Reminders

Drop Off/Pick Up Procedure

We will be creating your Personal ID’s and Passwords for those who have not made theirs yet (fingers crossed) so plan for a longer pickup for it may take a couple minutes.

If you had a Personal ID and Password last year or your child is coming from Kid Zone at the Family Center, then it will be the same at pickup this year. New families will create their Personal ID number and Passwords at pickup. Please email me to let me know if you have made a code and it hasn’t worked at pickup so I can figure out why so our pickup process can move faster and more smoothly. This year parents are allowed to enter the building, when picking up their child(ren). It is recommended to wear a mask while they are in the building.

Payment Information

Any questions regarding invoices and payments can be sent to lindavillaire@claytonschools.net.

Monthly invoices are emailed the last week of the month from lindavillaire@claytonschools.net. If you haven't seen an invoice, please check your spam for the email. Payments are due on the first of the month, September through May.

KZ Snack Policy

Students have the choice to get a provided snack each afternoon or bring a snack from home with approval from a Kid Zone staff member. If a snack is brought in, the snack must be a fruit, vegetable, or be peanut/tree nut free and have an ingredients label with it. If package or label cannot be sent in with snack, a picture of the ingredients label must be emailed to the Kid Zone Site Leader. If the snack contains peanuts/tree nuts, or was made in a factory that processes peanuts/tree nus, or no label is provided, the student will be asked to put the snack away. If a student has health or dietary restriction concerns with the snack being offered for the day, an alternative snack may be offered. If alternative snack arrangements need to be made due to other allergen or dietary restrictions, the family should contact the Site Leader to create a snack plan.

Toys Brought From Home

Kid Zone follows the school classroom expectations. No toys or personal play items should be brought from home. Items brought from home will be kept in the child's backpack or in a safe place until the child is picked up.

Dress for Weather

Here is a friendly reminder for when the outside temperatures are too cold.

We will have many colder weather days as we move into the new year. Please make sure your child(ren) is dressed for the appropriate weather. If the wind chill gets below 10 degrees, children will have to stay inside. If the temperatures get too low, we will shorten our time to between 5-15 minutes outside. We will go out every chance we get, so make sure they are prepared! We will try to stay out as long as we can, weather permitting.

Inclement Weather

School Cancellation (entire day): Kid Zone will be closed, parents will be notified via Clayton School Messenger.
Early School Closure or After School Activities are cancelled: Kid Zone may close afterschool care early depending on weather conditions. Parents will be notified by Clayton School District School messenger via phone/email on the set closing time determined by Clayton School District Administration.
Late Start Schedule: Kid Zone will be closed for morning care. Students should arrive to school according to your schools late start procedure.

As you may have heard, the school district has gone to a mask-recommended environment. With these new guidelines, parents are welcome to enter the building with/without a mask. Please let us know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns
