EC Parent Newsletter

Greetings EC families,

We want to start by thanking families for participating in our book fair! We are able to give each classroom and related service provider teams $100 to spend on books!

We had our final Ernie Miller in house field trip yesterday. Our kiddos were able to see a presentation and interact with a snake and a salamander. They had a blast!

Our classrooms have been exploring life cycles and have been observing caterpillars turn into butterflies!

Please reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns,

Dr. Rebecca Dalton + Julie Fink

Please put first names and at least the last name initial on all items brought from home so that we are able to identify lost items. Also, please send back items that you do not recognize as you own and inform your teacher that you are doing so.

As our safety needs continue to be met and we have additions to our building the Early Childhood Crisis Response Team are going to continue to update parents and community members with our protocols.

We are focusing on making sure everyone who picks up our little lions who attend the ECSE and No-Fee programs are on the pick up list on skyward. Staff is instructed to double check if unsure. This could look like asking to see a drivers license or if the adult is on the pick up list. If you have questions or concerns please contact me directly

Childcare side:

Please ring camera doorbell and stand in front of it where we can see you. Please respond to the person speaking to you from the speaker. Parents have the option of picking up/dropping off their students in their classrooms or having a staff member do it for them. The Early Childhood Crisis Response Teams is working on funding for parents to have badges or stickers to wear in order for them be identified to everyone in the building. Please stay tuned for those details.

ECSE/No-Fee Classroom Side:

Our staff has been advised to ask everyone who comes to the door to state their name and the reason they are there before they enter. Upon entering the building, every guest will sign in, if they are going past the front entry way. Also, if a parent is picking up their student early from school, they are required to show their ID.

If there any questions, please contact Becca or Julie
