RULES AND INFORMATION

* Pinewood students must be 3 years old in the fall of the year they begin. Enrolling 3 year olds should be potty trained or currently in the process of being potty trained.

* Payment is due the first week of the 4 week period.

* You are paying for a space whether your child is here or not. Pinewood does not refund or credit money to the next month. Make-up days can accumulate over the months to be used later.

* You pay for your sick days, vacation days, and no show days.

* As a special service to Pinewood parents, any absence due to illness or days missed due to vacations may be made up subject to the provisions below.

* If your child will miss a day due to illness, etc., you must notify Pinewood the night before, or early the morning of the absence. This is so all the children will be able to make up missed days. (Days missed, but not called in cannot be guaranteed to be made up.)

*3 ways to make up absences; attend class when another student is absent, attend lunch time (3 lunches = 1 class), have a sibling attend when another student is absent.

*Please inform us as far in advance as possible of your plans to withdraw your child (an approximate date with a long lead time can be revised).

* A minimum of two weeks notice is required when withdrawing your child from attendance.

*Snow days: we follow the Rio Rancho Public Schools announcements: “2-hour delay”—morning class is cancelled, “Closed”—we are closed.

* Parents will notify us if the child has been ill at home during the evening, morning, or weekend preceding their return to Pinewood.

* A copy of your child's immunization record must be on file for state licensing and the nutrition program inspectors.

* Please let us know if your child is hesitant (not looking forward to preschool with joy), so we may look for any problems he/she may be encountering, and give him/her extra help in resolving the problem.
