Please Leave at Home
Toys Please leave all toys at home. Children who nap are welcome to bring a small, soft “lovey”. These items are soothing and help them fall asleep. If the lovey is a distraction to your child we may respectfully ask that you leave it at home. Please remember to take it home each day as needed if your child needs it at bedtime. All students four and under are required to have a rest time.
Pacifiers Children who use pacifiers at home will be gently weened off of them at school. The teachers are very skilled at helping the children learn to soothe themselves at naptime without the use of a pacifier.
Backpacks Children do not need to bring backpacks to school. Extra clothes and a package of diapers (if needed) are kept in their cubby. All other items are supplied by the school.
Candy, Sodas, Cupcakes and similar sugary items are not to be brought to school. If these items are accidentally brought to school, such as in pre-packaged lunched, we will send them home to be enjoyed after school.
Distracting Items Watches that make noise, cell phones, smart watches, light-up shoes and clothing, jewelry and other such items distract your child from their purposeful work and often cause conflict between classmates.
