Inclement Weather

For your review, prior to the weather going south, our Inclement Weather/Emergency Closure Policy is as follows:  

Inclement Weather/Emergency Closure Policy

For your review, prior to the weather going south, our Inclement Weather/Emergency Closure Policy is as follows:  

  • 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  

Dressing for the Weather

Winter will arrive this month. We have found that storing your child's winter gear in a reusable bag that can be hung in their cubby minimizes the chances of misplaced items and enables your child to take care of their own clothes.
Please make sure your child has:

  • A complete change of weather appropriate clothes in their cubby always (please label all items)
  • A jacket to wear as needed
  • Hat & gloves ( we recommend 2 pair of gloves please)
  • Boots & snowsuits
  • PS: Teachers appreciate clothes that are labeled
  • PSS: We have reusable bags for sale at the front desk for $5
