ARRIVAL AT SCHOOL
The Day School opens with Extended Care at 7am. The school day begins at 9am for
our 3, 4 and Kindergarten students. Children may play outside on the
playground prior to 9am but a parent or guardian must remain with them until
8:50am when the doors to school open. School commences when the bell rings
at 9am.
Please
be punctual. It is important that your child be on time for school so that
he/she will be able to participate in opening activities.
Late arrivals to school (after 9:15am) must check in at the office. Parents of 2 year olds
may take their children to the side door of the classroom if they arrive after 9:15am.
The first day of school, parents are requested to pick up their child's name tag
from the office and then take their child to the church building where they meet
their teachers and are escorted to their classrooms. Children in the 2
year old program or in Extended Care before school, will go directly into the
school building.
Please notify the school (466-9392) if your child will not be attending,
especially on Field Trip days.

SCHOOL DEPARTURE
The school bell rings at 12 noon discharging the children who are not in Extended Care
or in the 2 year old class.
Each teacher brings her students to the Day School entrance where the parents
pick them up. Students enrolled in the Extended Care Program will remain
in their classrooms until the Extended Care staff collects them.
Please be prompt in picking up your child. Children get very upset when
parents are late. If you know you are going to be late, please notify the
school immediately. If you are later than 12:15pm, your child will be
placed in the Extended Care Program, and you will be billed the 'drop off' fee
of $15 per hour.
A late fee of $1 per minute applies to children in the Extended Care Program or
the 2 year old program who are not picked up by 6pm.
Parents who need to pick up their children between the hours of 9am and noon
must stop by the office and sign their child out. The office must be
notified (preferably in writing) if a child is being picked up by someone other
than the usual person, or persons listed on the registration form.

BEHAVIOR AND DISCIPLINE
Unacceptable behavior will be determined by the child's teacher on an individual
basis. Discipline may include diversion, separating children, removal to a
special "time out" chair, or loss of privileges.
Totally unacceptable behavior from any child, i.e. biting, scratching, spitting
or any intent to do harm, will warrant notifying the parents. If the
behavior continues, it may be necessary for parents to remove the child from the
school that day. Recurrence of such behavior is reason for permanent
dismissal from the School and Extended Care.

INCLEMENT WEATHER DAYS
On inclement weather days i.e. snow, ice, or storm conditions,
the Director or Assistant Director will decide that morning
whether or not school will be open. School closing will
be announced on Class Dojo or TV. The general rule is...if the
public schools are closed we are also.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
Your child's health is very important to us. If he or she
becomes ill during the day, you will be called to take your
child home. If we are unable to reach you we will contact
the person you named as your emergency contact on the
registration form.

mediction during school or extended care hours, the following
rules apply:
| 1. | Medicines prescribed by a doctor, must be in the original container with the child's name and dosage clearly visible on the label. The parent MUST sign a Written Medication Consent form--one form for each medication. A medication consent form must be signed by the doctor if the medication is long term. |

CLOTHING
School uniforms are not required. The child's clothing
should be simple clothing that is free from complicated
fastenings. Children feel more comfortable when they don't
have to ask for help with their clothing.
Our playgrounds are used daily, weather permitting. Sturdy
clothing is appropriate. Girls can play better and more
safely wearing slacks and shoes. Shoes for both boys and
girls should have rubber soles for safety. Please,
no flip flops.
The 2 and 3 year old children need extra clothes to leave at
school for use in the event of an accidental spill or toilet
accident. Please label all your child's clothing.

MEALS
A cold breakfast is served between 7am and 8:30am. The children
in Extended Care eat lunch at 1 pm. Parents should pack a lunch daily for their child. Place an ice pack
in the lunch box to keep contents cooler and safer. Be sure to write your child's name on his/her lunch
box. In the event that a child has no lunch, we will provide one at a cost of $10.

SNACK TIME
Snacks are served mid-morning. Parents are asked to send a bag of 'treats' to school once or twice a month, enough
for the whole class. Snacks must be store bought and must be
sealed. Treats may consist of cookies, crackers, pretzels, fruit
snacks, etc. Put your child's name
on the snack so they can be properly thanked during the Blessing.
Parents of the 2 year old children will need to bring in snacks
and lunch daily for their child.

two or more adults. The playgrounds are used for recess if the weather permits.

PARENT OPPORTUNITIES
Parents are encouraged to attend birthday and holiday parties.
Birthday parties are held during snack time. Check with your
child's teacher for party times and special treats you may want
to bring. Only pre-packed treats are allowed. No home baked goodies.
An Open House will be held the first Monday of school at
7:30PM. This is an ideal time for parents to meet their
child's teacher and learn more about the daily activities in the
classroom.
Kindergarten conferences are scheduled for the last Thursday and
Friday in January. Parents are scheduled to meet with the
teacher and discuss their child's progress. Report cards are
issued at this time. There will be no school for Kindergarten
students ONLY these two days. A
scheduled time for the meeting will be sent home with your child
in January.
Thank you for your support!

valuable or irreplaceable toys to school. We cannot be held responsible
for damaged or lost toys. Books may be brought to school at any time.
Please make sure your child's name is on the book.
