Current Family FAQs

What should I do if I can’t attend the Meet the Teacher class visit with my child?

You are not alone! We recommend that you watch the class Welcome Video with your child. You may ask questions using the classroom email, and teachers will be making welcoming phone calls in the first few weeks of school, as well.

 

Do I need to purchase a rest mat?

Children in Twos, Threes, PreK, and Kaleidoscope TK classes must have an approved plastic, fire-retardant rest mat. Due to Licensing regulations and storage limitations, cloth mats and sleeping bags are not allowed.

Mats are provided for children in our Infant and Toddler classrooms.

 

My child is in a Twos, Threes, or PreK class. When will they receive their St. Luke’s School Bag?

SLDS School Bags will be distributed at the Meet the Teacher or on the child’s first day of school. Remember that backpacks, totes, and rolling luggage bags are not allowed due to space limitations.

 

We are applying to another school next year and need a teacher recommendation. What is the process?

Teacher recommendation forms are handled by our Registrar, Haylea Nguyen. We have a process for handing your request, and you can find more information on the Parent Portal. 

 

How do I add someone to my authorized pick-up list?

You will need to fill out the Authorization to Pick Up form, which can be found on the Parent Portal by clicking the Parent Resources tab. Once complete, submit the form using the button.

 

How can I get more colored identification tags?

Please stop by the Welcome Desk with your ID and we will be happy to help you.

 

How do I become a registered volunteer for SLDS?

Our Parent Advisory Council (PAC) has a wide range of volunteer opportunities available. A background check is required for any adult volunteering with children. You can find the Volunteer Interest Form and Background Check Request on the Parent Portal by clicking the Volunteers tab.
