Happy New Year

Accounting:

Annual Registration fees and 2016 Volunteer hours not completed were billed to your account on January 1st. For your convenience these fees are due by March 1st.  Volunteer hours were only billed if you did not complete your 10 volunteer hours by December 31st.

Many of you have small credits or balances on your account. In January you will receive a  "Statement" instead of an invoice. This statement  gives the total amount due on your account through January. Our goal is to get everyone to a "0" balance to start off the new year.

On January 31st we will send out year end statements that can be used for tax purposes. Please watch for these in your email.

Immunizations

We are in the final stages of completing our annual review of immunization records. 
Tera has already notified you if your child does not have the required immunizations or non medical exemption certificate. You have until January 11th to complete the process. You can review Growing Trees Immunization Rates on our website under Contact Us > Forms.

 Inclement Weather/Emergency Closure Policy

December allowed us to put in to action our Weather/Emergency procedure on several occasions. If you did not receive an email notification from Growing Tree regarding the  Center being opened or closed  please notify the front desk immediately so that we may add you to our email list. 

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 be open as usual.  
  • If we need to close the center because of weather or an emergency, we will contact you first via 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
