You sign your child out
You review the comments that describe your child’s day
Please double check your child has not left anything behind (eg. water bottle)

Sign-in/out Sheets
All parents/families must sign their child in each morning and sign them out each afternoon. This is a legal requirement and it is a part of our legal obligations in regards to licensing and also fire safety. The sign-in book is the roll we have to use to check off the children in a fire evacuation, and if it is incomplete, we are not able to legally account for all members of the class.
