What is meant by toilet training? Children must be able to go the toilet independently and without assistance. Can my child bring a toy to school? Children are not to bring toys to school as we cannot ensure that the toys do not get lost or broken during the school day. Can I send a birthday cake or birthday treats to school with my child. When recognising your child’s birthday at school, small birthday snacks are appreciated however, please ensure that snacks are easy to distribute (i.e. cupcakes) and adhere to the school’s ‘no nut’ policy. No commercially purchased cakes can be brought in to share with children. Please arrange a suitable time with homeroom teachers prior to their birthday if you wish to have a small class celebration. If my child has an older sibling in the primary school what can I do about pick up for the child in the ELC? You can use the afternoon club at BTK. Children are escorted safely there after school. This is available for both P1 and P2 children. Contact the admissions officer to discuss this. When will the children use the library in the ELC? The children will have library lessons with their homeroom teacher when they can choose a book, and an additional weekly session with the teacher librarian. They each receive a library bag when they begin school. Please ensure they return their book, in its bag, to the homeroom in time for the next library lesson. When can parents use the library in the ELC? For parents the ELC library is open from 8:15am until 8:45am from Monday to Friday. Parents may have books issued by our library assistant Farida. These books are issued in the parent’s name as children borrow their own library book during their class library time.
Illnesses These tips can help you decide whether to keep your child at home: 1. If your child complains of not feeling well but otherwise has no definite symptoms, your child can likely attend school. The school nurse will typically call you if something more develops. Be sure to contact your paediatrician if the complaints persist or other more definite sick symptoms develop. 2. Fever is a symptom of illness and not an actual diagnosis. Fever usually indicates that the body is battling an infection. A child with a fever greater than 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius needs to stay home from school until the fever is gone for at least 24 hours. If the fever does not resolve in two to three days, or if your child appears sick with any fever, call your doctor to have your child evaluated. 3. Many rashes will resolve spontaneously and are not reason alone to keep a child home from school. Any rash associated with symptoms such as trouble breathing or swallowing, fever, or ill appearance, should be evaluated by your physician. Rashes that are itchy or scaly may be contagious and should be evaluated before sending a child back to school. 4. Cough alone may not prevent your child from attending school unless it is interfering with a child’s sleep or ability to participate in school activities. If the cough is productive and has phlegm or is associated with fever or trouble breathing, keep your child home from school and arrange to have the child seen by their paediatrician. 5. Stool problems do sometimes require a child to stay home from school. This is especially true with diarrhoea where the stool frequency is often many times an hour. Diarrhoea that is bloody or associated with fever, abdominal pain, or vomiting should be evaluated by your doctor. 6. A child with vomiting, with or without diarrhoea, needs to stay home from school. Your child can return to school when the symptoms have stopped and the child can tolerate a regular diet. 7. Children can attend school with mild sore throats if no other symptoms are occurring. Any child with a sore throat associated with fever, vomiting, abdominal pain, or difficulty swallowing should be evaluated by a doctor before returning to school. Call your child’s school and ask if strep throat is going
