Emergency Cards
· We will keep a card on file listing the names of people who may pick up your child at school. You must notify us in person if you want anyone added or taken off your child’s list. Only authorized people may pick up your child. They must have photo identification with them when they pick up. If your child is not picked-up and no phone call has been received after 15 minutes (3:30) authorities will be called.
· We must always have your child’s current emergency information on file. Notify us immediately if your address, phone number, or emergency numbers change. We will contact you first in the event of an emergency using your home, cell phone, or work number. If we cannot reach you, we will call your emergency contacts.
Drop Off/Pick Up Procedures
- Do not park in the bus lane.
- An adult must ALWAYS walk the preschool child to the classroom.
- Walk your child into the building; have them use the restroom and wash their hands, before entering the classroom. You will know when it is time to come into the classroom, when the teachers have opened their door. You need to wait with your child in the hallway until then. Please feel free to look through and check out a book from the Lending Library located in rolling cart outside my door. If it is not there in the morning and afternoon please let me know. Once you both have entered the classroom, you must sign in your child on the attendance clipboard, while your child hangs up their back pack & signs in at the smart board.
- Once your child has signed in, they will find their seat & sit down for breakfast. It is important that you let your child open their own food.
- If for any reason you need to drop off late, or pick up early, please let myself or Mrs Carolyn know.
- In the afternoon, we will open the door to signal that is time to come into the classroom and pick up your child. (If the door is closed please wait in the hallway.)
- The doors will be open on normal days at 8:50 and close at 9:10; open again at 3:00 and close at 3:25.
- If you come in after the double doors have locked, you just check in at the office with Ms Linda, & she will give you a Check-In pass. Please give myself or Mrs Carolyn the Check-in pass so we know that she has marked your child into Infinite Campus.
School Supplies
- Please bring a backpack every day. In the bag please provide a full change of clothes in case of accidents. These spare clothes do not have to be school uniform. Preschool children are required to follow the District dress code. A copy of the dress code is available. Please let us know if you need assistance in getting uniform clothes.
- Towel or small blanket which is used for rest time; we will supply a rest mat. No other supplies are required.
- The temperature in the room fluctuates a bit, so leaving a jacket at school is always a good idea.
Attendance
PLEASE CALL THE SCHOOL WHEN YOUR CHILD IS ABSENT: 319-433-2920.
- Doctor’s excuse will be requested. A child can not return to school before being symptom free for 24 hours. ( This means if you child is sent home on Tuesday, they can not return to school on Wednesday.)
- It is important that you bring your child at 9:00 when school starts. Constantly bringing your child late is doing your child a disservice . They are missing out on very important learning time.
Breakfast, Lunch, & Snack
- We serve breakfast, lunch & snack daily. If your child has eaten breakfast at home, parents will need to inform the teachers. Breakfast will STOP being SERVED at 9:15.
- Please inform us of any medical or dietary restrictions.
