Parent Handbook
The Handbook includes our Mission Statement and program philosophy, school policies and procedures, and information regarding the curriculum used at the Village for Early Childhood Education.
Allergy Aware
The Village is an allergy aware school. We work diligently with staff, families, and students to support individuals with food allergies. Parents/Guardians of students with severe food allergies are asked to contact the School Nurse Consultant.
Families often ask about support for students with nut/peanut allergies:
- Parents/Guardians and staff are asked to refrain from sending or eating peanuts or nuts or food items containing peanuts or nuts. This is particularly important for classroom snacks and activities that involve food.
- Please follow the Snack Policy in The Village Family Handbook and to get snack ideas from their classroom teacher.
- School staff work with students and families to reinforce hand washing, not sharing food, checking food labels and asking an adult for help.
We appreciate everyone being vigilant in our combined efforts to keep children safe.
