A permission slip is required for the following:

1. All field trips.
2. For a child to leave school with someone other than their parent.
3. Dispensing of any medication to a child by staff member.
4. Evaluative screenings by outside sources.

During the year, our classes may take part in various community field trips. Parents will be asked to provide transportation or supervision. For safety reasons, we do not allow siblings on field trips. A permission slip will be required for your child to be able to attend. We require your child to wear their school T-shirt and tennis shoes on all field trips.

Children should wear play clothes that are comfortable and will not restrict them from participation in any activities. We strongly recommend wearing socks in sneakers/tennis shoes daily. One-piece outfits should not be worn. Flip-flops, sandals, cowboy boots, and tank tops are not allowed. Please note that Tempera paint is used in art activities and, if treated with pre-soak solution, should wash out of clothes.

Please dress children for actual weather conditions. We will go outside everyday (weather permitting) and are required to have children wear jackets in cooler temperatures. Dress your child appropriately.

Emergency medical treatment will be administered by our staff or by a paramedic. You will be contacted if your child has a serious accident while in school. If we cannot reach you, we will call the person listed on the enrollment form. A written signed report will be on file in the office for minor accidents and a copy will be sent home to the parents.

Fire drills are required by law and are an important safety precaution. They will be held on a regular basis.

Our main line of communication with parents is through daily interaction at drop-off and again at pick-up, as well as through the use of notes and newsletters, office letters and teacher letters. All messages will be sent home with your child and you will receive a monthly newsletter in the mail from Beneva Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) with an informational Little Disciples Preschool article. A copy of our Grievance Procedures is included in the Student Folder provided at Open House (or upon enrollment). It is our hope that the lines of communication remain open, positive and meaningful for all parties concerned
