Friday, September 17

As promised, here's the web version of the General Information update sent home this week:


General Information

 
Admission:


The preschool has a non-discriminatory admissions policy for all children.



Arrival and Departure:


Preschool carpool begins at 8:50 am and preschool activities begin at 9:00 am.


Dismissal carpool for children starts at 11:50 am. PLEASE BE PROMPT! The late pick-up fees are $5.00 for the first 15 minutes and $10.00 for each additional 15 minutes. This is a transition, planning and cleaning time for the teachers. Please call the preschool at 897-7568 if you anticipate being late because of an emergency, so we can prepare your child. It is very upsetting to a child to be picked up late. Also, please try to put your child’s car seat on the RIGHT side of the back seat for easy access in getting your child in and out quickly at carpool time.


Lunch Bunch will be offered Monday through Friday from 12:00-1:00 at a cost of $5.00 per day.  Please send the money along with a note on the morning of attendance.


Written Messages:


Dismissal time is an important part of the day’s routine. If you need to change the plan you have registered with us concerning your carpool, please send us a written note. Children sometimes invent play-dates with friends without the parents’ knowledge! We need to have any changes in writing before we release your child.



Health:


The staff will make every effort possible to protect the health and safety of each child. Your cooperation is expected to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. You should keep your child home if he/she has symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, runny nose, sore throat, skin rash, earache, coughing, or fever. If your child develops a contagious disease, please notify the teacher/Director in order that other parents may be notified of the possible exposure to their children. The State Health Department REQUIRES this.


If your child becomes ill during the morning, you will be contacted immediately and your child will be isolated from the other children until you can pick up your child. Please do not send your child to school if he/she shows any signs of illness, including colds.


The Health Department and the State of Georgia require an immunization record from your doctor each year. The form 3231 must be in the office within 30 days.


All 3-year-old children who are entering the 3-year-old classes MUST be potty-trained.
