Behavior Agreement
We believe that after school child care should provide a relaxed, comfortable environment where children are encouraged to play, visit, and create. In order to provide this type of environment, we have a flexible structure enabling the children to choose from many different activities. This is only possible if children accept the responsibility to follow these expectations, and we have your cooperation in impressing the importance of these guidelines.
Our code of conduct is primarily the same as at the schools:
1) follow directions from any adult in charge
2) show respect for other students and for adults in language and actions
3) respect the property of the school and other students
4) use good table manners, talk quietly and stay seated while eating
5) share all playground and craft equipment
6) use all playground and craft equipment safely and properly
7) work and play in the approved supervised areas
8) walk and talk in the hallways quietly, even though school is out
Appropriate behavior will be praised and rewarded in various ways including the granting of special privileges. Inappropriate behavior will be disciplined in one or more ways:
1) the student will be reminded of expected behavior
2) the student will receive an opportunity to make another choice
3) the student will miss opportunity to participate in a craft or game
4) the student and his/her parent will have a conference with staff
Serious misconduct: Stealing, intentional damages of property, physical assault on another person, profane or obscene language or open defiance of a supervisor may result in an immediate expulsion from the program. The parent will be responsible for reimbursing the program for the cost of damaged items. The After School Club reserves the right to remove a student without notice that engages in any of these behaviors.
Biting: We support a zero tolerance for biting.
1st Bite = Parent called to remove the child for the rest of the day.
2nd Bite = Child is removed from the program for 2 weeks.
3rd Bite = Child is removed from the program for remainder of year.
No Refund for any days missed due to biting.
Although these guidelines are discussed frequently with the children, we would like you to go over this list of expectations with your child. We appreciate your support of this behavior agreement.
