REMINDERS CEF STAMPS ON SALE We are still selling CEF Stamps in the school office on Tuesday mornings (Wednesday mornings for Kindergarten students) Stamps cost 25¢ each. The ‘stamp lady’ is here about 9:00 a.m. each Tuesday (Wednesday) morning if your child is interested in purchasing stamps.

GENTLE REMINDERS 1.) If your child will not be attending school, please call before 8:15 a.m. 2.) If your child will not be singing with their class in church, please speak to the teacher ahead of time. 3.) If your child will be late for school and will be taking hot lunch, please call the school office before 8:15 a.m. so that we can order a lunch for them.

SICK CHILDREN Out of concern for the welfare of all, sick children should not be sent to school. Children who have vomited in the morning should not be sent to school. A child with a fever should stay home until 24 hours after the temperature has returned to normal. Please remember to fill out an absence excuse form and give it to the teacher when your child returns to school. A supply of forms was included with your folder you received at the teacher’s home visit. If you have lost yours or need more, stop in the school office and we will be happy to give you some.

SENDING MEDICINE TO SCHOOL Prescribed medicine will be dispensed by the classroom teacher according to the prescription and must be accompanied by written permission from a parent. It must be kept in the prescription container. State law requires this policy. Students should not carry medicine. Children who bring non-prescription medicine must give it to the teacher along with a note from the parents indicating their wishes. Under no circumstances should children take any medicine without the teacher’s supervision.

CORRECT INFORMATION, PLEASE! Parents, we realize that things change during the course of the school year. Please remember to update your student’s Emergency Forms if you have changed jobs, moved, gotten a cell phone, etc. We need to be able to get in touch with you if something should happen to your child. Also be sure to include the names and numbers of at least 2 other people we can contact if we are unable to reach you! Please stop in the school office to make any changes if necessary. THANK YOU!

COLD WEATHER DRESSING Now that the weather has turned cold & snowy please send winter clothing for your student to wear at recess time. If they do not have the proper clothing, they will not be allowed to go out for recess with the rest of their class. Students, please remember to either take your items home with you or pick them up at the end of the day. If they are left on the floor, check the ‘Lost and Found’ box in the school office. That’s where the janitor puts the items if she has to pick up for you!

EARLY ARRIVALS/LATE DEPARTURES Doors will be open each morning at 7:30 a.m. Students arriving between 7:30 and 7:50 a.m. are asked to remain in their classrooms. Parents, please inform the teacher if your child must arrive early or depart late. Children should go home after school. If they want to return to play on the playground after school, they may with parental permission and/or supervision. Immanuel faculty members and coaches will not be responsible for supervision of children after school.

PARKING ~ DROPPING OFF ~ PICKING UP Parents, for the safety of our children, please drive around to the south side of church to drop off and pick up your children. Please slow down when entering the driveway. We don’t want any unfortunate incidents to happen in the parking lot!
