WEE@MRBC is sensitive to the needs of each parent and child. If you have any concerns or questions not addressed herein, please see the Director.

Bad Weather Policy

Our school observes all of the Arlington Independent School District (AISD) holidays. In case of snow or ice, if AISD closes, we will be closed. If AISD opens late, we will be closed for the day. Bad weather days will not be made up. Parents should always check with the local television and radio stations for reports of school closings or late openings. The information will also be available, if possible, on our answering machine (817) 466-2492.

Toys from Home

Toys may be brought on teacher-designated “Show and Tell” days only. However, pets are not allowed.

Clothing

We recommend a full change of clothes be sent for all ages, especially children in diapers and those who are potty training. Three-year-olds must be potty trained before enrolling into the three-year-old class. Please label all pieces of clothing as well as any other personal articles.

Crafts and Activities

Each week there will be a specific theme by which all crafts and activities will be centered around. We use the WEE Learn Curriculum.

Discipline Policy

Our policy is to use positive guidance with children. There will be no form of physical punishment. The children will be guided to behave appropriately.

In the event that a child chooses to behave inappropriately, he or she will be given a verbal warning. Upon a second occurrence of the misbehavior, the child will be isolated from the rest of the group in a “time-out.” A child may take time-out in a chair away from other children or in the Director’s office.

We do not condone any type of corporal punishment as a disciplinary action. The Director will immediately notify parents in the event of a behavior problem that exists constantly. In the event of disciplinary action, the parents are contacted as soon as possible.

WEE @ MRBC reserves the right to dismiss any child should it be deemed necessary.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

For toddlers, two-, and three-year-olds, except for “Meet the Teacher” day, conferences will be scheduled individually as needs might arise. If at any time, you wish to have a conference with your child’s teacher, please contact the office to set up an appointment.

For four- and five-year-olds, there will be up to three conferences scheduled throughout the school year. The first, “Meet the Teacher” group conference, will be at the beginning of the school year and is for acquainting the parents and children with the curriculum and their teachers. The second is an optional mid-year evaluation following observation of the child. This evaluation is for children who may need certain learning/behavior concerns to be addressed before the end of the year. Lastly, the end-of-year individual conference is completed when the child’s overall progress is reviewed, and recommendations and plans for the future are made.

Student Evaluations

All children will be evaluated at the beginning and end of each year by their teachers. Specific areas of evaluation are physical development, social skills, gross/fine motor skills, recognizing colors, shapes, letters (depending on the age of the child), communication, etc.

Open-Door Policy

WEE@MRBC has an open door policy for parents of children enrolled in the program. If you would like to observe your child during the day, you are welcome to come at any time. We ask that you check in with the office so we can be aware of those who are present in the building. The only exception to such a visit would be if there is any legal, custody, or court mandated restrictions for a parent who is not allowed to see a child. If you would like to visit with your child’s teacher, we ask that you set up an appointment. This allows the teacher to appropriately cover the class and to provide you with individual attention.

Child Abuse

It is the law that we report any suspicions we have of possible child abuse. The Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services’ definition of abuse includes, but is not limited to, “acts or omissions by a person responsible for a child’s care. Mental or emotional injury to a child, and physical injury that results in substantial harm to the child…” Please tell your child’s teacher about any bruises the child may have or any emotional trauma the child may be experiencing. By keeping the staff informed, you will prevent any inappropriate suspicions.

Smoking Policy

The Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services’ Minimum Standards and Guidelines states that people must not smoke at the facility, during transportation, or on field trips.
