Admission and Termination
Admissions:
Healthy children will be admitted and accorded equal treatment and access to services without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, or ancestry. The A+ Preschool Program is for children ages 2.5 - transitional kindergarten/kindergarten and the A+ School Age Program is for children in transitional kindergarten through sixth grade.
The following forms must be completed and turned in to A+ before your child may be admitted into the program: Registration Form, Notification of Parents' Rights, Personal Rights, Identification and Emergency Information, Consent for Emergency Medical Treatment, Pre-admission Health History, Physicians Report (Preschool) and Immunization Records (Preschool).
Termination: A+ has the right to terminate this agreement and ask a parent to withdraw enrollment, if any of the following occurs:
• Repeated discipline problems
• Lack of parental cooperation
• On-going late pick up
• Inappropriate parental behavior to children, teachers, or staff
• The child presents a health or safety threat - I understand that I will be contacted should my child display violent, unsafe, or continually inappropriate behavior. I agree to pick up my child promptly upon such notification.
Health and Wellness
I understand that I will be contacted should my child become ill while at A+. I agree to pick up my child promptly upon such notification. I also understand that my child cannot attend A+ on a day in which he or she is ill. I also understand my child must be fever free and free of fever reducing medication for 24 hrs before returning to the A+ Program. I understand that I must inform A+ within 24 hours, or the next business day after my child or any member of our immediate family has developed any communicable disease. I also understand that life-threatening diseases must be reported immediately.
Sunscreen: I agree to apply sunscreen to my child (name above) before dropping him/her off at A+. I also agree to send sunscreen with my child and understand that I am responsible for ensuring A+ staff have enough sunscreen for my child to use for the entire day. ?I give permission for A+ staff to apply a sunscreen to my child on any exposed skin surface.
For Preschool Students: The day your child turns two-and-a-half years of age, he/she is eligible for our program. Children must be fully toilet trained by the day of entry. Children must be immunized against Polio (3), Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (1), Diphtheria- Pertussis- Tetanus (DPT-4), Hib, Hepatitis B, and Varicella (or give date of the disease). If risk factors have been detected in your preschooler, a TB test will be required. Up-to-date immunization records must be presented at the time of enrollment.
Best Practices for Physical Activity
Outdoor play activities will be scheduled every day (weather-permitting). Outdoor play is a vital part of a child's day, and important for their total health.
All children who are well enough to be at A+ will be expected to participate in outdoor play activities. Outdoor clothing is a requirement to be a part of the A+ Program. Due to safety and staffing requirements, we are not equipped to provide additional supervision for children when the appropriate outdoor gear is not provided.
During the summer season, please send sunscreen, hat, and an extra set of summer clothes (replenish as needed). Your child needs to wear shoes that protect his/her feet. Flip-flops, sandals, heels, and water socks are unsafe for playground activities. Please send your child with socks and tennis shoes.
During the winter season parents must send snow clothes, waterproof boots, gloves, hat, and an extra pair of socks. Please label winter gear for easy identification. During the winter season, please provide additional shoes for your child to wear in case his/her snow boots are too wet to wear indoors.
In addition to seasonal clothing requirements, we ask all parents to bring an extra change of clothing each day. Please put your child's name inside all clothing/shoes/accessories.
Medical Emergencies
I understand that I am required to maintain at all times, at least one additional emergency contact other than myself, including full name, and phone numbers. I understand that in the event of an emergency for which neither I, nor my emergency contact can be reached, the staff may contact police or other emergency authorities.
In the event of an emergency, if I cannot be reached, A+ has my permission to have my child transported to a local hospital for care. I grant permission for any emergency treatment and hospital services that may be rendered to said minor under the general direction of any hospital emergency department physician. I will not hold A+ or its employees liable. I understand that I am responsible for all expenses incurred.
Rights of Licensing Agency
The Department of Social Services licensing department has the authority to inspect, as specified in the Health and Safety Code Sections 1596.852, 1596.853, and 1596.8535, and the authority to interview children attending the A+ Program, or A+ staff without prior consent. This authority includes the right to inspect, audit, and copy the child’s records upon demand during normal business hours.
Photo Release
I give the A+ Program and First Baptist Church of Tahoe City the absolute right and permission to use my child’s photograph/video in its promotional materials and publicity efforts.
