Daily Sign In/Sign Out
It is required that parents sign their children in and
out, every day, in our Daily Attendance Book. Parents or a designated
adult must accompany their child/ren into and out of the building. This
is to ensure the safety of the children. A picture ID may be requested
at any time from any pick-up person. All authorized pick up persons
need to be at least 16 years of age. Children are not to sign themselves in or out!! Failure to comply with this rule will result in contact from the Coordinator to rectify the issue.
Field Trips
Parents will be notified well in advance of all field
trips taken while at ABACUS. We require a signature for general
permission for local field trips during the year. We also require a
separate permission for summer and vacation programs. If you have
specific questions regarding field trips please call our main office.
Input to the Program
We continually strive to improve our program to meet
our families’ needs. We encourage all parents to participate in and
return our annual family survey. This helps us to develop our program,
set new goals and keep focused on the needs of our participating
families.
Parent Information Board
There will be a Parent Information Board inside the
entrance to each ABACUS site. This is the area where the children are
to be signed in each morning, and afternoon. We ask that all parents
check the Parent Information Board each day for messages and
announcements. There will be general information as well as other
information that pertains specifically to your child.
Parent Visitation Policy
Parents are welcome to visit the program at any time
during normal operating hours. We encourage parents to drop by to see
the variety of activities that are available for their children.
Because the staff will have responsibilities for supervising groups of
children, we ask that the parents who are visiting do not use this time
for individual conferences. If there are any concerns regarding
specific children or activities, conferences with staff may be arranged
by prior request. Issues needing immediate attention may be addressed
with the program Coordinator.
Any parent wishing to volunteer in the program or stay
an extended period of time may contact the Coordinator to arrange a
CORI background check.
