BEHAVIOR GUIDELINES
Extended Care will provide an atmosphere of order that is essential to allowing a student to strive toward a Spirit-controlled, Christ-like life. We believe parents bear the primary responsibility for teaching their children right behavior and attitudes and we will depend heavily on parents to help if there is a behavior problem. Rules and regulations are imposed to encourage proper habits, enabling the student to become self-disciplined. These rules will be clearly and concisely presented to the student.
Standards of behavior expected:
- Treat everyone with respect.
- Respect the property of others and the school.
- Make choices that allow the safety of one~s self and others.
- Make responsible choices regarding behavior.
- Make choices that enable all students to have positive experiences each day.
We want your child to experience a positive, enjoyable time; therefore, failure to comply with expected behavior will result in dismissal from the program. In addition to these policies, students and parents are expected to follow all policies established in the Student Handbook.
HEALTH POLICY and MEDICATION
The Extended Care staff will contact you if your child is sick. The Director of the Extended Care program has the discretion to notify parents to pick up their child if the child has a fever of 100 degrees or above, if a child has an open and draining sore, if any other contagious condition exists, or if the child has a serious injury.
If your child requires any medication during the period they are in Extended Care, parents must bring it to the school office, complete a Parent Permission for the Administration of Prescribed Medication form and note on it the time child needs to take it during Extended Care. If the school office is not open, please take it to the Extended Care office and follow the above procedures.
PERSONAL BELONGINGS AND VALUABLES
