PANCAKE BREAKFAST
Our pancake breakfast will be hosted by Fire & Salt this year. It will be on April 12th and I will have more information for everyone coming soon. Tickets will be handed out the week we come back from Spring Break.
RESULTS OF THE SNACK SURVEY
We sent out a survey addressing snacks for next year. The results were that the school will provide snack next year and charge a supply fee to cover the cost of groceries.
REMINDERS:
- Please send a drink/utensils in your child's lunch.
- We are a NUT FREE facility so please read labels to make sure that a snack or lunch (especially lunchables as they contain desserts) does not contain any nuts or nut butters. Sunbutter is fine.
- Everyone has their own code, please make sure that you are NOT SHARING your code. If someone needs their code, please ask Shona or Patricia.
- Check your child's locker to make sure they have appropriate clothing as the weather is starting to warm up. If you have some, please send in an extra pair of shoes for your child's locker. We have some sizes but not a lot. If you are doing some spring cleaning, we can always use outgrown shoes.
- When playing on the playground, please encourage your children to follow the rules of the Nursery School. If you don't know them, they are in the Addendum 1 of the parent handbook. Also, please do not let your children play on the hill by the steps leading to our door and do not let them slide down the handrail.
- Please make sure that you are putting the lock on the gate to the playground. We have some children that will run from parents and that is an extra way to keep those children safe.
- Please do not open the entrance door to the facility if you hear the bell ring. We want to make sure that every child stays safe so we do not want to let a stranger in the school. Since the person picking up your child may not have access to this information, please pass this information on to them.
- Please do not leave your child unattended. If you take your child to the bathroom, you have to go in with them. They also can not be in the hallway unattended as they have to be with you. Thank you for helping us stay compliant with DHS.
Thank you to the families that participated in the Second Harvest Food Bank for the Love Your Neighbor campaign.
Did you know in Tennessee, all adults are “mandated reporters” and are required by law to report any knowledge or suspicion of child abuse. The number to call to report suspected abuse is: 1-877-542-2873. If you have knowledge about a possibly abusive situation, and do nothing, the state will hold you liable if that fact is discovered.
