Common use of Special Issues Clause in Contracts

Special Issues. ‌ It has been our experience that some of our school policies stated in the Parent Handbook need to be reiterated. Please give attention to the following issues:  Our school policy states that children in the 3 year-old through Pre-K classes must be potty trained. This means that children in these classes must wear briefs or panties to school; diapers or pull-ups will not be allowed. We realize that sometimes children have accidents, therefore we do supply the appropriate clothing to allow for these occasional instances. Also, teachers are available to assist children in the bathroom if help is needed.  Open-toed shoes and flip-flops are not appropriate attire for school.  Please label all removable clothing items and lunch boxes with your child’s name.  Absolutely, no violent action figures or toy weapons are allowed to come to school.  Please make every effort to arrive at school on time. Consistent tardiness may result in a late charge.  Monthly tuition is due on the first of the month. A late charge will be applied if payment has not been made by the 10th of the month, unless prior notice has been given to the Director. Thank you for your cooperation in these matters. Dear Preschool Parents, You may or may not know that 1 in 13 children in the United States has a food allergy. Food allergies can be life-threatening and only a tiny amount is needed to cause a reaction. Each year, we have children enrolled in our school with food allergies. It is important to us that all children in our care be safe and fully included in our preschool community. As a result we have implemented the following rules in accordance with state and federal guidelines for the management of food allergies in the preschool setting: • We are a NUT-FREE school. This includes tree nuts and legumes. Sunflower seed butter is ok in place of nut butters (please make note on sandwich wrapper if you send for lunch). • All children will wash their hands before and after eating snacks & lunch. There will be NO food sharing. • Birthdays and holidays will be celebrated without the use of food. • All cooking projects will be directed by the classroom teachers only. To avoid cross- contamination by appliances or knives, please do not bring food from home to share with others unless the teacher specifically asks.
