ELC - Updates

25 May 2020

Dear Families and Carers,

Enrolments

Our Enrolment period has been extended for 1 week. If any of your friends, family or neighbours have Preschool aged children in 2021 and are looking for a wonderful Preschool for next year please encourage them to contact us on 62310491.

NSS

This Wednesday is National Simultaneous Story time and to celebrate we are asking students to wear silly socks for our SOCKS & STORIES day. The students will listen to this year’s NSS picture book – Chicken Divas and many other stories throughout the day.

Pasta tuck day

You are welcome to order a pasta lunch for your Preschool child for Wednesday. Please see QKR for more details or contact us.

Temp checks

This term we implemented temperature testing as an additional precautionary measure. With the risk of COVID-19 decreasing in the ACT and based on the advice provided by ACT Health, the temperature testing procedure can now be ceased. We will transition this week to only measuring temps on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and then discontinue in Week 6.

Advice from ACT Health is that the most important measures to continue are:

Parents: if your child is sick, do not send them to the ELC. You must keep them at home and away from others. Remember to maintain physical distancing from other parents and staff when attending the ELC, including when dropping off and picking up your children.

Children: encourage children to tell a parent, guardian or teacher if they are feeling sick.

Staff: do not come to work if you are sick or in a vulnerable person category. Remember to maintain physical distancing from other staff and parents when at the ELC.

Maintain: the recommended health, hygiene and cleaning standards.

A sincere thanks to all our families for your support and cooperation during this time and special thanks to all our children for their understanding, patience and flexibility.

Warm regards, ELC Team.
