Parent Information
1. Tuition is due and payable on the 15th of the
preceding month. If tuition is not paid within 10 days, a fine of $10.00 will be
charged after the first of the month. No reduction in tuition will be allowed in
the event of absence due to illness, vacations, inclement weather, or any other
reason. If a child is withdrawn after the tuition is paid for a particular
month, the balance of the month's tuition will not be refunded. Please allow one
month's notice when withdrawing your child from our program.
2. Children should wear comfortable play clothes and removable articles of
clothing should be labeled. Warm clothes should be worn on cold days.
3. A nutritional snack will be served daily. Parents may send in special
snacks for birthdays, holidays, etc.
4. Children should arrive promptly at 9:00A/12:00P; they will be dismissed at
11:30A/2:30P. Late pick up fees may need to be enforced if problems arise.
Children will not be released to anyone other than parent/guardian unless a note
is sent from home.
5. Parents are asked to use the tote bag given to the students to carry their
art work, cooking items, or projects home.
6. Parents are encouraged to share their talents in a variety of ways. Careers, avocations, and an extra set of hands and a smile are always welcome.
7. We encourage field trips but will need parental assistance for chaperones,
drivers, and organizers. Proof of insurance is required for all drivers.
8. A formal conference will take place in April.
9. Students' records are available for review by parents/guardians upon
request and a written release must be signed if records are to be released to
anyone else.
10. We will follow the Montgomery Count Public Schools Schedule for Holidays,
etc. In case of inclement weather, ELF will be closed if MCPS is closed. If MCPS
opens 1 hour late, we will open 1 hour late also. If MCPS opens 2 hours late, we
will have afternoon classes only. Morning classes will be cancelled.
11. If your child is sick, PLEASE do not send him or her! This includes runny
noses.
12. Any necessary medication must be administered at home. If a medical
emergency occurs at school, the parent/guardian will be called first, then
the child's doctor.
13. The parents or guardians upon admission to school must sign an emergency
release form. The school will proceed with necessary medical procedures until
the parents can be notified. All children must have necessary inoculations.
14. Any person suspecting child abuse will first report it to the
teacher/Director and then make a report to the Department of Social Services.
Forms are available at the school but the agency should be contacted immediately
by phone.
15. Finally, we as educators are here to nurture, build self-esteem, and
stimulate curiosity in math, science, health, language arts, nutrition, and
social skills.
