Reminders

• Please do not bring fast food for your child during lunch.
• We ask that parents who bring treats at lunchtime only give the treats to your child's class. Some students will feel left out if they don't get a treat, and we would like to avoid hurt feelings. Other students have food allergies.
• Parents should not drop off or pick up students by car at the kindergarten door
• If you need to change the way your child is going home, please call before 2:00pm.
• Parents and Visitors must check-in the front office and get a visitor sticker! At all times!
• Parents, if you bring and/or pickup your child in a golf cart, you should park in the two designated parking areas rather than coming through the car lane. This is a safety issue. Thank you!
• Please do not let your young children play on or near the golf cart path behind the golf cart parking lot on the kindergarten side. A few "near misses" have been reported. Let's keep our kids safe!
• Lost & Found is located in the front hall. Please label all jackets and lunchboxes. All items will be donated at the end of each month!
• The GREEN Team is collecting gently used books, athletic shoes, Capri Sun empty containers. We also have a dumpster in the back of school that takes all cardboard, paper, magazines, newspapers. We will no longer be accepting plastic bags or plastic containers of any kind. Please recycle them at Kroger/Publix and the Recycling Center on McIntosh Trail. Learn more about recycling at Braelinn!
