What Families Need to Know / Expectations

Absences
If your child is ill or is unexpectedly going to be gone you can inform the CLC of the absence by calling the school and ask them to put a note in our box.

Illness Policy
If your child is not feeling well, is sick, or has an accident at CLC, we will call you. The student will be able to sit out of the activities until he/she is picked up.

Snack
We provide a snack everyday that contains two foods from the basic food groups. If you would prefer to send a snack in addition or instead of, feel free to do so. Please let us know if there are foods that your student is unable to eat.

Discipline Policy
First incident of disruptive behavior Issue a verbal warning
If disruptive behavior continues Student is removed from the group until he/she can handle returning
If disruptive behavior continues Student is removed from the group again
If disruptive behavior still continues Student will be suspended for the rest of
the day, or the following program day

Suspension outline is as follows:

• First suspension is one day.
• Second suspension is one day.
• Third suspension is one week (5 program days)
• Fourth suspension is one week (5 program days)
• Fifth suspension is for a minimum of 40 program days

* If the student reaches a 40 day suspension and is able to return to the program, the suspension outline is different.

We reserve the right to skip steps when disruptive behavior creates a safety concern for any of the students.

Personal Belongings
We are not responsible for lost or stolen items. If the CLC staff spots a disruptive object, it will be confiscated until a parent picks the student up.

Safety and Transportation
Your child’s safety is our first priority. Every precaution will be taken to ensure your child’s safety. We follow all school rules and reinforce them at all times. Rules are posted on the bulletin board all year and are used as a constant reminder for students and staff. When field trips are taken all children are transported in YMCA vehicles. All drivers have completed drivers training with the YMCA.

Inclement Weather
If LPS closes due to bad weather, CLC will not be in session. Please make other arrangements with family members to pick up your students. We are always looking for feedback regarding our programs. Feel free to talk to any leader regarding our programs and your child. I look forward to a great school year as the CLC Director for Mickle.
