FINDER’ S FEE
It is important to notify Adventures Plus if your child will be absent from the after-school session. Failure to notify the program results in a missing child search process that pulls staff away from caring for the other students. A $ 10 Finder’ s Fee will be assessed to your account if an after-school absence is not communicated with Adventures Plus site staff at least 30 min. prior to school dismissal.
Failure to notify staff of your child’ s absence from Adventures Plus on a reoccurring basis may result in termination of the contract.
ILLNESS
If children attend the program with any of the following symptoms, the parent / guardian will be contacted immediately to pick-up the child:
A temperature registering 100 degrees or above. Temperature must be normal( 98.6 ° F) for 24 hours before returning.
Fever, vomiting, diarrhea, any undiagnosed rash, discharge from eye, ears or profuse nasal discharge, severe cold symptoms.
Exposure to communicable diseases( such as scabies, whooping cough, severe sore throat, measles, pink eye, ringworm, fifth disease, mumps, chicken pox, impetigo, diphtheria, scarlet fever, strep throat) should be reported to staff. If your child is contagious, he / she may not attend Adventures Plus until 24 hours after medication begins or released by physician.
If parent / guardian is unable to pick-up the sick child within one hour of being contacted, they are expected to contact an authorized person to pick up the child. In cases where the parent / guardian is unable to be reached, the person listed on the emergency form will be contacted.
When isolation of a child due to communicable illness is necessary, the child will rest in a space away from other children until parent / guardian arrives for pick-up.
IMMUNIZATIONS
Adventures Plus must have access to records detailing the child’ s current immunizations or applicable exemption prior to the first day of attendance. Any students without immunizations on file with the district must submit immunization information to the Adventures Plus central billing office prior to the first day of attendance.
ALLERGIES / HEALTH CONDITIONS
Upon yearly registration, a parent / guardian must complete the allergy information in the registration system, which includes a description of the allergy, avoidance techniques, description of the reaction, how to respond to the allergic reaction, and medication information.
MEDICATION INFORMATION
Adventures Plus can administer only prescription medication that is in the original prescription bottle with the child’ s name. Pills must be cut and counted at home. An authorized form( available online and at the site) must be completed annually and signed by a parent / guardian and physician in order for the Adventures Plus staff to administer the medication. Please send a correct measurement utensil for liquid medication. Over-the-counter medication may require a doctor’ s note showing dosage and timeline. The first dose of a new medication must be administered at home in case of an adverse reaction. Children may not transport or store medication in or with their belongings.
Medications will not be given after the expiration date and will be returned to the child’ s parent / guardian or destroyed if unused.

Outdoor play is an important activity which students participate in daily. Children attending should be healthy enough to engage in all activities. Adventures Plus staff are not trained to make a medical diagnosis, but only to observe and inform parent / guardian of any signs of illness. If staff observe signs of illness, the parent / guardian will be contacted, and will need to pick-up their child.
