Weekly Reminder

Good morning MCDC families!  Just a few reminders:

• We are partnering with Scholastic Books for a Pajama Drive! For every pair of pajamas donated, Scholastic Book Clubs will donate a brand-new book to Pajama Program to give to kids who are affected by instability. Pajamas need to be full sets and in any size birth through adult, any season.  Pajamas can be turned in to the large box in the front lobby by November 22nd.   

• If you had your child’s portraits done by Spoiled Rotten Photography, you should have received an email with your proofs.  Orders are due by November 22nd.

• You will find a sign-up sheet in your child’s classroom for next week, the week of Thanksgiving.  We are closed on Thursday November 28th.  Please mark on the sheet any other days that week that your child will be absent next week.  We gather this information to assist us with scheduling our staff.  Please do not feel obligated to keep your child home.  We will be taking up the sheets by Wednesday of this week.

• We need your feedback!  We rely heavily on our annual parent survey to make improvements to our center and praise accomplishments. 

We ask that you fill out the surveys below.  One link is for the center, and the other link is for your child’s teachers.  Please fill out one caregiver survey per teacher that your child has had this year. 

We would like these to be completed by November 29, 2019.

Thank you so much for your participation!!

• Our annual Thanksgiving Lunch will be held on Thursday November 21st  at 11:00am.  MCDC will provide Turkey, Drinks and Paper Products.  We ask families to sign up for side dishes and desserts.  There is a signup sheet available on the front desk right as you walk in.  Please indicate how many ADULTS will be in attendance and what you plan on bringing.  Friends and family are welcome!  Please sign up no later than Tuesday.  OR you can email me by Tuesday.

We do not have the capacity to store any cold items or heat any items that you will be bringing.  Please either bring your items with you when you arrive, or have something to keep them cold or hot.  Please also provide serving utensils.  You may pick up your dishes as soon as the luncheon is over. 

The children will be served lunch from the kitchen as they normally are and will be eating in the classrooms.  Please do not go into the classrooms before visiting the cafeteria to fix your plate.  Please first fix your plate and then join your child in their classrooms. You do not need to get any food for your child.  However, we know your child may want a bite of something off of your plate, but please remember to not let any of the other children (that are not yours) eat anything from the cafeteria.  We have several children with severe food allergies.  Creeper parents: as your children are usually asleep during this time, we will have several tables set up in the multi-purpose room for you.  We would still like you to join us for lunch! 

Please use the medical center parking lot for overflow parking during this event.  Do not park on the curb or in the grass.  Please let me know if you have any questions!
