If your child is not scheduled to come on Thursday, parents are still welcomed to come and have their child’s picture taken, however, they would need to stay with their children. No money is due at this time. We do have a new system for the pictures that we will disclose on a separate email.
Please note that the pictures will be taken outside and the photographer will not be able to have contact with any of our students. Social distancing protocols will be in place including masks for the photographer. If you are not comfortable with your child taking pictures, please let us know right away. Sibling pictures can be requested. No class pictures will be done at this time.

Kids Helping Kids

Every summer our students chose an organization to help that supports children. This summer we chose the “Feed the Kiddos Organization” (Feedthekiddos.org) through the Second Harvest Food Bank because they feed children in the summer months when schools are closed. Our students raised $150 for the Second Harvest Food Bank.

Parent Reminders:
Parent Videos & Photos
If you are video-taping or taking pictures at our school they must be only of your child. Please do not post videos or pictures of other children as it is a violation of their privacy. If you have accidentally posted pictures or videos of other children, please remove them immediately. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Nut-free School
We have a nut-free policy at our school. Please keep all peanut items at home. We have children with severe allergies.
Medication and Sunscreen Policy Reminder
Just a friendly reminder that our medication policy states that we can only administer medicine that has been prescribed by a doctor. We cannot administer over the counter medication without a doctor’s note with explicit instructions on how to administer it.
Regarding sunscreen, if you would like your child’s teacher to apply sunscreen throughout the summer months, please complete the “Sunscreen Authorization Form” located in the front office. We ask that you bring your child in their own sunscreen and apply a coat of sunscreen before they come to school. All sunscreen will be applied after nap unless noted differently by a parent.
