PARENT PARTICIPATION

1. All communication with parents is done through notices sent home in a folder in your child’s backpack. Please be sure to check these every day! This folder will be provided by the school. We will also notify you through email.

2. The teachers will be sending home a newsletter once a month providing information about upcoming events and curriculum.

3. The Early Childhood Learning Center has 2 conferences per year for 3 – 5 year olds and 1 conference for the 2 ½ year olds. We will be discussing the growth and development of your child at this time. THERE WILL BE NO CLASSES ON CONFERENCE DAYS OR EXTENDED HOURS. FULL DAY KINDERGARTEN WILL BE DISMISSED AT 12:00 NOON. (Please check your calendars.) Babysitting will be provided during conference time only. Additional conferences may be scheduled on an individual basis as desired by the parent, teacher or director.

4. An Open School Night will be scheduled in the beginning of the school year. The teachers will discuss the curriculum and their goals at this time. THIS IS NOT A TIME FOR INDIVIDUAL CONFERENCES.

5. Parents will be invited for special events during the school year. Some will be listed on your calendars. You will be notified of all events as they are added to the calendar throughout the year. We will be having an end of the year program for all age groups. These will also be listed on your calendar.

6. We have an open door policy. However, we request that parents do not drop in to discuss issues while children are present. We encourage you to schedule an appointment to discuss any concerns that you may have. Please feel free to call the Director at all times. Please respect our teachers and Director by calling during the school day and not at home. All phone calls will be returned within 24 hours on school days.
