Arriving and Leaving School
Upon entering the church parking lot, park near the fence at the top of the play yard, east of the church main entrance. Enter through the gate and proceed down the path to the modular building. A staff member will monitor the gate upon arrival and departure.
Once at the classroom door, a staff member will escort your child into class.
Monitored gate/doors will open 10 minutes prior to start time for arrival.
Transportation
Parents provide transportation for their child. At the beginning of the school year, a directory of names, addresses and phone numbers is published to assist in arranging carpools as desired. This is a voluntary arrangement between parents. For your child’s safety, he/she will only be released to a parent or individuals designated as “Authorized to Pick Up” on the registration form. Please notify your child’s teacher of any changes in your routine.
Dress to Participate
Please have your child dress to participate fully in all the activities of each school day.
Closed toe shoes are advised. To help children step towards independence, please have them wear clothing that they can manage by themselves in the restroom and in preparing to go outside. Please label all coats, sweaters and hats with your child’s first and last names.
Because accidents do happen, paint spills, mud, potty accidents, we ask that you provide a change of clothing including shirt, pants, socks and underwear for your child. Please place items in a ziplock bag with your child’s name on it and bring on the first day of school.

Health and Safety
Your child’s health is a matter of major importance to all of us. The medical information portion of the registration form must be filled out. Your child must have the standard immunizations required by the State of Oregon.
Please be sure your child has enough rest and a nutritious breakfast before coming to school. This will make his/her day more pleasant and productive. If your child has run a fever or vomited within the last 24 hours he/she may not come to school. If a fever or other illness develops at school, we will call a parent to pick up the child. If your child is diagnosed as having or being a carrier of a child care-restrict able disease as defined in OAR 333-019-0010 please contact the school office so that teachers and other parents can stay informed.
Handwashing Procedure used at Our Redeemer: 1. Wet hands with clean, running water
2. Apply soap 3. Lather hands by rubbing them together with the soap, lathering back of hands and between fingers and under nails 4. Scrub hands for at least 20 seconds (suggestion: Sing Happy Birthday song from beginning to end twice) 5. Rinse hands well for at least 10 seconds under clean, running water 6. Dry hands using a clean towel, or air dry.
The more regular your child’s attendance the more smoothly he/she will make the adjustment to school. Regular attendance will also contribute to your child’s school success. If your child is sick please notify your child’s teacher by phone or text. We miss children who are absent and would like to remember them in our prayers.
An EPI Pen provided by the parent, labeled with the child’s name, may be left with your child’s teacher. Parents are responsible to provide training to their child’s teacher on the use of the EPI Pen.
In case of illness or accidental injury, we will make an immediate attempt to contact a parent. If we cannot reach you, we will call one of your emergency contacts. If necessary we will also call an ambulance or the paramedics, the child may be transported to Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center, 19300 SW 65th Ave, Tualatin, OR 97062, 503-692-1212.
Until the arrival of a parent or emergency medical personnel, the director and/or teacher will be in charge and make all decisions about the care of the child. It is for your child’s benefit that phone numbers, emergency numbers and other pertinent information stay updated with the office.
Snack Time/Lunch Time
The children enjoy a snack time together each school day. At snack time we can thank God for our daily provisions and teach good table manners. Your child will bring his/her own snack for the day in a lunch box or bag with his/her name on it. Please notify your child’s teacher if your child has any food allergies. Because of the prevalence of food allergies, Our Redeemer is a nut-free school. Thanks for your co-operation.
Please provide a simple, nutritious, low-sugar snack. Some suggestions include crackers, cheese, fresh or dried fruit, vegetables, etc. The children receive water with their snack.
Pre-K and 4’s Extended Day children will bring a sack lunch from home each school day. Please label all containers with the child’s name. All perishable food will be refrigerated if needed.
Birthdays
The birthday of each child of God is cause for celebration. On the school day closest to his/her birthday each child is scheduled to bring a snack for the whole class, check the class calendar provided by the teacher. Children with summer birthdays will also have the opportunity to celebrate with their friends. Suggestions for birthday snacks include pudding cups, ice-cream or juice bars, cookies, etc.
The Oregon Health Department requires that all food items be store bought and in unopened packages. No homemade or home prepared foods are served for snacks.
Birthday snacks need to be nut-free.
Celebrations
Class celebrations are planned for Harvest, Christmas and Valentine’s Day. Parents are needed to coordinate with the teachers to plan these special events. Please let your child’s teacher know if you are available to help.
