School Policies

We have a very firm “sick child policy”. If your child is not feeling well, please keep him/her home until the condition has improved. Do not bring your child to school if s/he has a fever over 98.6F or 37C, a contagious rash, bad cough, any discharge of colored or profuse mucus from the nose or eye, diarrhea, sore throat, or if your child is vomiting or any student who is suffering from a communicable disease. If your child becomes ill during class, we will contact you with the expectation that a parent or guardian will immediately come and pick up your child. The ill child will be kept away from the other children until the parent has arrived to take the child home. We also ask that parents of any child, who becomes ill with a communicable disease after school hours, contact the school as soon as possible so other families may be notified. The staff are required to fill out an illness form which includes the ill child’s name, date of incident, staff member who identified the ill child, time child was removed as well as date the child returned to the program. The child will only return back to the program once a written notice from a         physician has been presented indicating the child does not pose a health risk to persons on the program premises.

To keep our classroom as germ-free as possible we ask the children to sanitize their hands upon entry to our classroom. This is only given at the beginning of class or if we have been touching something during a presentation. If your child has any sensitivity to these products please advise one of the staff members.

 Kinderssori Academy may provide or allow the use of health care to a child only when the written consent of the parent has been obtained, or when the health care provided is in the nature of first aid. 

 Kinderssori Academy complies in accordance with the City of Leduc in believing that it is important to promote healthy lifestyles and to discourage the use of tobacco products. All City of Leduc buildings are designated smoke free. As Kinderssori Academy is located in a church we abide by the above guideline. As well as abiding the guidelines within the church itself. 

The school does not administer medication. If children are not well, they should remain at home. For children with severe allergies or asthma, parents must leave a ventilator and/or Epi-pen at school. These are stored safely out of reach of our students in a clear bag, out of reach of all children but visible for the parent helper with quick access if needed. The above situations are the only cases in which Kinderssori staff will administer medication provided that the child’s parent has given written consent on the registration form; the medication is in the original labeled container with all the directions for administration on the label as well as a written list of symptoms that occur prior to administration of medication ex. swelling, hives, and itching. When medication is administered, it is the responsibility of the teacher to record the date, time, name of the medication, the dose is given, and circumstances as to why the medication was administered and signs the record. It is also the responsibility of the teacher to inform both the child’s parent(s) that the emergency situation occurred where the administration of medication was necessary.

Due to peanut allergies, we remain a nut aware classroom. If parents wish to hand out loot bags on their child’s birthday or classroom event or bring in a sweet treat, we request nut-free items only.

Weather permitting; we try to spend a period of fifteen-minutes outdoors throughout the school year.

Please be aware of the conditions and prepare your child with the proper attire and/or skin protective lotion. On sunny days we encourage all parents to apply sunscreen before class and to leave a sunhat in their child’s cubby.

If the weather conditions reach -30C without the wind chill factor, or when blizzard conditions make driving impossible the school will close. The school will notify you by email and/or phone if classes are cancelled.

 Many educational opportunities are missed due to absence. Repeated absences interrupt the flow of your child’s learning, creating additional work for teacher and student. Please schedule your family vacations in conjunction with the school’s calendar. The Directress reserves the right to withdraw a student from the school for excessive tardiness and absenteeism, except where due solely to illness, disease or accident, as certified by a licensed physician. Five days per semester will be considered the general guideline. This policy helps maintain our school structure. Parents are asked to notify the school if their child will not be attending for any reason. Consistent attendance will ensure academic success!
