CLASSROOM OBSERVERS
Over the next month or so, there may be trainers, professionals, and other teachers in your child's classroom. These individuals may be observing the teacher, the class as a whole, or an individual student. (There will not be a clinical observation of your student unless you have previously given us permission to do so.) If you have any questions about these observations please reach out to Sarah Redder.
GETTING TO SCHOOL ON TIME
PLEASE get your child to school on time. We are a school NOT a daycare, and the school day starts at 8:30am. It is extremely disruptive to the other students and the teacher when students continually roll in late to class. Your child also misses the morning work that is important to the fine motor and cognitive education. As your children get older, they will have to be in their seats by 8:05am, so set them up for success with a good, consistent morning routine.
EXTRACARE is FULL (Most Days)
We are still full in aftercare most days. Get your calendars in early to get your spot. If you need a day and it was full when you filled out your calendar please feel free to check with us the day leading up to that day and/or day of to see if someone has cancelled or called out sick.

REMINDERS
SIGNING CHILDREN IN AND OUT
You must sign your student in at drop-off and out at pick-up! This is a super important for many reasons. This is how we find out if your child does or does not need hot lunch each day. The state also requires that we maintain attendance records. Most importantly, it's for safety! We need to know who is in attendance so if something happens we know exactly who is here, where to find them and who to contact
KINDIEPREP HOURS
KindiePrep school day hours are from 8:30am - 2:55pm. It is important for your child to be at school on time. Students arriving at school on time have the advantage of settling in, preparing their class materials, and focusing their minds on the day to come. Being late can also cause children to miss important information for the day. The doors to KindiePrep open at 8:15am giving families 15 minutes to get their student signed and settled in for the day. In the afternoon families have from 2:55pm to 3:10pm to pick up their children, unless they are signed up for extra-care. If children are not picked up by 3:10pm they will be put in extra-care and you will be charged $18.00 for their care. We will also call to inquire about your pick up plan. When picking up remember - NO PARKING ALONG THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING AFTER 3:10PM. If you are going to be in the KindiePrep building after 3:10pm you need to park in the parking lot. Thank you!
REMEMBER – If carpool is actively moving when you arrive you must go through carpool. You cannot skip or go around carpool - EVER!
