We have decided to make a couple of changes to our home-time routine to help the children manage their belongings more successfully:
- Instead of the children carrying their water bottles out to you, you will now be able to find these in the pink box just outside the classroom door. Please help yourself to your child’s water bottle when you come to collect them.
- Unclaimed hats, scarves, gloves, bags, etc. will be put in the black box – also just outside the door. Again, please help yourself to your child’s belongings.
If, after checking both boxes, you would like to send your child back into the classroom to find something, we would be most grateful if you could wait until all the children have been dismissed before doing so.
Finally, we really appreciate it when you stand back from the door at pick up – this helps the children to find their way to their grown-up more easily without having to push past anyone. We understand that it may seem as though we haven’t seen you if we haven’t yet called your child, but please be reassured that we have seen you! We always dismiss the children 1 by 1 for their own safety and thank you very much for your patience while you wait.
