February 2023 Newsletter

Hello CBA Families!

Hard to believe it is February already. Time is flying by this school year and February is going to be a fun and exciting month for our students. Please reference our February calendar for this month’s events and theme days.

As a friendly reminder, toys are only permitted on Show and Share Days. Books are welcome every day.

Preparing Cubbies for Winter

The winter season is here. Please be sure to dress your child accordingly, including hats and mittens. Also, be sure that your child has extra clothes available in their cubby for the winter weather (this is a great time to check sizes too).

Inclement Weather

We do not follow the federal government or local public schools for winter weather closings. In the case of inclement weather, parents will be notified through our Tadpoles system. You will receive an emergency message by 6 AM if we need to open late or close the school for the day. If we are already in school and the weather becomes unsafe to cause us to need to close early, parents will receive notification through the Tadpoles system as well as a phone call or Instant Message to notify parents of the early closing. Make sure your phone numbers are current by accessing your ALMA account for any needed changes.

State Mandated Guidelines ~ Immunizations

In order to remain in compliance with state laws, please refer to the following:

For children under 2 years old, we need updated immunization records every 6 months.

For children 2 years and older, we need immunization records once a year.

* If your child’s file is not in compliance when our state licensure visits, we must then inform you that your child cannot attend until we submit the updated immunization record.

* It is extremely important that we maintain current immunization records at all times.

* Easiest way to remember: bring us a copy after each visit where your child receives a new immunization and you will always be in compliance!

Thank you for turning these items in so that your child’s file is kept up to date and in compliance!

Parent Referral Program

Do you know a colleague who has recently had a baby, a friend in need of care who just relocated to the area, or a family member who is seeking a new preschool for their child? When you refer a friend and they enroll full time, you’re eligible for a free week of tuition. Ask us for details!

2022 Tax Statements

You can print your FSA forms along with your 2022 tax statements directly from your ALMA account. See below for instructions on how to access your account!

 

Please remember:

 

  1. School starts at 9am. We want your child to embrace all that CBA has to offer and get the most out of our curriculum.

 

  1. Please be safe and slow down when driving in the parking lot. Be mindful when backing into and out of parking spaces, especially as families are helping their children in and out of the vehicle.

 

  1. Sick Policy: To ensure the health and safety of all of our children and staff, please remember to adhere to our sick policy which states: “a child must be free of all symptoms without medication for at least 24 hours before he/she can be returned to school. Following an illness, a child may return to school once he/she has either been seen by a doctor or it has been determined that the illness is not contagious. (A doctor’s clearance may be requested).” All of us truly appreciate your support with this matter!

 

 

Again, thank you for the continued support.

 

Ms. Emma and Ms. Dana
