WEE
Policies & Procedures - Events
Weekday Early Education at Mayfield Road Baptist Church
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.
Field Trips
The three- and four-year-old classes may
schedule various field trips throughout the year to
correlate with the weekly learning themes. Parents are
required to sign a yearly permission statement as part of
the enrollment process. Parents will be given a 48-hour
notice of each field trip along with pertinent information
such as location, times, etc… This information will be
displayed until the class has returned from the trip.
Each parent who offers to drive children and
help on a field trip will be required to provide proof of
current insurance, a valid driver’s license, as well as
current inspection stickers and tags. According to the
Minimum Standards, the Director must perform a Criminal
History check on any parent who wishes to provide
transportation. The office will receive an “approved
volunteer list” as a result of the Criminal History checks.
Your name must be on the list in order for you to do any
type of volunteer work at or associated with WEE@MRBC.
Fire Drills
Your child will participate in fire drills
throughout the school year. This procedure is necessary to
help all children know what to do in the event of a real
emergency. All classes are instructed on proper procedures
and we will endeavor to teach them how to handle such
emergencies in a calm and orderly manner. Fire evacuation
plans are posted near the door in each classroom.
School
Pictures
School pictures will be scheduled for two
times during the school year: during the fall semester and
again during the spring semester (i.e. October and March).
We will choose a professional photographer to come to the
school two days each time and take individual and group
pictures. You will be able to purchase the pictures if you
choose to do so.
Picture
Release Statement
Periodically, pictures of the children may
be placed on bulletin boards or used in other areas of the
church, including the website and promotional materials.
Please discuss any special requests or needs with the
Director.
Birthday and
Holiday Parties
Parents are welcome to attend all parties.
Please check with your child’s teacher for any party times.
We love to celebrate birthdays and we
encourage you to bring a special treat for snack time for
all children if you
wish. Please bring a snack that would not be too messy and
that would not be easily choked on. Cookies are always a big
hit with children. You are welcome to bring party favors or
you may supply a gift for your child’s classroom for all to
enjoy, such as a toy, book, puzzle, etc. We do not encourage
gifts for the child to be brought to school for unwrapping.
Please save that special event for a later time. Private
invitations are not allowed unless every child in the class receives one.
Please feel free to mail invitations if only some of the children
are to be invited.
Throughout the year the classes will have
holiday parties. Such times will be fall, Thanksgiving,
Christmas, Valentine, Easter, and at the end of the year.
Please look for sign ups if you wish to help by bringing
food items, drinks, favors, etc. There will be no dressing
up as characters or “Halloween” figures unless there is a
special occasion to do so. However, we do invite all
families to attend our church’s Fall Fun Festival as an
alternative to Halloween. The children may costume for
this particular event. |
