Departure

Arrival & Departure Policies
Each child must be signed in & out each class day. The book in which you will do so, will be
located on the information table. Please inform all those that will be transporting your
child to/from school of our policies. We must have written record of your permission for
anyone picking up from school; their names must be on the Emergency Form or an update
note - WE MUST HAVE WRITTEN NOTICE FROM THE PARENT OR GUARDIAN,
BEFORE WE WILL RELEASE A CHILD INTO THE CARE OF SOMEONE ELSE. (This
includes another parent from class.) We will check photo ID for persons that we are not
familiar with. Safety is our first priority! While waiting for class to begin or after
dismissal, we expect all children to be supervised and well-behaved in the parish hall.
Thanks for your help!

Arrival/Departure Notes:

		Please take your child to the bathroom before class begins. This is very helpful to
		us!!
		We will open the door to the classrooms when it is time to enter. Please be patient!
		Please be on time to class. It is stressful for your child and sometimes disruptive
		to the rest of the class when a child enters late. (They may also miss something fun!)
		If you have transportation information to pass on to the teachers, please do so in
		writing - we have premade information updates and pick up notes at the front table. Our staff is wonderful, but they may not remember every spoken word at this busy time - please put everything that is needed, or important, in writing.
		Cooperation at Arrival & Departure is vital. SCP Staff needs to be focused on the
		children coming in & out of the classroom.
		DO NOT USE THIS TIME TO CONFERENCE WITH THE TEACHERS! We love
		to talk to the parents about their children - that is why we are here; however we will speak with you at an appropriate time. If anything out of the ordinary happens in class, you will receive a note home.
		EARLY DEPARTURE- If possible, please let us know if you need to pick up your
		child early- we will prepare them and have them ready to go.
		LATE PICK UP: Children are expected to be picked up on time! Dismissal times
		vary for classes -10 min. late is a $5 fee and every minute thereafter is $1. This policy is enforce to remind parents and guardians that the children do not like to be picked up late - it is stressful for them and very inconsiderate to the staff. There will be no warnings - and you will be charged accordingly.
		If there is an emergency or unavoidable incident such as; a traffic accident, car
		trouble, etc., please call and let us know as soon as possible. We will be happy to help make alternate arrangements for your child if need be. Call the Classroom #410-643-4781.
		We will waive the late pick up fee in certain emergency instances.
