A few friendly reminders …….
Illness Policy Reminder:
Our parents are vital partners in helping us to maintain a safe and healthy environment for the students in our school. The most important thing you can do to assist us in creating a healthy environment is to keep your child home if they are ill. This reduces the spread of illness and allows your child to fully recuperate. Children may not attend school until they have been symptom free for 72 hours if they display any of the following:
Please refer to our Merryhill Family Handbook for details about our Illness and Medication Policy
Parking Lot Safety
Because the safety of our children is of paramount concern to us, we require all parents to adhere to the following rules of the road while on campus:
- There is a 5 miles per hour speed limit at all times while on school property.
- Park in designated parking spaces only.
- While on school grounds, pedestrians always have the right of way.

Tuition Policy Reminder:
Tuition is due no later than Tuesday of each week. Late fee charge will be assessed at that time and should be included in your payment. Tuition is continuous throughout the year. There are no deductions in tuition for absences, illness, or the holidays that are observed throughout the year. Each child is entitled to one week of vacation credit for each school year after attending school for six months. Requests for vacation credit must be presented in writing to the office at least two weeks in advance.
- Sign up for our Automatic Payment Program and avoid late fee charges via your parent portal, ALMA! You can also use this portal to submit payments via credit card.

On Fridays, you must take blankets and sheets home to be laundered and return them on Mondays. Please check your child’s cubby everyday for soiled clothing or other items that may need to be taken home. Please also make sure all items are clearly marked with your child’s name (clothing, sheets, blankets, sweaters and jackets, towels and bathing suits, etc.).

February News Letter
Dear Merryhill Families,
February known as the month of love and friendship and we will take the opportunity to encourage friendship, love, and appreciation to all our students and families. We believe that love extends farther than the love we have for our friends and family as it can extend to those we don’t know and to those in need. Our students will be learning about different ways to help others, and we encourage them to show kindness and appreciation to all.
And speaking of love and appreciation….. we consider ourselves so blessed to have the chance to get to know each of you and to care for your little ones. We cherish the time we get to spend with the children in our school and that would not be possible without the trust and kindness of our families. You all truly make a difference in each of our lives!
This month we will also incorporate activities that include learning about our Presidents and the role they play in our daily lives. The month of February brings multiple opportunities for us to incorporate the community, family, and school to create a wonderful learning environment. We will celebrate Black History Month through song, reading, and hands on activities. We will also teach the children how to care for their hearts and teeth in honor of American Heart and Dental Health Month.
Alexis Montantes
Principal
