Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q.   Absence:  What do I do when my child is absent from school?

Call the school secretary at your child’s school. Tell her your child’s name, that they attend Pre-K, and the name of their teacher.

 

Q.   Allergies:  What do I do if my child has allergies?

Please inform the teacher and school nurse about any allergies at all (food or otherwise) so that they can be prepared for your child. Also inform them if your child takes any special medicine regularly. Medicine must be in the original bottle, have the child’s name on it and the dosage.  

 

Q.   Class Parties:  When I come to class parties may I bring my younger child(ren)?

The policy of the elementary schools is that young children should not be brought to school for parties or any extended period of time. Safety is a concern because school buildings are not set up for little ones. Preschool classrooms are very tempting to little ones and it is difficult to enjoy the experience with your preschool child if you are also watching a younger sibling.  

 

Q.   Continued Pre-K Attendance:  Will my child continue in the F.A.C.E.S. Pre-K program next year? 

Once children are accepted into the F.A.C.E.S program, they remain in Pre-K except for the following reasons: they turn five and are eligible for kindergarten, (this does not include children in Early Childhood classes); the family did not participate in at least two Family Fun Nights during the year. 

 

Q.   Health Forms:  When do my child’s health forms (physical, immunization form, dental record) have to be turned in?

The deadline for health forms this year is 30 days from the first day of school. If forms aren’t turned in by that date, children will have to stay home from school until the forms are returned. Health forms are turned in to the school secretary.  

 

Q.   Medicine:  What do I do if my child takes medicine regularly?

You must talk to the school nurse and your child’s teacher about any medicines that your child takes. Medicine must be in the original bottle, have the child’s name on it and the dosage clearly marked.  

 

Q.   Parent Classes:  Why are parent classes encouraged?

Research shows, and we believe, that parent involvement is the single most important influence on a child’s educational experience. When young children see their parents go to school, they know school must be important.

Classes cover important educational issues like phonemic awareness (reading) and the assessment of skill development as well as parenting issues like discipline and sibling rivalry. Learning about early development, early education, and what is happening in your child’s world helps in the most important job you’ll ever have—being a parent.

 

Q.   Parking:  Where should I park when dropping off and picking up my child?

You may park in the visitor parking lot at each school.  You may not park in the bus lane or handicap spots. These are different at each school and are marked appropriately.

 

Q.   School Schedule:  How do I know when school is in session?

School is in session when the district schools are in session. If the schools are closed, preschool classes are cancelled also.

 

Q.   Snacks:  Do I provide snack for my child’s class?

No.  Snacks are provided by the school cafeterias and are paid for through the Pre-K grant.
