FAQ's
Dress Code
Please label all tags with students name. Every year we donate several unlabeled and unclaimed jackets and sweaters.
 Normal School Day - Solid colors, top and bottom, no pictures or words.
(PreK may wear t- shirts, Kinder and Up must wear collared shirts)
 Chapel Day - Navy tops, khaki bottoms.
 Field Trip Day - HCA Spirit Shirt is mandatory as part of safety protocol, regardless of parent attendance
 MDO - No dress Code
Lunches/Snacks
We do provide a small snack and water mid morning. However, students need to eat breakfast before they arrive, and
bring a lunch each day. Microwaves are available for heat ups, but by state law we are not equipped to cook anything.
Loveys / Sippy Cups
Please label/mark all items brought from home with students name. These items will remain in cubbies until nap time.
Naps/Nap Mats
By state law, all MDO through PreK4 Students must have a nap mat, and it must be stored in a large plastic bag. (There
are Ziplock storage bags large enough to fit everything including blanket and pillow.) Students are not required to sleep,
but they are required to lay down for the allotted time. Please note, most nap mats are plastic and students tend to
sweat and get cold if the mat is left uncovered. We recommend all mats be covered and a blanket provided.
Payments
Tuition payments are broken up into a twelve month schedule. The first payment is due June 1st, and tuition gets paid
every month through the following May.

Summer Care

school board makes a decision based on that feedback. Summer care is only extended to currently enrolled families unless there are excess seats available, in which case, the program will be opened to the public.
