Please call the school at 540-338-3956 to report absences or schedule changes.
Preschool Age Children
The NLC requires that parents notify the NLC by 10:00 am if a child will be absent for the day unless prior arrangements have been made. For children attending fewer than 5 days per week, prior authorization from the Director is required for any schedule changes.
After School Schedule Changes
Parents of school-age children are responsible for notifying the NLC if their child’s schedule changes, including if he or she is out sick. You must notify the NLC by 1:00 pm if a child will not be attending after school care that day. If the NLC has not had prior notification from the parent, the staff member who is picking up the child at the school will wait at the school until the school confirms the child’s absence or that the child took an alternative mode of transportation.
Families who regularly fail to notify the NLC that their child will not be attending on a scheduled day of attendance may be charged a $20 fee per incident.
