WHAT TO BRING

Birthday Celebration
Birthdays will be celebrated on or near the child's actual birthdate. Due to food allergies, we cannot allow foods to be sent in for celebration. Ways in which we enjoy celebrating birthdays include making the child a special birthday crown and singing happy birthday with classmates. In order to avoid hurt feelings, we cannot distribute birthday party invitations at school. A permission slip for release of contact information will be given out so that a student directory can be made available to you..

Personal Belongings and Safety
Each child will need to bring a spare set of clothes, packaged in a plastic bag to be stored in his/her backpack for Parker Road. Please include a pair of underwear, a shirt, a pair of pants, and socks. Please label the set of spare clothes, and all outerwear your child wears to school with initials. For your child's safety, please do not send your child with a necklace or garment with drawstrings. Every child will need a backpack, which should be brought to school each day. The back pack should be large enough to hold the child's "work" from school each day, plus clothing. Backpacks that zipper tend to be the easiest for preschoolers to manage.

Outside Play
Outdoor play is an integral component of the preschool program. Children will play outside daily, weather permitting. It is extremely important to send your child to school dressed in appropriate outerwear (jacket, boots, mittens, snowpants, etc).
