Our priority will always be the health and well being of our families, students and staff. In keeping with that priority, we’re temporarily updating our policies during this current health emergency.

Due to the fluidity of the current situation, there will likely be modifications to our policies throughout the school year. We will continue to update you with any information from health authorities regarding new guidelines.

​

Temporary Modified Hours

Monday thru Friday

7:00 AM to 5:00 PM

 

Temporary Changes to Open Door Policy

During the current health emergency, we are modifying our open door policy and postponing family events. We hope the KidReports phone app will help parents feel connected during this time. We encourage parents to communicate with us via e-mail, phone and the KidReports app.

​

Updated Daily Arrival and Dismissal Procedures

Until further notice, we ask that you drop-off and pick-up your child at the car line. The car line should travel facing south, with cars around the back of the school nearest the playground so we don’t disrupt traffic for our neighbors.

 

Car line will run from 8:00am to 9:00am and from 4:00pm to 5:00pm. If you must drop-off or pick-up outside of the car line hours, please call us to have a staff member escort your child in or out of school.

 

We ask that you unbuckle your child from their car seat and help them to the waiting spot until a staff member can assist your child with the following entry procedures:

• Shoe and hand sanitizing.

• Health and temperature screening.

• Children will be required to properly wash their hands as soon as they enter the classroom.

    

Children will be released only to those persons listed on the enrollment form.

​

If there is an emergency requiring a parent to enter the facility beyond the designated drop-off and pick-up area, parents will be required to have their shoes sanitized, wear a mask and practice social distancing.

​

Meals & Belongings

Please pack lunch and snacks in a paper bag.
On Mondays, children should also bring a clean sheet and blanket in a clean reusable bag, these will be sent home on Fridays for laundering.

​

Your child will need to be symptom free without any medications for 72 hours before returning to the facility.

​

Sick children will be isolated in the office, until picked up, to reduce potential exposure to others.

Cleaning and Hygiene
