Preschool staff uses positive behavior guidance to help children learn how to interact with others and use the classroom materials. Children are taught acceptable options for unacceptable behavior. If contacted regarding your child’s behavior in school, you will be expected to work with school staff on a positive intervention behavior plan. Your child may be dropped from the program if you choose not to work with the staff in developing a plan. Toileting Children must be toilet trained to attend preschool. This means a child knows when they need to use the bathroom and can independently take care of their own personal needs. Pull-up diapers are not a substitute for being toilet trained. If a child is experiencing toileting accidents in school, parent/caregiver may be asked to postpone attendance in preschool until the child is completely toilet trained. Tuition payments , if applicable It is important that tuition is paid on time. Non- payment of tuition may result in the child being dropped from preschool. If you are having diffi- culty making payments, contact the main pre- school office at 763-506-1500 to make arrangements. Guidance and positive discipline Weapons It is the policy of the Anoka-Hennepin School District to maintain a positive, safe and secure learning and working environment. No weapons or items that look like weapons (toy guns, knives, etc.) are allowed at school, on the school bus or on school property. If a child brings one to school, the parent will be called and the child may be dropped from the preschool program. Early Childhood Screening Early Childhood Screening is required for children enrolled in School Readiness Preschool within 90 days of starting preschool. If your child has not yet been screened, please call to make an appointment. Failure to complete screening could result in your child being withdrawn from the preschool program.
