Dear Parents,

I hope you are enjoying your Labor Day weekend! We'll be welcoming all children back to school on Tuesday. We are very excited for a new year at TLC!

Our themes and curriculum this month will revolve around getting to know our students, their families, and their friends.

In mid-September, we will focus on apples. You may see apple prints and apple patterns. We will dissect apples, count seeds, make graphs, compare types of apples, and have an apple tasting party!

If you haven't already signed up for text alerts, please text @tlcmerrick to 81010.

Friendly Reminder
Please remember to label everything with your child's first and last name, especially personal items. Food MUST be labeled!
Medicals
 Updated forms are needed at the following dates: 3-6-9-12-18 months &
2-3-4-5 years.

You will be reminded as your child's birthday or medical expires.
Please use TLC's form every time.
Medications can be administered with proper doctor's permission and medication that matches. For example: we cannot administer Tylenol if your doctor specified Motrin. It is VERY specific.

All medication must be provided in its original packaging including the cup/syringe. This will ensure proper dispensing of the dose.

If you want medication to be given to your child to manage pain, or if your child has allergies and they require medication, please speak to an MAT trained teacher to check in your forms/medicines.
