6. All enrolled Rush Nursery School students need to provide a health and immunization form by the first day of school. This form must be completed by your doctor and is required by law. Therefore, no child may attend RNS unless these records are on file with our school.

7. Attendance by at least one parent of each enrolled child is required at our parent orientation meeting on August 24, 2026. At this meeting parents will meet their child’s teacher, learn RNS policies, receive class lists and handbooks and hand in health and immunization forms. A personal information form and permission forms will be passed out to be completed and returned to your teacher by the first day of class.

8. All important paper work and announcements will be going home via email. Please make sure to check your email on a regular basis for updates and important news from Rush Nursery School. If you wish to receive paper copies in the mail, please contact the registrar at rnsregistrar@gmail.com.
