For both the St. Anthony and Blaine sites, please email pictures and completed yearbook questions to sergior@jackandjilledu.com.
Please find below a form for you to fill out together with your child. The answers on this form will be included in the yearbook on your child's page.
It's Graduation Day!
Graduation Day is always exciting and a day our children and families look forward to! Graduation will be held by your child’s current classroom POD.
Jack & Jill will provide graduation caps and gowns for the ceremony. Please plan to dress your child for the occasion. Your child’s complete center portfolio will be presented to you along with a Pre-Kindergarten Yearbook. Pre-Kindergarten Graduation is a precious memory that is not to be missed.

Sunscreen
Weather permitting, children go outside to play & exercise twice daily. Our babies go outside daily once they are age appropriately able to be in a stroller. Please assist us to keep your child protected from the sun.
Parents, please apply the first layer of sunscreen in the morning, prior to drop off. (We will apply a second layer after rest time, prior to going outside.)
Please bring in a bottle of lotion style sunscreen for your child, labeled with their first and last name.
When purchasing, please check the label to ensure that the product is peanuts/tree nut free, especially almond oil which can be a common ingredient in natural sunscreens.
Remember that public health regulations do not permit the use of aerosol sprays in the program so sunscreen must be lotion style.
Please dress your child for the weather! Sun hats are excellent-especially for the younger children.
For any families that may not have authorized sunscreen use on their children during their initial enrollment, you will need to re-fill out this form marking that sunscreen is authorized to be used on your child.
Summer Shoes
All children must wear closed toed shoes and socks to school daily. We also ask that children do not wear croc style shoes. We have found children wearing crocs and flip flops often trip and fall because the shoes do not stay on correctly. Children’s feet also become easily irritated by the woodchips when not wearing socks. Thank you for understanding and help to keep our kids safe and comfortable this summer.
Clothes Exchange
Please be sure to send extra clothing for your child to school that are the correct size and seasonally appropriate. We will be sending home any clothes currently in your child’s locker that may no longer fit and are not seasonally appropriate.
We appreciate your continued support.
