Important Preschool Information
Sick policy - Please do not bring your child to school within 24 hours of having these symptoms - Diarrhea, vomiting, or fever. They must be free of symptoms for twenty-four hours without the aid of medication. Call as early as possible to let the teacher know that the child will not be at school.
Picking up children - We want to make the dismissal as smooth as possible and not interrupt the learning experience. Please ask the teacher what her dismissal procedure is. If you have to pick up children early, make arrangements as soon as possible so we can plan our day so the child doesn’t miss anything.
Snack - Your child will be asked to bring the snack about once every 4 to 6 weeks. This allows you and your child the opportunity to plan and provide a nutritious snack for snack time and it provides your child with the opportunity to share something with his/her classmates that is special. Ask your teacher if there are any children with allergies in your class.
Mission - We accept a free will collection for The ACSI missions sponsored child. This enables us to share God’s blessings with a child in another country.
Library Day - Once a week the preschool students will be visiting our school library. They will be permitted to choose and bring home two books each week. We encourage you to spend time reading these books with your child. We also recommend that you teach your child to keep these books in their backpacks when they are not in use. This way they are easy to find on return days. The books need to be returned to the school by the next library day. Preschool books can be identified by a yellow strip of tape on the binding. If books are not returned your child will not be able to take out a book until they are returned.
Our Library is open to the public and we have many books for and about children. Fill out a Library Patron form to participate.
Secret Readers - We have a secret readers program each month. If someone in your family would like to read a book to the children set a date with the teacher and arrive 15 minutes before the end of class.
Show-N-Share - Show-N-Share will be designated on your calendar. This activity allows your child the opportunity to share something with his/her classmates. Please keep in mind the Center’s educational philosophy when helping your child choose. No guns or toys that promote violence, magic or superpowers. Label all items.
