’s toileting skills at home. Accidents happen. Staff will assist your child to clean up if there is a “liquid” accident. Be sure your child has their “extra clothes” bag at school. If your child has a “solid” (bowel movement) accident at school, we will call parents to come and clean your child or take them home. Again, we do not have the staff or facilities to deal with major toilet issues. It is our hope to create a strong partnership between home and school, working together for the health, safety and success of all our students. We need and appreciate your understanding and support. As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Shukrun, Ms. Pasha - [email protected] Comments are closed.
