All snacks must be nut-free. Several of our friends have severe food allergies.

Please send in a snack for before and after care.

*If your child has a food allergy, please submit an "Allergy Action Plan". If an EpiPen is required, please provide one designated for the before and after school program.

We are no longer able to accept students into before and after school care without a monthly schedule or at least 48 hours advance notice. Staff is scheduled according to number of students confirmed to attend.

Please do not drop students off at Village or IH in the morning or plan to attend in the afternoon without advance notice and confirmation from my office.

If your child is in school and scheduled to attend After Care or an After School Camp but will not be attending, it is important to follow these steps to avoid confusion at dismissal.

• Before Care: There will be a staff member there to greet you and take your child's temperature. Please do not leave until they have been cleared. 
• After Care: Please sign students out and include the time of p/u.
• Please alert any emergency contacts to the above drop off and pick-up procedures.
