 Attendance and Absences
Attendance will be taken each day at your child’s home school and K+ staff will be notified of any absences. If your child will not be attending K+ because of illness, appointments, vacations or other reasons, please call your child’s home school. Please do not send your child to K+ if he/she shows any signs of illness. If your child becomes ill during K+ hours, we will provide a place to rest until a parent or guardian is notified.

 Lunch
The kitchen staff at will need to know how many K+ children are having the school lunch everyday. Parents will receive a copy of the lunch menu on a monthly basis and are asked to inform their child’s regular Kindergarten teacher which days their child will be having school lunch. Families who qualify for reduced or free lunch should fill out an application and submit it to the secretary at their child’s home school.

 

Snacks
Please let us know if your child has any food allergies, as snacks will be offered.

 Communication
Parents should feel free to talk with the K+ staff about their child and his/her activities. The staff will communicate with parents as needed.


Discipline

The K+ program adheres to the standard kindergarten discipline policy.

 Volunteers
There may be times when an extra pair of hands is needed. If you are interested in volunteering in the classroom or going on field trips, please let us know so that we can schedule accordingly. Parents are also invited to share their expertise with our students. Please tell us if you would like to make a special presentation that would benefit and enhance the K+ program.
