COVID-19 
Covid-19 regulations and guidelines provided by the State of Connecticut and the Office of Early Childhood (OEC) will be strictly enforced to ensure the safety of students and their families, teachers and their families.

As per OEC guidelines, masks are not required, but a child may wear one if the family prefers. 

As outlined by the CDC, hand washing is one of the best safeguards for mitigating Covid-19. Therefore, throughout the day, students and teachers will hand wash, as well as, increase daily cleaning measures as also outlined by the CDC and OEC.

​
Please complete the Daily Home Covid-19 Screening for Students each morning before school. Check to ensure temperature is below 100 degrees and observe for symptoms associated with Covid-19, as outlined by the Public Health Office. Students MUST stay home if they are feeling sick, have any symptoms consistent with Covid-19, or have had close contact with a person that has been diagnosed. 

What to bring to school?
Please have your child bring a lunch, a snack, an extra mask, and a change of clothes. In the winter months, please bring snow pants and boots. Each child has their own cubby that holds their belongings. 

Please be aware when sending students to school that they will be playing, climbing, painting, and getting dirty outside everyday. Please have students dress accordingly.  

Snack and Lunch
Please pack a snack, a separate lunch, and water bottle everyday. Ice Packs in both are required.  Please inform teachers, if your child has food restrictions. 

Nut-free Policy
KECNS is an allergy-aware facility.  Please do not bring any products containing peanuts or Tree Nuts. Thank you for helping keep our children safe.

Communication
Communication is the key to our family-school relationship. In addition to a cubby, each child has their own mailbox, which holds their artwork, projects and any notices being sent home.  We send home printed daily sheets called "All About My Day" and a monthly newsletter. Teachers can always be reached via email or by phone.  

Cellphone Policy
Personal cellphones may not be used by KECNS teachers during working hours with children. KECNS teachers and staff are allowed to take occasional photos of KECNS activities and children during special occasions, provided families have granted permission on the Use of Photos form (see forms below).
