Important Parent Information

---

Every week, please have your child bring a small bag or backpack with their personal nut free snack(or a few different items depending on their appetite) and labelled water bottle.

For children in Preschool and Kindergarten, please pack an extra set of clothing in a Ziploc bag that includes shirt, pants, socks, and underwear for those "in case" moments (whether they get wet during an activity or have an accident).

Please dress your child accordingly for Phys. Ed. outside.  We will inform you ahead of time through Team Snap if we are moving them inside due to poor weather. As we move from Fall into Winter, please make sure they have mitts, toques, boots, warm winter jackets, and snow pants if we mention they will still be outside.  If your child wears boots to Co-op in the Winter, please send running shoes for them to wear inside.

We will plan to have special guests throughout the year to present various topics (eg. Science, Art, charity drive, etc.)

We are still exploring the idea of some kind of field trip activities onsite.  Most likely, if we are able to do this, they will be smaller groupings and not the whole Co-op.  Note: these may have some additional fees attached to them.  

If you child is sick (runny nose, sneezing, fever, coughing, vomiting, or diarrhea within 24 hours of our Co-op day) please keep them home and update their attendance in Team Snap along with a quick message to Heather Lewis.

If you child becomes sick during the Co-op morning, we will contact parents and potentially move them to another room while they are waiting for pickup.

Team Snap is our primary means of communication with you! Please update this app every week with your child's attendance.  It is really helpful for us to know when kids are away.  We will also use the Team Chat regularly for any information we need to get to you during the week. Each grade group will have their own Team Chat. 

You can access any of your receipts needed through the year on the Team Snap website.  You need to be on a desktop computer to find them.

Throughout the year we will also add special events to our calendar that are run through the church and Encounter Sports.  You are more than welcome to sign up for any of these activities. We have events for kids (including our 5/6er groups and activities), youth (our Refuge groups and activities), families, women, and men!  Please check our church website regularly for any of this information: 

And check our Encounter Sports website for any sports camp information as well.
