MARCH 2010
      Top of the Month to you! Happy March. We have many fun activities planned.  From
visits  from the leprechaun to planting spring flowers. Do not forget that daylight savings
times starts Sunday, March 14th. We will spring forward the clock one hour.
       On Tuesday, March 16th, the children will be setting out their Leprechaun traps in
the hopes of catching him. We have been trying for years now. Lets hope that this is the
year that we out smart him. We will see the results on the morning of Wednesday, March
17th. All of the classrooms will be having green milk with lunch. Please don’t forget to
dress your child in green. If you want to bring a special snack for that day you are more
than welcome. We ask that you try to keep the special snack as healthy as can be.
Please be creative.
       Room 3 will be having a Pajama Party on Friday, March 26th. Please bring your
child in their pajama’s. If your child is potty training please be sure to put them in
pajamas that they can get on and off. Your child will also need to be wearing shoes. We
will be doing all of the normal daily activities. If you have any questions please see Miss
Judi or Miss Rashell.
       That brings us to all the normal reminders. Please have you child IN THEIR
Classroom by 9am. I am still having to be the bad guy to enforce policies that are made
to ensure that your child has the best academic and positive learning experience. It is
very disruptive to have a child come into their classroom late and interrupt whatever
activity is going on. Your child then feels rushed and does not naturally join in the flow of
daily activities. The teacher does not get the opportunity to properly greet or discuss
anything that may need to be discussed.
       The second reminder is to all of our government subsidized families. We still had
numerous families that did not have their attendance forms filled out completely. The
state has become very particular in what they expect from our families. Please help us to
make sure that all proper paperwork is completed. It is not our responsibility to make
sure that your form is completed. If you do not have your form completed and turned into
Miss Char then we can not send it to your appropriate agency. Thus we would not
receive payment for the previous month and you would become financially responsible. A
monthly payment for ONE child ranges from $936 to $1260.40. You can see how
important it is for you to be on top of your attendance sheets.
       We also wanted to take this opportunity to tell our families how lucky we are to have
you as part of our Kinderwood Family. You are what makes Kinderwood such a great
place to be. Please share your great experiences with Kinderwood with your family,
friends, co-workers and or neighbors.

                                            The Sick Policy

The State of California  Licensing Board and Health Department has some basic
restrictions that by law we must follow:
ALL Immunizations MUST be Current
Children may not attend school if :
  • Vomiting
  • Loose Stools
  • Fever (99 degrees or above) ( Not including teething)
  • Yellow or green discharge from nose or eyes
  • Any child hood disease (chicken pox, roseola)
  • Needs Tylenol every 4 hours
  • Any unexplained rash
  • If your child may not participate in normal day activities

Remember all children must be symptom free for at least 24 hours before they may
return to school.

                                            Just a Few Reminders

  • Room 4 and 5 homework goes out on a Monday and is due back on the following
    Monday. Make sure your child’s name is on their work.
  • Breakfast is over strictly at 8am. Your child needs to be here no later than
            7:55am to receive breakfast.
  • Your child needs to have a sheet and blanket EVERYDAY!!
            It is Licensing regulations.
  • Please be sure your child’s name is on everything! Especially jackets and sheets.
    We are having many things go home with other families simply because there is
    No name on the item to tell who the owner is.
  • All children need to be here by 9am. This problem is disrupting the class as a
    whole and your child is missing out on very important lessons.
  • Please remember to  sign your child IN and OUT everyday & TAKE A PICK UP
    CARD AND GIVE IT TO YOUR CHILD’S TEACHER!
.

               Thank you for your cooperation and most of all thank you
                                    for sharing your children with us.
