Guests in the Building and Safety
• We LOVE parents on our campus. For safety reasons,
we do NOT allow anyone to free roam in our building
unless they’re on staff.
• Please deliver and wait for your child to be exchanged
at our round about/front entry.
• However, there are many times we welcome guests, and
we’d love to have you on our campus at those times.
• Only biological parents will have automatic access to
their children. You may come to our school at anytime.
If you want additional people to pick up your child, their
names must be added to the Registration Card. They
will have to show a state issued, photo ID to pick up
your child.
• If custody issues ensue, we will follow court orders. We
must have a copy on file.
5
What to NOT Send to SFOL!
Please do not send any of the following items with your child at
any time as these things pose major safety issues and
academic distractions.
• Toys
• Coins
• Hats
• Costume masks
• Rocks
• Purses
• Capes
• Shoes that have squeakers or make animal noises
• Crocs
• Flip flops
• Backpacks
We highly recommend that you do not send your child in expensive or one-of a
kind outfits! We get messy when we eat, paint almost daily, and participate in fun
science experiments and outdoor activities.
We prefer NO BOWS!
Most children remove them throughout the day and place them in the strangest
places. If a bow goes missing, please notify your child’s teacher, or an Admin staff
member, a description of the missing bow so we may look for it once pick up is
over. We will Group Me you if we find the bow.

7Christmas Program
This year’s Christmas Pageant will be

9“Vacation” Time at Strawberry Fields
It’s hard to believe that the holidays are already upon us!
Please see the guidelines below regarding our “vacation” policy at Strawberry Fields.
As stated in our Policy Handbook on the Holidays page, tuition is due in full during the
holiday weeks; however, “vacation” time is granted after 6 months and 12 months in
attendance.
To take 1 “vacation” week for Thanksgiving:
• Your child MUST have been enrolled PRIOR to May 22, 2021, to take one week
“vacation”.
• This means that your child does NOT attend and you do NOT pay tuition for one week.
To take 2 “vacation” weeks for Thanksgiving:
• Your child MUST have been enrolled PRIOR to November 23, 2020, to take two weeks
“vacation”.
• This means that your child does NOT attend and you do NOT pay tuition for two weeks.
To take 1 “vacation” week for Christmas:
• Your child MUST have been enrolled PRIOR to June 21, 2021, to take one week
“vacation”.
• This means that your child does NOT attend and you do NOT pay tuition for two weeks.
To take 2 weeks “vacation” for Christmas:
• Your child MUST have been enrolled PRIOR to December 25, 2020, to take two weeks
“vacation”.
• This means that your child does NOT attend and you do NOT pay tuition for two weeks.
****Please check with Erin in accounting (erin@teachbig.com) if you’re unsure, or if you’ve
already used vacation time in the past.
Enjoy your holidays with your families!!!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
10Breakfast, Snacks, Lunch

• Lunch is included for Pre-Rotation and Lower Rotation only.
• Pre-rotation, Rotation, and AP Kindergarten have the option of bringing
their lunch or purchasing a hot lunch from us for $20 a week.
• If your child will be bringing his/her lunch, but would like pizza on Fridays, it
will be $20 per month.

-If your child prefers something else, please send a snack for them each day in a
disposable bag/container with their name labeled on the front.
11Meet the Teacher
-Always held on the Sunday before the first
day of school from 2-4 PM.
-Take a look around our campus.
-Come and go

12Ways we
Communicate
-Group Me App (This is our primary method of communication)
-Notes sent home from child’s folder.
-Parent teacher conferences (available upon request)
13*This is our PRIMARY method of communication!
*This is also where we post pictures so that you can see the great activities in which your child
participates!
You can download the Group Me app from the App Store, Play Store and Windows Phone Store. If
you’re on a desktop, you can use the web version of Group Me instead.
To set up Group Me:
Enter your Facebook details, Microsoft Account, Google Account, phone number or email address,
and then tap Continue.
Enter your name, set an avatar (profile photo) and create a password.
Check the box to indicate that you agree to the Terms of Service.
Check the box if you want to sync your contacts to Group Me, then tap Continue.
Once we add your number to our groups a group chat icon will show up in your chats feed.
**If you need any help you can always ask a member of Admin and they can help you out.
How we use Group Me:
• Turn ON notifications or check each day.
• We post during nap, lunch, before school, and after school.
• Not all students are posted each day, but everyone will get posted at least
once a week.
• If you want to ask a teacher a question that pertains only to your child, please
do so through a private Group Me message, not a whole group posting-too
much traffic. i.e.– can’t find a piece of a nap mat or a lid to a Tupperware
container in their lunchbox-not everyone needs to know that.
• Please use discretion when posting illness information publicly, as not to alarm
others.
• To discuss concerns, please feel free to contact a member of Admin.
14Illness/Weather Events
***WE ARE A PEANUT AND TREE NUT FREE FACILITY***
Fever free for 24 hours (without medication)
100.4 is when we call you
2 throw-ups
3 runny diarrheas
Overly lethargic
We report school closings to KHOU, Channel 11 News.
We follow CCISD school closure times/dates due to weather or national
disasters.
We will send out Group Me messages for all weather events.
In the event of an evacuation, our students will be taken to the large grey
building next door.
Medicine will only be dispensed to the child whose name is on the bottle/box.
A parent must fill out a form in the medical log in the front foyer.
15Discipline of Children
(12 months to 18 months)
If a child bites, scratches, or hits another child, the teacher will redirect
that child away from the child he or she hurt. The teacher will use kind
words to talk to both children about how we treat and love our friends.
(18 months – 2 ½ or 3 years of age)
Any child who bites, scratches, or hits another child will be removed from
the situation. The teacher will have a conversation with the child on how
we are nice to our friends, and that we do not hurt our friends. The child
will then be redirected to another activity.
Positive Reinforcement
Strawberry Fields of Learning uses positive reinforcement as the primary
way to promote desired behavior.
If a child consistently hurts others, and parents do not acknowledge or
actively help to resolve the situation, we will ask the student to leave
SFOL.

Instead of...Say
This year, we will have the motto...a Culture of
Compliments! In other words, we want to focus primarily
on the positive and great things that we all do every day!
One of the puzzle pieces to make this positive, is the way
our own children speak and think of themselves and their
abilities. We want to empower students to make good
decisions and to realize how important they really are.
Therefore, below you will find a list of statements/actions
that we will be consistently redirecting. Please help us at
home by reminding your children of these positive phrases
and expectations at Strawberry Fields!!
Instead of “I can’t”- say “I need a little help”
Instead of interrupting - say “excuse me”
Instead of “It’s mine” - say “let’s share”
Instead of “They made me do it”- say “I did it because…”
33Talents and Careers
