If your child is not feeling well (stomach ache, coughing, uncomfortable from bad allergies, fever, throwing up, didn't sleep well the night before, etc., please keep your child home.
If your child was throwing up or has a fever, they should be 24 hours without symptoms to come back to school.
Our schedule is slightly different from
the big school. Half days or Days off will be announced in advance, usually via Remind! It is very important to sign up for this communication tool asap.

We do not change the children. They must be able to change and wipe themselves. If a potty accident happens, we will call a parent and they will be sent home to be changed if they can't do so on their own.

-It is recommended that the children wear the St. Charles gym uniform to make it easier for all. Comfortable shoes should be worn! We go outside to play if weather permits, so dress your child accordingly.
Ask your child each day what he/she learned in school.
Please label everything with your child's name, especially clothing.
We are writing our first names names each day. Practice at home too.
Folders come back to school each day.
Folders need to be emptied each day.
Marble notebooks are sent home on Monday and need to be returned on Friday completed.
Nap sheets are sent home on Friday to wash and then come back to school on Monday.
Birthdays-We can celebrate birthdays in class with a simple treat brought from home. When it is time, please reach out and we can discuss.
You can send me messages on remind Monday through Friday from 7am to 3:30 pm. I will check messages on my prep time.
Please don't send messages before 7am, after 3:30, and on weekends.
If your child is absent, send in an absence note on return. If absent 3 or more days, a doctor's note is needed to come back.
If you need to pick up your child early, send me a note and call the office.
If you are picking up a sibling for a half day, send a note and call office. Then pick up at my door at 11:10. This happens if the big school has half day and we do not. You may be picking up a sibling from the big school and also want to take your upk student early as well.
If you are picking up early for any other reason, you will go to the front entrance on Penn Ave.
The children must be signed in and out each day. They must be picked up by an individual that is on the emergency contact list (If a parent is not picking up). Please add all adults that you would want on this list.
