Welcome to a new school year at Kids’ Campus!

HOLIDAY

Kids’ Campus will be closed on Monday, September 6th, for Labor Day. 

ANNUAL UPDATES

Texas Minimum Standards requires regular updates of information for each child. The update will be in your child’s mailbox by the end of this week for those who have registered before August 1, 2021. It is important that we keep up-to-date information for contacting you, such as people on your pick up and emergency call lists, addresses, phone numbers AND it is important to update any/all allergies and health information for each child. Please complete and sign/date all sections and return the information by September 13th. Each child in your household will need a form. Please also bring updated immunization records as your child receives them.

HANDBOOK POLICY REMINDERS

Each month, this section will have reminders about Parent Handbook Policy. Each family should have received one upon enrollment. If you would like a new handbook, please request one and Ms. Rosy will make sure you receive it ASAP.

• It is against Kids’ Campus policy for staff to give parents their personal contact information. This company recognizes the parent/teacher relationship and respectfully asks that you contact them during business hours by business phone or by the following class emails.

                       i.  Infant & Toddler 1 Class – infanttoddler1@windstream.net

                        a.  If custody of your child changes while he/she is enrolled, please be sure that the center 

                             receives a copy of the custody documents.

                        b. A parent may call the center to authorize release of their child to someone other than who is

                             listed on the enrollment papers, and that person should bring a driver’s license or photo I.D.

                             to be copied before the child will be released.

                        c. All children MUST be signed out at the time of departure each day.

                        d. Persons (under driving age) will need written permission to allow pick-up of children in care

                            (signature on enrollment paper will be appropriate).

                                   i. This is a Texas Minimum Standards for Child Care requirement.

                                   ii. Please use the Parent’s Daily Info form in the entry if needed.

MUSIC ENRICHMENT

Music enrichment time with Mr. Tom Wilbeck will continue again this year! Mr. Tom will be a part of our curriculum and will be here on the first Tuesday every month beginning September 7th! The kids love the songs and silliness he brings. The teachers enjoy watching the kids learn with him. The best part……. he teaches!! The cost is $5 per family, infant to Pre-K for this amazing experience. You can find out more about Mr. Tom and Tom’s Fun Band by visiting www.tomsfunband.com. 

SCHOLASTIC BOOK ORDER

You will find September’s Scholastic book order in your child’s mailbox by the end of the week. If you would like to order books for your child, fill out the order form on the back, and drop it with payment in the pink basket (make checks payable to “Scholastic” no cash) by Monday, September 13th. Your order will be in your child’s box in a week or two. Kids’ Campus receives bonus points for every book ordered, we can use these points to order books and classroom supplies. You can even order on-line at www.scholastic.com/readingclub. Just use activation code M9CMD!! Viola’!! Scholastic will be sending out emails also to help make it as easy as possible.

CAR WINDOW DECAL

Within the month, in your child’s mailbox, you will find a window decal. I would appreciate it if you would proudly display the decal on the back window of your car. I purchased these decals a couple of months ago, waiting for the perfect opportunity to hand them out or put them on your car for you while you pick up your children. I could never quite figure that out.  LOL! So, I just ask you to please display them on your window and if you would like more than 1, I will be glad to give you as many as you need!

HOUSE KEEPING &   REMINDERS…

1. 1. Please have your infant – Pre-K children here before9 a.m. Snack is served at 9 and curriculum and fun begin. Arriving early will assure that your child will have plenty of time for snack and have a successful rest time.
2. If your child has an accident or gets very dirty outside, we will need a change of clothes. If your child has no clothes provided, we will use Kids’ Campus clothes. I ask that you please return Kids’ Campus clothes the following day. In the last couple of years, our extra clothes supply has decreased, especially underwear! So, please return them ASAP.
3. When you receive a minor mishap, please sign and return it. We must have this in their file. 
4. If your child needs medication, you will need to fill out a form EACH day medication is needed, the teacher will administer the medication and return the authorization to the office. 
5. Tuition is due on Monday. A $15 late fee is added if tuition is paid after 9:00 A.M. Wednesday. IF you need alternate pay schedules, please call the office and we can work with you to avoid any late fees.
6. If your child/children are picked up after 6:00 p.m. a late fee is added to your tuition as follows:

• 6:01 a late fee of $15/child is added to your tuition.
• Each additional 10 minutes will be another $15 charge per child.

1. Breakfast is served to 7:25 ONLYin the main building. Breakfast needs to be brought ready to eat. We do not have a microwave available in the classrooms. Children (2’s class and up) arriving after 7:30 will need to have breakfast before coming into the building. Morning snack is served at 9:00.
2. We love to keep our Lost and Found boxes empty, so please label everything!
3. Verbal messages are difficult for us to remember since there are so many each day, please WRITE IT DOWN and we will do our best to get it to your child’s teacher or the appropriate staff member.

PICTURE DAY

Ms. Karen with Lasting Memories Photography will be here Tuesday, October 19, 2021. Please stay tuned for the October Newsletter for more information.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES

School supply lists are available upon request, and on our website: www.mykidscampus.com. If you have not picked one up, please do so and provide your child’s supplies as soon as possible. They have already begun using them, and it is important to your child to have his/her own things. School age children have a short list to replenish consumable supplies used in their room and should also provide those as soon as possible.

SHOW & TELL

Show & Tell for the 3’s and Pre-K classes is on Wednesdays. We do not allow toys to be brought from home at any other time. The “theme” for each week’s Show and Tell will be listed on your monthly curriculum calendar.

PARENTS OF SCHOOL-AGERS

IMPORTANT: School age parents- If your child is absent or picked up early from school, and will not come to Kids’ Campus, YOU NEED TO LET US KNOW IN WRITING, BY TEXT OR PHONE CALL. Please do not rely on VERBAL MESSAGES! The school-age building has an answering machine for your convenience, 979-548-3460, or you can call the office. If texting is easier, please text 979-864-6588. We will be expecting your child and will wait at the school with all the other children until we know your child is safe. This is a Minimum Standards rule. If we do not hear from you and must call or text to find out where your child is, THERE WILL BE A $5.00 CHARGE PER PHONE CALL OR TEXT! Don’t forget, if they are absent, picked up early and will not need transportation, please let us know.
