The Tailwind

A Note From Ms. Trish

Our fall registration is now open to new families! There is still room on our roster for most classes. Don't miss out... Playday isn't Playday without you!

The staff is currently training on our ProCare App! We look forward to this new way of additional communication and have begun launching it school wide. If you have not received an invitation to join (the email is FROM PROCARE, not Playday), please let the office know so that we can resend. ****Please note: after you have signed up for ProCare, you also must download the ProCare App on your phone. We now are asking parents to sign in using the QR code at your child's classroom door.

****You may sign your child in to class while you are waiting in the Atrium using the QR code on the doors. This will save time and congestion at the classrooms.

Chapel Time This Week

Calling The Disciples

Weather Cancelation policy:

If Allen Independent School District (AISD) closes due to inclement weather, Playday will also be closed. If AISD opens an hour late, Playday will open at 10:00 AM. If AISD delays 2 hours, Playday will be closed. Due to staffing and building restrictions that are set at the beginning of the school year, we are unable to make up bad weather days. If it is necessary to dismiss early because of inclement weather, or other reasons, the remainder of that day will not be made up. Parents will be notified by phone, text, or email if we dismiss early. No refunds will be given if Playday is closed due to unavoidable circumstances, including weather.

You will be notified via email as soon as the decision is made to close. We will also post on our Instagram and Facebook pages.
