Summer is coming to a close and the 2010-2011 new school year is finally upon us. The Child Care classrooms will begin preparing for the new school year this week by reviewing with the children classroom procedures and rules. The teachers will also be working with the children on listening skills as well as giving them a very basic overview of their daily schedule, how to walk as a class in the hallway, how to share center materials and play equipment and so forth. Chapel and library procedures will be introduced to the children in their respective locations. Our goal is for all the children to feel comfortable with their new classrooms and teachers as well as the flow of their day.
We are excited as a staff to begin a new school year and look forward to working with your children as we assist in their overall growth and development.
A few reminders....now that our school-age children are returning to the campus, the Child Care morning drop-off and pick-up procedures will need resume for the school year so as to prevent a disruption in the dropping off of children on the school side. The purpose for these procedures is to assure the safety of the children as well as to ensure a more efficient drop-off and pick-up experience for all our St. Paul families.
Drop-off/ Pick-up procedures for Child Care:
1.) All childcare parents who are dropping their children off between the hours of 7:00 A.M. -8:30 A.M. must park in the front (south-side) parking lot by Pecan Blvd. You can bring your children through the east or west Sanctuary doors on this side of the building. After 8:30 A.M., parents should park in the north parking lot and bring their children in through the north doors nearest to the main office since the south doors will be locked during the day.
2.) The south-side lot by Pecan Blvd. is for parking only during drop-off and pick-up times. Parking, no matter how short, is only allowed in the parking spaces.
3.) When picking up your child, if you arrive between the hours of 3:30 P.M. and 4:00 P.M, we ask that you use the east Sanctuary entrance by Pecan Blvd.
4.) For all pick-ups after 4:00 P.M., you may park and enter through the main office side of the north parking lot.
We truly appreciate your willingness to comply with these procedures and look forward to a fabulous year!
