You prepared the children lunch which consisted of chicken nuggets, cabbage, sweet potatoes, cornbread, bananas, water, and milk. Food service was monitored and found to be in compliance.

Complete the ITS-SIDS training again no more than 3 years from the completion of previous ITS-SIDS training. Water and Lead Testing: Facilities should have been enrolled before May 1, 2024. State funds for mitigation are available through 2026, however, funds are limited so we recommend enrolling as soon as possible. You can work through the program in the way that works best for your facility. A few tips: • All three section enrollment surveys (lead in water, lead-based paint, and asbestos) must be completed by May 1, 2024 • Work on the enrollment surveys one section at a time to prevent duplicate data entry • Complete the enrollment for the asbestos section and the lead-based-paint section close together. They have similar questions, and if onsite visits are needed, they can be coordinated across these two program sections. •You can enroll multiple facilities from your dashboard by selecting “Enroll a New Facility”. As we discussed today, the previous water testing, conducted on September 13, 2022, is valid for three (3) years. Please ensure that your facility is registered for lead-based paint and asbestos. Please send a copy of your results to me, once this process is complete. You are currently in the process of enrolling your facility in the Clean Classroom for Kids for lead in water, lead-based paint, and asbestos testing. Workforce Education Unit: Today we discussed submitting your education to WORKS. I provided you with your most recent WORKS Status Letter dated July 2010. Below is the link to WORKS which provides instructions for submission of the education courses you have taken since 2010. https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/Portals/0/documents/pdf/O/Official_Hard_Copy_Electronic_Transcript_Submission_Process-May_2023.pdf?ver=NubgP6zClMNdJNHCyJjd4Q%3d%3d QRIS update: Get ready for the 3s Starting on February 1, 2025, the ECERS-3, ITERS-3, and FCCERS-3—also known as the "3s"—will be used for DCDEE environment rating scale assessments.
