ASE POLICIES

HOURS OF OPERATION

Campus opens at 8 a.m. If your K-8 student needs ASE early-bird care between 7:45-8 a.m, please contact me to sign up your child. The early bird rate is $5/morning for your student. Students are not permitted on campus before 7:45 a.m.

The ASE Program is open 2:45 - 5 p.m. After 5 p.m., a late fee will be charged. The late pick-up penalty is $12 for the first minute and $1 for each additional minute. Habitual late pick-up (five times) will be cause for a child’s dismissal from the ASE Program.

Drop-ins are discouraged at this time. However, if your child attends camp without prior registration, you will be billed $20 per hour. K-5 students on campus after 3:15, and 6-8 students on campus after 3:45 p.m. who are not participating in a supervised activity (such as a club or sport) will be checked in to camp and charged the drop in rate.

ASE will be closed during all school holidays/closures. Please refer to the Holiday Calendar in CavNET. ASE will not be offered to families on teacher work days or parent conference days.

SNACKS

Please send an after-school snack for your student; the ASE program does not provide snacks.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND/OR PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS

If your child has a medical condition, please email the Director with accommodations required for your child after you register your child for ASE.

SIGNING IN AND OUT

If your student is attending camp after school, they will be signed in and out by a camp counselor.

If your lower and/or middle school child is on campus after school without a parent or guardian (18+ years), they need to check in to ASE and will be charged the drop-in fee.

High school students are not able to sign their siblings out of ASE to supervise them on campus.

DISCIPLINE POLICY

All campers have the right to enjoy a positive, healthy, and safe experience in Country Day’s ASE Program. All students are expected to follow and support our expectations of participation with a positive attitude and kind behavior at all times. Behavior or language that are perceived by the Director or designated staff to be mean spirited, hurtful, unsafe, or threatening may result in a suspension or dismissal from the program. This extends to any behavior that undermines our goal to best serve the needs of all participants.

ALLERGY POLICY

Country Day values the safety of all of our community members and exercises some common-sense precautions to support students who have specific allergies. Though we are not a nut-free school, we strive to make it safer for children and adults with food allergies to participate in the full range of activities available at school.

The School's Responsibilities

1.We will educate the faculty and staff about allergies, signs and symptoms of allergy and anaphylaxis, and provide training on the use of epinephrine (Epi-

Pens and other such devices.) 2.Each child with a known allergy will have an Allergy and Anaphylaxis

Emergency Care Plan in the school and P.E. offices, and for Lower School students, in their classroom. 3.We will educate students and parents about allergies and appropriate precautions. 4.Each faculty and staff member will be made aware of which children in their care have serious allergies. 5.All emergency medication and

Emergency Care Plans will be taken on field trips. 6.It is a Lower School rule that children may not share or trade food with each other.

The Family’s Responsibilities

1.Provide a complete Allergy and

Anaphylaxis Emergency Care Plan to the school office. 2.Inform the school if your child’s allergy could be triggered by casual contact with the allergen (e.g. touch or inhalation rather than ingestion). If this is the case, more specific precautions will be implemented in your child’s classroom or grade to minimize the possibility of contact. 3.Provide all proper medication for your child. 4.Provide treats for the child to have on hand for birthdays or class parties.

Children with known allergies may not eat food provided by others. If needed, treats may be stored in the refrigerator or freezer at school. Please label the treats. 5.Continue to educate and remind your child to limit his/her foods to those provided by or approved by the family. 6.Help to educate teachers, parents, and if desired, classmates about food allergies.
