If your child is sick, please keep
them home. This prevents the spreading of germs to other children and staff. Your
child must be fever free 24 hours. They must stay home 24 hours when sent home with
diarrhea.
If they are absent 3 or more days,
they must have a doctor’s note indicating they can return to school.
Your child can celebrate their
birthday with their classmates. Please discuss any plans with your child’s
teacher. Again, no peanuts are permitted in the school. Please make sure
anything you bring doesn’t contain peanuts.
We also want to minimize the amount
of sugar children eat. If you bring a cake, we recommend a juice with no sugar
or no added sugar. And we discourage goodie bags loaded with candy.
The children enrolled in the
preschool program wear uniforms (September – June).
Boys wear light blue, navy blue, yellow or
white shirts or knit polo’s and khaki or navy-blue pants.
Girls wear light blue, navy blue, yellow
or white Peter Pan blouse or knit polo. And khaki or navy-blue jumper, skort or

All children may wear sneakers or
