Immunizations
We are in the final stages of completing our annual review of immunization records.
Teresa or myself have already notified you if your child does not have the required immunizations or non medical exemption certificate. You have until January 12th to complete the process. You can review Growing Trees Immunization Rates by clicking the link at the top of the newsletter.
Inclement Weather/Emergency Closure Policy
For your review our Inclement Weather/Emergency Closure Policy.
- Growing Tree does NOT follow the public school schedule for snow/weather days or 2-hour delays. It is our goal to remain open as usual.
- On these days when the public schools have closures I do try to send out an early email/text confirming our status
- If we need to close the center because of weather or an emergency, we will contact you first via text/email and then post closure information on Facebook.
- In the event of an emergency, if the situation allows we will the contact you via phone.
Please friend us on Facebook so that you may receive notifications of all the happenings at Growing Tree: https://www.facebook.com/growing.tree.bend
