supplies
Parents are asked to supply an extra change of clothes that is placed in a labelled gallon sized ziploc bag. If your child has an accident or needs to change clothes, please make sure to bring extras the following day. Students should be wearing clothes that are comfortable to run and jump in and shoes that can be put on by your child. Shoes with laces should only be worn if your child can tie them on their own. Please pack a water bottle and a light jacket or sweatshirt for your child at all times.
parent communication
It is important to maintain open communication between parents and teachers. We are committed to providing feedback on learning milestones as well as points of hardship. Every family and every student matters to us and we will always have your child’s best interest at heart. We are open to suggestions and happy to offer feedback and support as well.
Parents must drop off their child to the person in charge and share any information needed to ensure a happy day. For example, if your child did not sleep well, was up late, or is extra tired, or is not feeling well, we kindly request being told this information so that we can be sensitive to your child’s needs.
ACTIVE LEARNING ACADEMY - THE WORKPLACE
It is important to note that ALA is not just a place for children, but a workplace for talented and dedicated teachers. The teachers of Active Learning Academy are required to uphold our policies and procedures and will enforce policies when necessary. This can be difficult for teachers to remind parents of our policies. Please take time to review our handbook to ensure you are comfortable with the policies we have in place. We respect the rights of the teachers to be able to perform their daily duties in a positive and respectful environment. If at any time a teacher feels that they are not being given support by a parent or adult it could be cause for termination.
If a teacher requests additional help with your child please do all you can to support the teacher. Teachers within our program are encouraged to work closely with families to help support the children in all aspects of their daily lives. There will be times of uncomfortable conversations – children have big feelings and are learning to control their bodies – problems will arise. Work with your child’s teacher to collaborate on how to resolve issues.
