This Week @ MOPS 1.13.15

We started off the new semester with a preschool panel.  We heard about WCPSS' preschool program, homeschooling, church preschools, and private preschools.

 

To view the slides from during the panel, visit: Preschool Options
To view the handouts, visit: Preschool Handouts

Also, visit Go Ask Mom to find out about an upcoming charter school fair
on this coming Monday, January 26th:

We also had finance update.  We should be able to come in at budget if all moms pay their dues for this semester; see below for how to pay your dues.  To view the update, visit:  Finance Update

A few other notes...

Cold and Flu season is back!  In order to preserve the good health of those in MOPPETS, both moms and workers should be aware of general health concerns and policies.  Please note the following policies, which determine whether or not a child should be in MOPPETS.  If your child has any of the following symptoms and/or illnesses, they should NOT attend:

• Fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or runny nose in the previous 24 hours

• Has been receiving antibiotic medication for less than 48 hours

• A fresh cold with sneezing or requiring frequent nose blowing/wiping

• A questionable rash (Impetigo, measles, mumps, active chicken pox or conjunctivitis (pink eye))

Please don't be offended if our childcare workers show concern about whether a child should be dropped off or not.  We miss you when you are not here, but we want to keep everyone as healthy as possible!

 Many thanks to current MOPS mom Andrea Self with DoTerra Essential Oils for sponsoring our meeting!

As the fall semester went on, we seemed to be starting a little later. 

In order to have time for everything, we are going to try to start more promptly at 9:30.

Drop off starts at 9:15 for our little ones.

However, if you are running late, please still come as we all have crazy mornings!

 If you haven't done so already, please pay your Spring Semester dues ($50) to cover child care, craft and other expenses.
