Parent Morning Routine
Drop off Routine: Before you arrive, please log into Life Cubby. Tap the Menu Box, and then tap on Morning Intake. Tap on your child’s photo and let us know about meals, sleep or other important information.. Remember to tap OK when you are finished. Teachers may enter this information when you arrive into their tablet as well. 
Make sure your child has their supplies, and let your child’s teacher know your child is ready for you to leave.  Say goodbye, and remember, they only cry for a few minutes and are easily distracted once you are gone.
