ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL:  You are required to bring your child to the classroom door.  DO NOT drop your child off in the parking lot.  Also, do not allow a child's sibling or other child to escort him/her to the classroom.  Please use the main entrance doors (east).  At dismissal time, the children will not be permitted to leave the room until a parent or other designated adult has come to get them.  The teacher should be informed as to who will be responsible for picking up a child or group of children.  We must have written permission to release the child to an adult other than the parent.  Please notify the teacher of any special circumstances regarding pick-up authorization.  Please be prompt.

 

VISITING:  Parents are encouraged to come to preschool with their child at least once a year.  These visits are a time for children and parents to enjoy preschool together.  If you are coming to spend time with your preschooler, please leave other children at home.  Opportunities for parents to visit will be between the months of October and April.  There will be sign-up sheets for each class.  We can accommodate one parent per session.

MASS TIME CHANGE

On Sunday, May 25, we will switch to the “summer” Mass schedule.  Since during the summer people tend to want to go to earlier Masses, the last Mass will be at 11:30 a.m. instead of 12 noon.  The summer schedule has Mass times of Saturday 5:00 p.m., Sunday 7:30 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. 

CODE OF CONDUCT

In compliance with diocesan policies and in anticipation of their planned audit of our parish, we request that all volunteers for any parish program sign and return the Code of Conduct Form to the parish office (you may put it in the Sunday collection basket, or mail it). If  you have any questions, please contact Mike Agriesti in the Parish Office (878-5353).
