What to Bring

  • Each child needs to bring a lunch and drink in an insulated lunch bag. Children with a food allergy or strong dislike should have this noted on the Health Record.
  • A snack will be provided before Preschool and after rest time for children in Extended Care.
  • Extended Care children should bring a small blanket for rest time; the blanket will be returned weekly to be cleaned at home.
  • Toys should not be brought to school except on designated "show and share" days. No toy guns or weapons will be allowed at school.

Dress

  • Each child should be dressed for active play in simple, washable, practical play clothes with convenient fasteners for self-help. Girls should wear shorts or leggings under skirts/dresses.
  • The children play outdoors when the weather permits;
    each child should be dressed accordingly with an appropriate coat or jacket.
  • A change of clothes (including socks) for each child should be sent to Preschool in a zip lock or plastic bag labeled with the child's name; soiled or wet clothing will be returned home in the bag in case of mishaps.
  • Loosearticlesofclothing(jackets,sweaters,raincoats,etc.)should have the child's name marked in the label.
  • Children not yet potty-trained are to wear regular diapers and not the “pull-up style” while attending class unless they can be put on without undressing the child.
  • Children should wear closed-toe shoes. We have found that crocs are not safe to wear, especially in the gym;
    a pair of closed-toe shoes may be left at school if the parent desires.
  • Proper footwear is required for students to participate in structured P.E. time.
