Health/Safety/Nutrition

For the safety of all children, the following guidelines are maintained by the PSRC Early Childhood Program:

• one adult to every nine children will be maintained at all times during the school day,
• parents/guardians are responsible for picking up sick children immediately when called; therefore a working, emergency phone number must be available for your child at all times,
• children must be escorted to the classroom by an adult (no exceptions),
• late arrivals must sign in at the school's office, then escorted to the classroom by an adult,
• parents must complete, sign, and return the appropriate medical form if medicine is to be administered at school,
• parents must have their health care provider complete the appropriate forms on their child,
• cuts and scrapes will be treated at school using only soap, water, and a bandage,
• parents are encouraged to send only nutritious meals to school (see teacher for suggestions),
• children are to spend time outside as part of their regular daily schedule (if child is well enough to attend school, then the child is well enough to go outside),
• parents should send children to school dressed for the weather,
• children will wash hands many times during the day to keep the environment free of germs,
• parents should send two towels, small sheets, or other linen for use on the child's assigned cot during nap time (one to lie on and one for cover), and
• parents should wash the linens weekly and return to the school the next school day.
