For Parents
Balancing the demands of work and family can be challenging to remember all of the things we as parents need to do. Here are a few important reminders about our school to be aware of:
Tuition is due on Friday for the upcoming week. Let us help make life a little easier, and save yourself from writing checks by signing up for the Automatic Payment program or payment by credit card. We have forms available at the front desk for those interested.
Please sign your child in and out each day at the front desk. If you are not sure what to do or where to look, please do not hesitate to ask.
Please do not hold the door open for individuals you do not know or recognize. Anyone who is supposed to be here will understand and thank you for it!
Check your child’s mailbox/folder at the end of each day for imporant notes and information coming home.
Our two inservice days of the year are on Election Day and President’s Day. Our school will be closed on these dates for our staff to attend required training.
Tune into 6ABC.com or Channel 6 News for information on school closings and delays.
All children are required to have an updated and current physical on file. Children up to the age of 2 years are required to have an updated Health Assessment Form completed at each well visit. Children 2 years of age and older are required annually.
Enrollment paperwork will be required to be updated periodically to remain in compliance with our state regulations and licensing. Be aware of information coming home of forms that need to be updated. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation to make sure that we meet and exceed the requirements.
Please refer to the attached letter and information pertaining to PA Act 153 and clearances for parents and volunteers.
In addition to all the efforts we are making to ensure a year of tremendous growth for the children, we are striving to make life easier for parents!
