Family policies
What families ask before the first day.
Photos of your child
We ask your written permission before we share any photo of your child, on this site, in newsletters or on social media, and you can change your answer at any time. We never put a child's name with a photo, and the photos on this site are examples until we replace them with our own.
When to keep your child home
A child with a fever, or who was sick in the night, stays home until the next morning. If a child is unwell at school we call an adult in the family, and the office sends a note when something is going around.
Drop-off and pickup
Cars arrive at the front from 7:45 a.m. and leave from 3:15 p.m. A teacher greets every child at the door. Only the adults on the family's pickup list may collect a child, and we ask to see ID until we know you.
Closures for weather and holidays
The school closes for holidays, the winter and spring breaks, and for severe weather. A closure is sent by text and WhatsApp before 6:30 a.m.
Leaving the program
We ask families to tell the office in writing before the end of a term. The enrollment agreement explains how a term in progress is handled.
Screens and phones
Children do not use phones or tablets during the school day. A phone that comes to school stays switched off in the backpack.
Uniform
The uniform is a polo shirt and navy trousers or skirt, with closed shoes. The office keeps the list, and you may buy the pieces at any shop.
Meals, snacks and allergies
Families send a lunch, and the school provides water. Tell us about allergies at the visit; we ask privately once you enroll, and each teacher keeps the plan for the children in her room.
Absences and late arrival
If your child will miss school, tell the office by WhatsApp or phone before 8:15 a.m. If a child arrives late, they come in through the office and a teacher walks them to the room.
