• Fall Carnival
• Our annual Fall Carnival is Friday October 25th from 7:00-8:30 P.M.
• Please encourage your families to let their children dress up in their Halloween costumes.
• Every teacher must sign up to run a booth- please see the list in the office
• Each classroom will create a themed basket of items to auction off at the carnival. Please choose your theme and post a flyer asking for donations.
• Please make a list of items you may need for the booth you are running and turn it in to the office 
• Lesson Plans must be turned in to the office each Friday. This is in order to ensure they are developmentally appropriate and posted on time as well.  
• Cell phones- please stay off of them. We have a no cell phone policy in the classrooms. This includes resting time.
• Outside cleanup- please clean up outside after your class has been outside. This includes pushing in chairs, lining up all push toys against the fence, putting all balls back in the crates, and cleaning up all trash. We want to ensure that our facility is clean and safe for families.
• Please greet each child and parent when entering the classroom in the morning! The children feel more welcome when you greet them, speak to their parent and have a friendly attitude. It makes the drop off process easier for everyone involved.
•  CPR/ First Aid training- October 15th at 10:00 in the school age room.
• You must have current CPR/First Aid to be employed here. It is required for all staff.
• Please see the sign up sheet in the office if you need this certification.
• Thank you all for everything you do. We appreciate your dedication and hard work each day.

Staff meetings are very important. It is one of the only times you have an opportunity to discuss important issues with the entire staff. It is also a time to do trainings on issues specific to your facility. The staff get to know each other better and see who their co-workers are. Many staff member are only morning staff or only afternoon so it gives them a chance to meet everyone and ask any questions that they may have.
