A Message from the Principal:
WELCOME BACK!
Yes, Welcome Fall and Good bye Summer! Summer might be over but it is now time to look forward to a new School Year. We would like to let all of our campers know that they will be missed and we are already looking forward to see them next summer camp!
We would like to welcome our former families and new families and children. We are gearing up to a great start full of learning opportunities, especial events and great adventures of endless possibilities.
Here are a few tips for your first day of school:
- New Access Code is available at the front desk.
- If you are a new family and does not have the access code to enter the building, please ring the doorbell located on the left side of the door.
- For new families, you can set up your PIN numbers to clock in/out your children.
- Please SIGN IN/OUT when you are with your child/ren the iPAD is located in the entrance. Children must be escorted by their parents at all times.
- School-Age families – Please call or email us if your child/ren are not going to be here for Before or After Care. If we don’t see your child during pick up time we will call you.
- Please download the App Links2Home to have access to our Parent Communication tool, most known as Tadpoles.
- Look for our Enrichment Specialty Programs in our monthly calendar; we have more information placed in the hall.
- Please stop by the office to bring any missing documents and/or to update your child’s file. Thank you very much.
- For more information please visit our website at https: www.bethesdacountrydayschool.com
Friendly reminder: We always look forward to a great fall season. It is important to ensure that students are safe. Please make sure your child wears closed-toe and closed-heel shoes (no sandals, crocs, or flipflops) as students can easily trip or scratch their feet and get tow nail injuries in these types of shoes. Please also make sure that your child has appropriate clothing for the weather.
IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT place any sunscreen, lotion, chap-stick, or other sunblock/medication in your child’s cubby. Licensing requires us to keep medications locked at all times. Please complete an authorization form if medicine needs to be provided to your child (including over the counter medicine). Medication needs to be clearly labeled in its original package with the child’s full name, and instructions, if over-the-counter, we will still need your physician to acknowledge the medication authorization form. We will not give medicine to your child if we do not have the doctors approval.
Please visit our Monthly Calendar for any updates and/or special reminders.
As always, thank you for partnering with us for the academic growth and overall success of your child. It is our goal that they do their very best each and every day.
Kindest Regards,
Milagros Morales, Principal
