Family Connection
Bobbie-Mart Holiday Hours
Starting on December 4, the parent store will be open EVERY Wednesday until Christmas; with the exception of December 11. Due to our agency wide staff meeting, the store will be opening on Tuesday, December 10 of that week.
The December hours will be 9 am to 4 pm.
If you have any questions, please let Bobbie know.
Vital Records
Please keep these for your families, especially as we get closer to the end of the year and parents begin needing birth certificates, etc. This is also a good tool if they need things like marriage, divorce, or death certificates.
It includes the cost, the address to send the request to, and some information about how to obtain that specific item.
Parent Education
I do ask two things of you: If you use a good resource that you did not obtain from me, please send me a copy to put at our main office in case someone else could utilize it. The second, not so optional item is, if you want to search for your own information related to health for a parent, I ask that you only use the CDC or Mayo Clinic websites. I feel that the information there is reliable and non-bias. If you do want to use another source, please let me review it first.
Breastfeeding Education
If you think that may be something your centers would be interested in, please let me know and I'll see if we can get her scheduled for a visit.
Hemoglobins
Camp Joy - December 9
Tazewell - December 16
Richlands (including Shirleen's Home Based) - December 12
Raven - December 6
EHS (Center and Home Based) - December 10*
If there is some reason that these dates do not work for your center, please let me know as soon as possible. I know that during December, the classrooms plan a lot of festivities, this schedule can be altered or even moved to January, but I need to know ahead of time.
And if your center doesn't have any needed Hemoglobins, please let me know before I get there.
*EHS, I plan on doing some of these, if necessary, at the parent meeting and the center.
