Reminders:
Families w/o AM Care must use the car line when dropping their child off at school.
PM Care pick ups – Parents and children aged 3 and older must wear their face mask when entering the building.
Sunscreens, lotions, creams, over the counter medicine, chap stick, prescription medicine –
Normally, parents would fill out a form at the front desk and leave the item there, but now that’s not possible. The new protocol will be to send us an email before you drop off in the AM. Then, hand the item off to the staff person upon dropping off or put in your child’s bag; we’ll get it out before school starts. Sarah and Kristi typically read their email before 8:30 drop off or immediately after.
The email needs to tell us:
- Name of item
- How much to use
- What time to give or apply
- If it needs to return home each day (ie) prescription medicine.
For example: Sunscreen, apply to face/arms/legs before going outside. Or, chapstick, use as needed.
Ideally you would send the email to: kgaultmontessori@gmail.com, sarahspelbring@gmail.com and the child’s teacher. This will ensure it’s retrieved ASAP.
Sending things to school via bag – If you are sending anything to school, it’s good to let us know via email. We do not regularly check the children’s bags.
School emails – Notes Home or emails addressing a specific subject (for example: Please remember to pull up to the cone when dropping off or picking up,) is being bcc to everyone, not just your family. If it’s an email only to your family, we’ll address it: Good Morning/Afternoon (specific parent name) …
Extra Masks – are for the emergency that may happen here at school-a very productive sneeze. If you want your child to or your child needs to switch out during the day, leave an additional mask in their bag.
If your child is vomiting and/or has diarrhea, they must stay home for 72 hours since their last symptom; even if this happens over the weekend.
Covid – If someone in your child’s household is waiting on a Covid test or experiencing Covid symptoms, do not send your child to school until you receive the results.
