New Day Schools Teacher to Parent Resources
This portion of the website is dedicated to
materials provided by staff members that inform our participating members
of values, parenting methods, health and safety practices, special needs
services, and positive activities, that are pertinent to the classroom
experience that New Day School works hard to foster. The materials are here
for anyone in our community to peruse. They are not mandatory reading
by any means and do not represent expected behavior or practices. They are
here for the school's families to use as they see fit.
