Safety routines
Arrival and dismissal
A teacher greets each child at the door in the morning and walks each child to the right car in the afternoon. Only the adults on the family's pickup list may collect a child.
Visitors
Every visitor signs in at the office and wears a badge. Parents who help in a classroom sign in the same way.
Drills
We practice fire and severe-weather drills on a calendar the head of school keeps, and we name each drill to the children beforehand.
Allergies
Tell us about allergies at the visit; we ask privately once you enroll. Each teacher keeps the plan for the children in the room.
Illness
A child who is unwell stays home until the next morning, and a teacher calls a parent when a child is unwell at school.
Home days
The family leads home days, and the school reads the parent's notes and calls on Friday. A teacher who has a worry about a child tells the parents first.
