BEHAVIOR POLICY
The fee based program emphasizes a culture of collaboration, support, and mutual respect. Positive peer relationships and a cooperative learning environment for students and staff is important to us. Children and parents should be aware of our behavior policy:
- FIRST OFFENSE: Verbal Warning
- THIRD OFFENSE: Referral written and parents/guardians will be contacted
NOTE: Three written referrals will result in a suspension 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.
