Emergency Preparedness Clothing Kits

At the start of the school year, we collect emergency preparedness clothing kits to store at school in the event of an emergency. The instructions for the kit are provided at the beginning of the year in the Parent Handbook. You may collect your child's previous year's kit at our year-end potluck picnic. If your child is staying for the summer program, you may update your kit at that time.

Work hours and opportunities

There are important ways parents can be involved in the nursery school. To ensure the success of our school, each nursery school family is responsible for a minimum of five hours of work time for the academic year. Parents who are unable to fulfill work hours may instead pay a fee of $20.00 per hour, up to $100.00. At Back to School Night, we will hand out a list of a variety of work opportunities that are available throughout the year.

Here is a list of activities that count toward the five parent work hours:

Working in garden
Working on the annual fundraiser (planning, organizing, setup/cleanup, etc.)
Working during annual fundraiser (i.e. serving, cashing out auction winners...)
Office work
Cleaning/organizing classrooms
Fixing/building structures in and out of classroom
Scholastic Books parent for the classroom
Making food for teacher meetings or special school events (you will be notified when cooking for particular events is requested).
Set up/working during event/clean up for any of the Jewish Events for our Nursery School Community (i.e. Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Simchat Torah, Channukah, Tu B'Shevat, Purim Carnival, and Passover)

Feel free to ask teachers to give you something that you could work on at home (i.e. Preparation for in-class projects).

Please note that all parent work hours need to be completed by April. If the five hours are not completed, $100 will be added to your May bill (or $20/hour for each hour not completed). A parent volunteer will keep track of your hours (check with the office). Please provide the volunteer with the hours you've completed, the dates, and the name of the activities.

Parent Committee

The Parent Committee tries to meet every month, usually at 9:15 am after drop-off. Everyone is welcome to join the committee or attend a meeting.
