Director's Message
Happy February Happy Hall - Lomita Park Families!! I hope everyone has been doing well and keeping warm in these unprecedented weather conditions! Given the fluctuation in weather, as a precautionary measure we ask if families can supply extra clothing in the event any clothes get wet or need to be changed. We look forward to the fun activities we have planned with the kids this month and can’t wait for them to share their creations and experiences with you!

Reminders
Closed February 17, 2025 – President’s Day
Please send us an email whenever your child(ren) will not be attending the after school program (lomitapark@happyhall.com). This way we know they will not be joining us for Happy Hall. In the event we do not receive notification, we will follow up with a phone call home to inquire about their whereabouts, to ensure they are safe. In addition, if we do not know that your child will be absent and we do not receive notification, after 7 unexcused absences, students will be removed from the program.
For AM care, students should only arrive between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:30 am. In addition, students who arrive after 7:30 am are marked late; after 7 late arrivals students will be removed from that program specifically, but would still be able to attend the after school program if they are enrolled there as well. For families arriving late, please be sure to fill out the form we have on site and if it is an excusable reason, it will be excused.
If you ever need to pick up your student early, please ensure you are signing the early pickup form, which is located at the sign-out cart in the MUR. If it is not there, please make sure to ask a staff member to grab it for you. As a reminder, if students are picked up early 7 times without this document being filled in, they will be removed from the program as well.
If you wish for your child to walk home, you must complete our Walk-Home Authorization Form. This form must be completed for each student. If you need any assistance or have any questions, please reach out to us and we will be happy to help you!
