• Please make sure your child has a clean change of summer clothing available in his/her cubby.
• Please label your child’s clothing (coats, jackets, hoodies and sweaters…even shoes). Talk to your child about the label and explain that other children may have the same type of clothing. Help us minimize clothing going home with the wrong child. Writing on the size tag with a permanent marker is the easiest and most inexpensive way of labeling your child’s clothing.
