Co-oping Day Substitute
Unfortunately, the cold and flu season is here. We understand that it can be difficult to get coverage on your co-op day when you or your child are sick. We'll be discussing additional options at our board meeting in January, meanwhile, here is a a gentle reminder about our policy for co-op days that have not been covered. Thank you for helping us keep Bunker Hill the magical place that it is. Please let us know if you have any questions.
"In case of illness or absence of the Classroom Volunteer, every family is expected to find a substitute to cover their job tag. Classroom Volunteers are responsible for finding their own coverage, and BHPPNS does not facilitate swaps.
Families are encouraged to message the Konstella thread, text, or email other families in their class. If this is unsuccessful, families can contact the general membership through the All Classes group on Konstella or call fellow classmates directly. It is recommended that Classroom Volunteers using a substitute either pay a $50 sub fee or offer to work a co-oping Day for the person substituting. If you are unable to find a substitute, please email the Director and classroom teachers before your assigned co-oping Day. Classroom Volunteers who miss a co-oping day must make up the school's hours in special projects outlined on Konstella or assigned by the Director or Membership VP."
Extra Clothes
If you have any clothes that your child's outgrown that you're willing to part with, we'd love to have them at school. We would like to start a collection of clothes to have available in case a child needs a change of clothes and doesn't have any available in their cubby.
