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.)
*2 ways to make up absences; (1) attend class when another
student is absent, (2) attend lunch time (3 lunches = 1 class).
*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.
* The preschool is closed in the summer.
*Our
holidays are: Spring Break, Closed for the summer, October Fall Break,
Thanksgiving Day and the Friday after, and Christmas Break .
Holiday pay will be in effect. You will not be
charged for the two weeks at Christmas, or one week at Spring Break.
*Snow days: we follow the Rio Rancho Public Schools announcements: “2-hour
delay”—morning class is cancelled, “Closed”—we are
closed.
* If notified by us that your child is ill, please pick him/her
up as soon as possible.
* Please keep a child home if they have been
ill in the past 24 hours: fever 100 or higher, diarrhea, vomiting, redness or
discharge from the eyes, skin rash, runny nose with yellow or green mucus,
persistent coughing, red throat, or earache. Please inform us of any
communicable disease (such as strep), so we can inform other families.
* 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.
*Parents will sign their child in and out on
the form just inside the front door.
*Child abuse /neglect will be
reported to State CYFD as required by state law.
