HEALTH AND SAFETY

We strive to be sensitive to individual health concerns and to ensure student’s safety and well-being while participating in Center programs. We make every effort to maintain our property, to communicate with public agencies, and to understand the special needs of our students.

It is in the best interest of the student if the Center is made aware of any medical or behavioral conditions which may require additional attention. All information is confidential.

Parents should note that siblings who are waiting must be supervised at all times in the hallways of the building.

Please be alert to the drop off and pick up area of the parking lot and entrance area so your child does not run out into traffic in the lot.

The Center is equipped with an electronic security system and emergency panic system to alert the proper authorities in the event of an emergency. Please be patient when the door is locked—it is for your child’s safety.

MEDICAL EMERGENCY

 In the event of a medical emergency, the student will be brought to the front desk, if possible.  If the student’s condition can be managed by the office, (i.e. band aides or ice), Center staff will handle the problem.

If the emergency requires immediate professional medical attention, the following sequence will occur:

1. 911 will be notified.
2. Guardians will be notified.
3. Faculty or staff member will remain with student until help arrives.

The Center uses information provided from current registration forms. It is therefore essential for all registration forms be filled out completely.

Each student is required to have a completed registration form. Should your child become ill, we will refer to this form to contact you. If this information changes during the school year, it is important that you notify the front desk as soon as possible.

PHYSICAL SITE SAFETY

The Center is located in a building inspected and certified by the Department of Labor and Industry, which assures compliance with fire and safety codes in general building operations.

The Center’s main program site is accessible to the physically handicapped, (ADA compliant) in all classroom and restroom facilities. All efforts will be made to accommodate students with special medical or physical handicaps, specified in a physician’s statement or waiver of participation.

PARKING LOT SAFETY

Parents - please do NOT block the parking lot when dropping off or picking up students! Pull close enough to the building or park so other traffic can pass without disruption. You may not stopand wait for drop off or pickup by the front door; parking spots are available to park and wait.

Also, please note that the Center is unable to provide supervision or child care and isnot responsible for the safety and well-being of students who are dropped off more than 10 minutes before classes begin or who are picked up more than 10 minutes after a classis completed. While circumstances can occur that a parent may be late, please understand
that it is often stressful and embarrassing to your child to be left waiting and Center staffcannot “baby-sit.”
