Welcome to Clyde's Corner
Springing into April
Needing some prayers? We got you! If you would like our Big Red Barn Prayer Team to pray for something specific, you can submit prayer requests here! Remember no prayer is too big for our God and with community in prayer, anything is possible
Monthly Updates:
- Name-to Face and Transitions
-
It is very important that we are conducting name-to-face checks correctly at all times.
You should complete a name-to-face at the following times:
- As soon as you are lined up in the classroom and preparing to head outside
- When you reach the front door
- Once you are inside the silver fence
- Then a transition when you are in the outside play area
When coming back inside:
- While lined up outside to come in
- At the top of the silver gate
- Once everyone is inside by the front door
Finally, you will conduct a transition as soon as you return to the classroom.
Please ensure these steps are followed consistently to maintain safety and accountability for all students.

- Hydration
-
“Gatorade… H2O… Gatorade… H2O!” 💧
Extra 5 points to the first 3 teachers who can name that movie! -
As we approach the warmer months, hydration is extremely important. Please make sure that you, as adults, are also staying properly hydrated throughout the day.
-
- Time-Off Requests
- There will be a calendar in the office for all time-off requests and schedule changes. Please check the calendar before booking any trips or requesting time off.
- Please keep in mind
- We can only allow 2 people off per day
- Those 2 people cannot be from the same classroom
- All requests must still be submitted through ADP.
- This system will help us stay organized, reduce denied requests, and ensure everyone has the opportunity to take time off at appropriate times.
- If there is an emergency and there are already two people scheduled off that day, please come speak with Miss Alyscia directly.
- Outside Expectations
-
Outdoor play is the highest-risk time for injuries, so active supervision is essential at all times.
- Teacher must maintain constant visual attention on the children in their care.
- It is NOT acceptable to stand by the fence or engage in conversations with other teachers or children from different classrooms while you are responsible for your own group.
- Your full attention must remain on the children under your direct supervision.
- Teachers should be strategically spaced throughout the playground to minimize blind spots. Do not cluster in one area—ensure all sides of the playground are covered.
- If you are supervising alone, you are expected to actively move around the playground to maintain visibility of all children.

-
Toy Sanitization Expectations
-
To maintain a clean and safe classroom environment, please follow the toy sanitization schedule below:
- Each classroom must send down three buckets of toys per day for sanitization.
- All toys in your classroom should be rotated through sanitization at least once per week.
- Do not send magnetic tiles or wooden toys for sanitization.
