Policies and Forms for 2024-2025
Guide to Parent’s Rights
Immunizations – The Texas Department of Health and Human Services requires us to have a current record of your child’s immunizations on file at Council Oak Preschool by the first day of school. A signature of their personal physician, health care clinic, or stamp is required on the form.
If your child has not been vaccinated or is on a delayed immunization schedule, we must have one of these two affidavits on file before we can accept your child into our care:
An affidavit signed by a physician stating that the immunization poses a significant risk to the child or a member of the child’s family or household.
An affidavit signed by the parent or guardian stating the immunization is declined for reasons of conscience.
We require staff to have standard immunizations unless an employee is exempt.
Vision and Hearing Screening – The Texas Department of Health and Human Services requires screening of all children 4 & 5 years of age for hearing and vision problems. This will be offered during the school year at a minimal charge. If you do not participate in this screening, it will be your responsibility to obtain it elsewhere and bring your screening results to the Preschool office.
Biting – If a bite happens more than once a school day, parents will be called to pick up the child at their earliest convenience. If three bites happen in a week, the child will be asked to take a two-week break from the preschool. Council Oak Preschool reserves the right to ask a child to leave the program if the biting continues after a two-week break to protect the physical safety of the other children. Each case will be handled on an individual basis.
Bad Weather Policy
We follow Round Rock ISD and their decisions. Should Round Rock ISD close school for inclement weather, COP will be closed. If the district offers a 2-hour delay, COP will begin at 10:30 am with dismissal at our normal 2:00 time. We also remain apprised of the changing weather conditions through our National Weather Service Radio.
Please tune in to one of the local radio or television stations and check the preschool website for current school information should bad weather occur.
When Round Rock School District dismisses early due to bad weather, we will close early as well. All families will be called if this occurs.
Emergency Release
In the event an emergency affects a child, every attempt will be made to contact their parent or guardian. Should an emergency occur and a parent cannot be reached an emergency release form for each child, signed by their parent, is kept on file. This release states that a doctor may administer any necessary treatment should an emergency occur.
