How do I know what kind of day my child had?

 We use a discipline calendar on a daily basis.  Your child will receive a 
sticker or a sad face on the calendar with a brief explanation next to it. 
Parent's sign the calendar every night.  This is a wonderful tool for 
communication.  It works great!!!

days.

What is the process for drop-off and pick-up?

Parent's walk their children to the front of the school in the morning.  
This is a great opportunity for parent's to meet one another.  At pick-up 
the teachers put the children into their car.

How do parent's/teachers communicate?

The teacher's give a weekly newsletter so that the parent's know what will 
be taught in class.  Teacher web provides another means of communication.  
Parent's can email teachers (through teacher web) if they have 
questions/concerns.  We have conferences after progress reports are 
distributed.  Furthermore, children have a daily discipline calendar that 
goes home so that parent's know what kind of day they have.
