SAFETY
EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION
Emergency contact information is required prior to the start of each school year and needs to be updated with the school when there are changes . Be sure to inform all individuals listed on the emergency card that they have been named as potential caregivers in your absence . You will be notified in the event that your child experiences an accident or sudden illness , which makes remaining in school inadvisable . It is your responsibility as a parent or guardian to make arrangements for proper care of your child . If you need to add a caregiver to your emergency card , you must do so in person .
MANDATED REPORTERS
Preschool and district staff are mandated to report suspected child abuse and neglect .
CUSTODY
In the event that a court ordered legal custody situation develops whereby a parent or parents are not allowed to pick up your child / children without your consent , we ask that you state in writing that you have legal custody and give the name and relationship of the adult that does not have a legal right to pick up your child while at Preschool . This written and dated statement will need to be given to the teacher , at the site , along with the copy of your legal custody papers ( to be kept on file ).
FIRE , TORNADO AND LOCK DOWN DRILLS
Children and staff will participate in fire , tornado , and lockdown drills . The fire evacuation routes are posted in each preschool room .
