Personal belongings

Each child is assigned a box their first day of school. This is where all clothing and other personal items will be stored. Regarding clothing:

• Plans here include sand, mud, water and paint. Clothes do get dirty and stained. Please send clothing that allows children to fully participate.

• Just in case your child needs to change out of dirty or wet clothes, please pack an extra set (or two) of clothing and shoes everyday.

• Please label each piece of clothing with your child’s name in a permanent marker.

• Please do not bring or wear valuable clothing to school.

• Please bring appropriate seasonal clothing including raincoats, waterproof boots, sweaters, swim trunks and towels. These should also be labeled.

Special Items

• Diapers and the supplies that go with them should come from home and be clearly marked.

• A special blanket or comfort item is okay to bring to school. Please make sure that the item is clearly marked with your child’s name.

• Please keep your valuables (jewelry, money, etc.) at home. These things often cause conflicts between children, and keeping track of any valuables is difficult.

Lost and Found

When items in the school cannot be matched to their owners they are placed in the lost and found. Please ask a facilitator where the lost and found is located, and check it regularly when items are missing.
