Parent/School Communications
-
At Sorrento Valley Children's Center we feel that parent support, and possibly active participation, are necessary and vital components of our program. Responsibility for your child is shared when he or she is enrolled in our school. We feel that your child's maximum progress will be realized through a sense of continuity derived from the mutual respect and cooperation between your family and our school.
Parents will be informed of the latest developments and announcements relative to the school through our monthly newsletter and via the parent communication board outlining each week's plan and a daily note of activities. Parent teacher conferences will be held on a scheduled basis throughout the year. Parents requesting a special conference may make an appointment with the teacher.
Parents are welcome to visit the school at any time (except during rest time) and to confer with the Director by appointment.

Health Requirements
-
Your child's health is of major importance. For your protection our school has adopted the following policies:
Children must be in good health to attend Sorrento Valley Children's Center. Children who are noted to be in ill health upon arrival will be asked to return home by the Director until well enough to return to school. Children who become ill at school will be isolated until the notified parent can come to pick up their child. Medication prescribed by a doctor can be given at school (only at 12:30 PM) with written authorization from the parent.
A child who is fatigued, shows signs of illness, or if fever has been noted in the last 24 hours should be kept home. Your cooperation is your child's protection.
If your child should be exposed to a communicable disease, you must inform the Director immediately so incubation dates may be verified and the health needs of all children protected.
Please list on the enrollment forms any allergies your child may have. Include any sensitivities to insect stings.

Emergency Cards
-
Emergency cards are essential to the child's attendance at school. Be sure that addresses and telephone numbers of those designated to pick up your child (including your own) are kept current. If an accident occurs during the day, (aside from minor bumps and scrapes), the emergency card becomes our means of getting in contact with the parents or whomever has been designated in their place. The parent will be notified of what action has been taken.
NOTE: The State of California requires a physical examination, TB test, and all required immunizations upon Initial enrollment in school.
