Clyde’s Corner | May 2024

Ladies, we are entering our 5th month of operation!  🥳 We could not do this with out the team we have built here! Thank you so much for your time, patience, and dedication you all have brought to the Barn! ♥️

Monthly Updates | Reminders:

1. There has been a few adjustments to room layouts! Be sure to visit Ducklings & Porcupettes to see their make overs!
2. Story Time with the Librarian was AWESOME & will take place on the first Monday of every month!
3. Lamination Bin – anything you need laminated but don’t have time to do it, stick it in the bin and label when you need it and what classroom. This will be checked weekly!
4. Playgrounds should be cleaned up after every use before coming in, just like your classrooms should be picked up before you go out.
5. Red Medication Bags – should always be accessible. We strongly encourage you to wear it at all times, even if it is empty. Kids will move up with medication and it needs to be easily accessible from anywhere at anytime.
6. Blackout Days on the employee calendar means NO more requests off. Either too many staff members have already requested off or no requests off will be granted that day. Please check the staff portal calendar for these blackout dates prior to requesting or booking anything.
