Special parties will be held to celebrate Halloween, Christmas,
Valentine’s Day, and Easter. A special end-of-the-year activity may also be planned. Parent volunteers are needed to provide snacks, drinks, party favors, games, etc. If you are able to come and help or donate items for parties, please fill out the Parent Volunteer form or see the teacher. Since preschool parties are for the enjoyment of class members, we ask that parents plan not to bring younger children. If this presents a problem for you, please see the teacher. Last year we asked a 3’s mom to baby-sit for the 4’s party and a 4’s mom to baby-sit for the 3’s party. Please indicate on the Parent Volunteer form if you are interested in helping in this way.
*We would like to request that parents encourage children to do activities with the class even when parents are present at the parties.

Withdrawal
If it becomes necessary for you to withdraw your child from preschool during the school year, written notice must be given to the preschool director. Tuition must be paid in full for the month of withdrawal. Mt. Pleasant Preschool reserves the right to dismiss a student for cause. Cause is defined as a
perceived endangerment to others or to property, and any educational disturbance which distracts from classroom learning. No refunds of tuition will be awarded for those dismissed from preschool for cause. Those with special needs will be referred to the Wood County Specific Needs Pre-K program @ 420-9655 for screening/ testing.

Parent Conferences - Classroom Visits - Parent Volunteers
- PARENT CONFERENCE - CLASSROOM VISITS
After the first month of school, parents are welcome to visit the classroom anytime. Because the teacher’s primary responsibility is to the students, do not expect a conference during class time. However, you may make prior arrangements and the teach will be happy to meet with you before or after class time during office hours. When you need to call the teacher at home, please call before 9:00pm. **Parent Teacher Conferences will be held in the Spring.

Clothing
Children should wear comfortable play clothes that will allow them to participate fully in all activities (tumbling, painting, etc). Tennis shoes are recommended. Skate shoes or Heelies are prohibited. Weather permitting we will be going outside each day. Please dress appropriately for that day’s weather.
If you anticipate bathroom accidents, you may keep a seasonal change of clothes in your child’s backpack. All clothing and personal belongings need to be labeled with your child’s name (coats, hats, backpacks, boots, mittens, etc.).

Snacks and Birthdays
SNACKS
Parents will be asked to take turns providing snack for the class. A snack calendar will be sent home each month. Please be sure to note your snack day. The preschool will provide
water and cups. The children enjoy a simple treat. Suggested snacks: crackers, cheese, applesauce, raisins, cookies, jello, fruit, small sandwiches, yogurt, fresh fruit, graham crackers, pretzels, etc. Please save special snacks for birthdays. 4 yr Old class will have letter snack days– try to find something that starts with that letter.
BIRTHDAYS
Since Birthdays are important days for preschool age children., we will try to celebrate each child’s special day on or near his or her birthday. Parents may provide a special drink and snack such as juice and decorated cookies or ice cream treats. Parents who wish to join the class during snack time on the child’s birthday are welcome. Pretend birthdays will be celebrated for children who have birthdays in the summer or during holiday vacations.

Preschool Arrival and Departure
ARRIVAL
You can help in several ways to make your child’s arrival and departure from school go smoothly. First, allowing enough time in your morning schedule to get ready for school in a
relaxed, unhurried manner can help get the day off to a good start. Second, plan to arrive at school on time – not too late or too early. Lastly, you can help prepare your child by letting them know that they will be walking into the classroom with the teachers and classmates. Reassure them that you will
return to pick them up at the end of class.
When preschool begins, the teacher and the aide will come outside to the front doors of the building. We will have the children line up on the sidewalk and we will walk the children around to the side door of the church and go into the
preschool. (In the event of poor weather, we will enter through the front doors.)
Please keep your child with you until you see the teachers. If you happen to arrive after the other children have gone in, please walk your child around to the side door, and ring the doorbell. For safety reasons, the doors will be locked when the children are led into the building each morning.
DEPARTURE
At the end of the day, the teachers will lead the children out the side door to the front of the church and dismiss each child to a parent or approved pick-up person. We appreciate your promptness in picking up your child each day.
Important: If your child is to ride home with someone other than a parent, please be sure to send a written note to the teacher. For safety reasons, no child will be permitted to leave with anyone except his/ her parent without permission.
Since most children adjust more easily to the group when a parent is not present, we kindly ask that parents wait to schedule classroom visits until after the first few weeks of school. After the adjustment period, we would like to
encourage parent visitors and volunteers.
