58 Toilet Training Policy SMLS policy is that children are to be toilet-trained before entering the Preschool program; diapers are not permitted at any time. The children are given frequent, regular opportunities to use the washroom, although occasional “accidents” are normal in this age group. The teachers encourage independence by assisting them while they change. A child who proves to be unreliably toilet-trained may be asked to leave the program until she is properly trained. However, there is no guarantee that her space in the Preschool will remain secure. Parents of children who regularly have bowel movements in their underwear may be asked to come to school to “change” their child. Behaviour Management At SMiLeS Preschool, students should feel protected, safe and loved at all times in a welcoming and nurturing learning environment. Our teachers provide a kind, compassionate, understanding atmosphere that involves helping children develop self-control and self-direction skills through fairness, flexibility and firmness. Our Behaviour Management Plan is designed to teach students the behavioural skills, concepts and knowledge necessary to become respectful, responsible and self-disciplined learners, based on their level of understanding. A copy of our Behaviour Management Plan is available in ‘My SMLS’ under Forms and Documents. Health Requirements The Public Health Act (section 75, SS1-5) requires that children who are suffering from any communicable disease, such as viral infections accompanied by diarrhea, vomiting, high fever, persistent cough and conjunctivitis (pink-eye), not attend Preschool until they are symptom-free for 24 hours. If the child becomes ill at school, the parent will be contacted and the child will need to be picked up as soon as possible. Children who are at school must be able to participate fully indoors and outdoors, as we do not have staff to supervise children individually. Please refer to the Health Centre section under Full School Information for details on Medications at School, Health Forms, Accidents/Emergencies, Allergies/Anaphylaxis/Asthma, Communicable Diseases, Concussion, and Pediculosis.

Keeping in Touch Communication between the school and our families include: • The SMLS Parent Handbook. Parents are asked to acknowledge receipt of the Handbook by signing the relevant section on the Permission Form. • The Parent Information bulletin board with calendars, events, program plans and menus. • Regular newsletters. • The child’s progress report, sent out in February/March, and parent interviews held in November and March with dates and times arranged in advance. Such interviews allow a special time for parents and teachers to share the child’s progress and discuss any concerns about the program. • Our website, private parent portal ‘My SMLS’, and weekly school-wide eblasts. Parents are welcome to visit the Preschool to familiarize themselves with their child’s friends and routines, and are asked to make arrangements beforehand. Parents will be required to sign in/out at Reception in Nicholas Hall. Volunteering We welcome parents to visit and/or volunteer in our program at any time. Parents can take an active role in our program by assisting at one of the centres, working with a small group on an activity, volunteering to supervise on a field trip, reading stories, supporting the science or social studies activities and/or being an extra pair of hands in the classroom. All parents wishing to volunteer must fill out the SMLS Volunteer Enrolment Package, which includes the form and privacy policy, and must submit a valid police check. See ‘My SMLS’ for forms and complete details.
