THIRD OFFENSE: Referral written and parents/guardians will be contacted
NOTE: Three written minor referrals or one major referral will result in a suspension and/or dismissal from the program for the remainder of the school year.
Electronic Device Policy: The electronic device policy is consistent with the school policy, therefore, cell phones, gaming devices, or other electronics are not to be used during a child’s time in the before or after-care program. All devices must stay in a child’s backpack. We request that toys, games, and any electronic devices be left at home as our school will not be held responsible for missing, damaged, or stolen property.
Parents will be notified of any discipline problems or positive changes in student behavior.
Medication: Any medications that your child must take during the program hours must be registered with the program director. Head lice may be a problem when dealing with the number of children in a school facility. If a case should arise, parents will be notified. A child having lice will be permitted back into the program when the child is cleared by the school nurse or with a doctor’s affirmation.
