ELCC Supervisor Update Welcome to MAY!! The summer vacation schedules and sunscreen consent forms will be emailed out to you soon, please return these to your child’s educator or email them back to me as soon as possible. Notice to end care: If you are considering to end your child’s care at the end of June, July or August, Please let me know as soon as possible so I can consider this for future placements as I will be starting to plan for the September room movements and new enrollments by the end of May. At a minimum, you are required to give one month’s written notice; Send an email by May 30th for care ending June 30th . Please note that we do not do mid-month terminations. Gold Room parents: Once you have received final confirmation of your child’s kindergarten placement for September please let Joanna, Melissa or Jodi know. Bussing to public kindergarten from the center and back is done through us, you do not need to contact Black Gold for bussing information. However, children attending Saint Andre Academy need to secure bus placement through Star Catholic Schools, they pick up and drop off at the center as well. Reminder: Parents please ensure you are following the drop off and pick up hours agreed upon in the hours of care forms, if you need to update you hours please let room staff know. If you occasionally need to drop off earlier or pick up later than noted in the form, please text room staff ahead of time so we can make staffing accommodations if needed to guarantee ratio is met. If your child will be away for any reason it is also helpful that we have this information, please text the room phone. The center does close promptly at 5:30 so we kindly ask that parents are exiting the building with their child by 5:25 pm. May 12th is Child Care provider Appreciation Day! I will be hosting a breakfast for the team that morning. If there is anything you’d like to contribute or help out with, please contact me to organize.
SAS Supervisor Update As we get ready for re-accreditation in early 2017 we will be distributing Some surveys for you to complete in the next few months. Please take a few minutes to complete the surveys as the information is beneficial in knowing What areas we can improve upon. The surveys will be available online. If you would prefer a paper copy, we will have some of those available as well. Do you have a special talent? Maybe there is a cultural practice that you’d like to share with us? We are always looking for new and exciting ways to engage with the children by having special guests. If you’d like to volunteer with your special talent, please let any of the staff know. We’d love to have you come by and show the children your skills! Our program cell phone number is (780) 862-7803. Please text or call if your child will be absent. This helps our bus to run on schedule.
Thank, have a great month! Chris Kruk
