Discipline Policy
Please take a few moments to review the S.A.F.E. Afterschool Program discipline policy with your child. This form should remain with you in your handbook throughout the school year.
The Afterschool program is offered so that children can have a safe and fun environment during the hours of 2:30-5:00. That being said, we expect all participants and parents/families to respect the staff, the other kids, and the property of others at all times.
We reserve the right to remove any child from the program if we feel we cannot adequately handle the behavioral needs of the child.
Offensive behaviors
Pushing, fighting, swearing, verbal abuse of another child or staff, stealing or destruction of property, failure or refusal to follow directions, misbehavior in the class room or gym area, and any other behavior deemed inappropriate by the staff.
The 3 strikes policy of the program is as follows:
- Strike one:If after a verbal warning the behavior does not change, a written notice will be sent home which will need to be signed by a parent and returned before the child is permitted to return to the program.
- Strike two:If poor behavior continues after the written warning, a second written notice will be sent home which will also need to be signed and returned before the child returns to the program. The child will also be asked to not return the following day after the incident.
- Strike three: If poor behavior continues after the first and second strike. The child will be removed from the camp for the remaining days of the afterschool program.
Fighting will not be tolerated. If fighting occurs the child will automatically move to strike two status and will be asked to not return the following day.
Pick-up
The S.A.F.E. Afterschool Program ends at 5:10pm. All children are expected to be signed out by 5:10 p.m.unless permitted to leave at a specified time by written notice. All children being picked up must be signed out by a parent or designated person everyday!
