There will be an
attendance sheet available for Infants and Wobblers in their classrooms, and
for all preschool students in the front hallway. Please take the time to
indicate “Yes” or “No” for each of your student’s scheduled days during the
holiday weeks. This will be a great help to us as we plan staffing during the
holidays.
If your Sprout
student will be attending Sprout during the Portland Public School
winter break, please contact the office to arrange these attendance dates in
advance.
Inclement Weather Reminder
It’s getting cold
outside, and we wanted to remind families of our inclement weather policy. Should
weather conditions prove questionable, Sunshine
School will generally follow Portland Public School District ’s
late opening and closures. The Director has the final authority to determined Sunshine School ’s
status, and information will be made available on Sunshine School ’s
voicemail system, as well as by email to parents. Parents are advised to call
the school if conditions are questionable. If Portland Public Schools have two
hour delay due to weather, Sunshine
School will open at 9:00
am. In the event that weather conditions worsen after Sunshine School
has already opened for the day, parents will be individually contacted
regarding early closure. Please be certain that Sunshine School
has adequate emergency contact information in the office.
