Attendance is taken. We strongly encourage you to begin the good habit of promptness by avoiding tardy arrivals and making school a priority for your child. Please call the school if your child must be absent.
Classes begin promptly at 8:30 a.m. Licensing regulations require parents of three and four year olds to sign their first and last name on a check-in/check-out sheet daily. Please remember to sign your child in and out upon arrival and departure.
The Preschool-Kindergarten Program ends at 2:30 p.m. Please park your car and come in to pick your child up at 2:30 each day. Please let the teacher know in writing if someone else will be picking up your child. Identification will be requested from anyone unknown to the teacher.

Lunch:

Please send a healthy, low sugar, non-processed lunch with your child. We suggest: 1 meat or protein, 1 dairy, 1 bread component, 1 fruit and 1 vegetable, including 100% fruit juice (no pop or candy). Because of a limit on refrigeration space, lunches will not be refrigerated. An ice pack must be included in every lunch box to keep food from spoiling.

Snack:

St. Luke's School will provide a nutritious, morning snack. Please make us aware if your child has any food allergies.

Birthdays:

On your child's special day we will sing "Happy Birthday" and your child will receive a special birthday crown. If you would like to send in a special snack let your teacher know. We cannot have birthday parties at school.

Sharing Time:

Items of special interest to your child (fall leaves, insects, seashells, feathers, items from nature), items of educational or cultural value, or items pertaining to what is currently being studied may be shared at school. Toys are not appropriate items for sharing.

Naps:

Arizona State Licensing requires a supervised nap or rest period during the day for preschool age children. A mat will be provided. Please bring in a labeled towel or blanket for your child. It will be sent home to be laundered each Friday.

When field trips are planned, parents will be notified in writing. A permission slip will need to be signed. Parents would be asked to transport their children to and from the field trip, as the school has no transportation.
