After-School Programs – Building Entry Guidelines for Families
To help keep all students safe during after-school programs, please follow these expectations:
- Students and family members should not be in the building without staff supervision.
- Students should not open doors for anyone. This rule will be discussed with students.
- Please wait outside for your children to be dismissed.
- If you have a circumstance in which you must stay in the building during your child’s
activity, please discuss with the club’s point-person and remain in the same room where
the activity is taking place. - In case of emergency, a custodial contact phone number is posted on the door.
