What are the immunization, TB test, and vision and hearing document requirements? During each enrollment period, a parent signature is required (on the enrollment forms) stating that the child’s immunization record and health screening/test results are current and on file at the elementary school the child attends. Parents must also provide the name, address, and telephone number of the elementary school on the enrollment forms. spilled milk social club's caregivers are not required to get tested for vaccine-preventable diseases, such as TB. Caregivers are also not required to get any vaccinations to work at spilled milk social club. All staff are required to notify directors about any health risks, such as known illnesses and/or coming in contact with any communicable diseases, such as TB and influenza. How are parents notified of non-emergency information? We ask all families to read all signs posted at the facility on the parent info center. Additionally, we frequently send out emails with important info and upcoming dates. We expect all families to pay attention to posted signs and emails in order to stay abreast of any news or info they may need. Does smsc provide meals or snacks? During the after school program, we offer a daily snack. Each day’s snack will meet the Minimum Standards Nutrition and Food Services guidelines. Additionally, as we do not hold a Food Handlers Permit with the Austin-Travis County Health and Human Services Department, we only serve non-perishable items. Snack menus are posted on the Parent Info Center. Families are welcome to send additional or replacement snacks for their individual child. During summer we ask that families send enough lunch and snack for their child for the entire day. We do not serve meals or snack during summer camp months. Additionally, we ask families to avoid sending lunches that require refrigeration or microwaving. While we can facilitate this occasionally, it slows down our day significantly if we must provide this service for all children.
