Safety

• Safety of students is of highest priority. Program staff works very hard to maintain an environment where students can participate in activities safely.
• Our Program Coordinator is always onsite and has a current First Aid/CPR certification. Occasionally students may experience a minor injury while participating in activities. When that happens, program staff uses their first aid knowledge to take care of the student. All staff carries basic first aid supplies with them throughout the day.
• If a child is significantly injured, the staff will immediately call 9-1-1 as well as notify a parent or guardian. In the event of a natural or other disaster, students will remain under the direct care and supervision of program staff until an authorized individual is able to check them out.

• Unfortunately, there are no refunds for days or weeks that students cannot attend. All students must be registered to attend the program; a friend cannot replace an absent student.

Allergies

• We do NOT adhere to a “nut-free” policy at School. However, we make every effort to minimize risk to vulnerable students. For students who bring snacks, our staff enforces a strict, “no trading and no sharing” policy. In addition, instructors are informed of any student who has allergies.
• WE CAN NOT ACCOMMODATE students with WHEAT, GLUTEN, or DAIRY ALLERGIES.
• If your child has any food/substance allergies, please note them during registration. Programs staff will follow up with families on a case-by-case basis. Parents/guardians are responsible for providing any necessary medical supplies (e.g., EpiPen). Program coordinator has current First Aid/CPR certification as well as training in administering the EpiPen.
