Drop off: Parents/Guardians please accompany your child to class. You will enter through the front door. I will open my door 5 minutes before class starts and you are welcome to drop your child off at that time. Please pay special attention when driving through the neighborhood. Parents and children will be walking to and from their cars and we want to avoid any accidents. Also please be respectful of my neighbors. Do not block their driveways and follow the road out of the neighborhood. Please let me know ahead of time if you are running late.
Pick up: Parents/Guardians can pick up your child at the front door. Please be on time. I will charge a $10 late fee to any parent/guardian who is more than 5 minutes late. If you need to pick up your child early, please let me know I will try and have them ready for you to pick up.
Please pay special attention when driving through the neighborhood. Parents and children will be walking to and from their cars and we want to avoid any accidents. Please be respectful of the neighbors. Do not block their driveways and follow the road out of the neighborhood. If you arrive early you are welcome to park and wait in the church parking lot across the street, that way we can be extra mindful of the neighbors.
If you are unable to pick up your child, please let me know, ahead of time, who will be picking your child up. I will ask for the driver’s ID and will make sure it matches the name that you give me. Be aware that everyone on your emergency contact list are authorized to pick up your child. If I have not met the person before I will ask for their ID and make sure it matches the name on the emergency contact list.
Please Bring: All children should bring a backpack with an extra change of clothes in case of accidents. Children should also bring a water bottle labeled with the child’s name. I will provide your child with all the school supplies they need (crayons, scissors, glue, etc.). Children should wear clothes that are comfortable to play in and can be easily removed so the child can use the bathroom.
Yearly Schedule: We follow the Jordan School District’s traditional calendar for elementary schools. When you register your child for preschool you will receive a calendar that will show all the day’s we have off. In the event of a major snowstorm, I will follow Fox Hollow Elementary’s snow day policy. If the school declares a snow day, then the preschool will be closed for the day.
Children Absences: No deduction or refund will be given for children absences.
Teacher Absences: In case of an emergency or illness, I can to take up to five days off a year per class. If I must cancel class parents/guardians will be notified at least one hour before class begins. If I need to take any additional days off, accommodations, including substitute teachers and/or refunds will be made.
Potty Training: All children should be potty trained before the first day of school. This means that they should be able to communicate when they need to use the bathroom and should be able to use the toilet without any assistance from an adult.
I know that some children, especially younger 3-year old’s, can have a hard time potty training so please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Children are expected to flush the toilet, wash their hands, and be able to pull up their pants. It helps if parents are practicing this at home.
Accidents do happen and children should not be embarrassed by them. If a child does have an accident they can change into their extra set of clothes and I will clean and sanitize the area. Parents will be called to pick up their child if they do not have extra clothes to change into.
Illnesses: Please keep your child home if they are sick. The law requires that children exhibiting any of the following symptoms in the last 24 hours be excluded from school: Strep throat (the child can return to school after they have been on antibiotics for over 24 hours), Diarrhea, Vomiting, Draining rash, Eye discharge or Conjunctivitis (pink eye), Fever of 100.4 F or greater (must be fever free for 24 hours without medication), or Lice. Please let us know immediately if your child is exposed to or contracts a contagious disease. If a child becomes sick during school, I will notify the parents/guardians and you will be required to pick your child up.
Immunizations: Your child must be up to date on all immunizations. Please bring a copy of your child’s current immunizations. If your child is not immunized, you will need to bring an immunization exempt form provided by the Utah Health Department. Children who are not up to date on their immunizations will not be able to attend class.
Medical Emergencies: In the event of a medical emergency I will call 911 and then the parents will be notified. I am CPR and First Aid certified and will assist the child until medical personnel arrives.
Medication: A parent/guardian shall fill out a medication release form before any medication will be administered to a child. Please see the teacher if you need a copy of this form. All medication will be inaccessible to children.
If a child needs medication during school hours, it must be supplied by a parent. I will not supply over-the-counter medication to children, and I will not administer medication without a note from a doctor.
All over-the-counter and prescription medications supplied by parents must: (a) be labeled with the child’s full name, (b) be kept in the original or pharmacy container, (c) have the original label (d) have child-safety caps.
Parent Volunteers: Parents are always welcome in the classroom. Volunteering can be as simple as reading a book to the class or teaching the kids a new song. You can also help bring supplies for activities we do throughout the year. Please let the teacher know if you would be interested in helping in the classroom.
Birthday Celebrations: We love to celebrate the children’s birthdays. In class, the kids will sing Happy Birthday, and the child will get to choose a small present from our Birthday Bag. If your child has a summer birthday, we will celebrate their birthday on their half birthday. Parents are welcome to bring a small, store bought, treat or a class gift to share with the other children in the class. Please let the teacher know beforehand.
Holiday Celebrations: We will have activities that center around some of the major Holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Some of the activities include art projects, songs, and class parties. The children are welcome to dress up for our Halloween Party, I just ask that they do not bring any weapons, or masks to school. Parents are welcome to volunteer for any class parties. I will have signup sheets asking for some supplies for crafts and games. The Holidays are also a great time to have parents/guardians come to class and share some of their favorite Holiday traditions with the class. For example, I have had parents come talk to my class and teach them about Chinese New Year.
