Discipline Procedures
Please keep in mind, two verbal warnings will be given before becom-
ing a first offense.
1st Offense:
A warning letter will be sent home to a parent or guardian, or the
participant if he or she is an adult, to be signed and returned. The par-
ent/participant will also be called by the Program Instructor and/or
Recreation Supervisor.
2nd Offense:
Suspension -- the participant will be suspended for three days follow-
ing the offense. The parent/participant will be notified via the phone or
upon parental pick-up and a written explanation will be sent home by
the Recreation Supervisor.
In cases when a program only meets for one day, participants will be
given two verbal warnings. If the behavior is not corrected after two
warnings, the participant will be removed from the class. Depending
on the situation and the degree of the offense, the participant may be
permanently dismissed from the program following the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd
offense. There will be no refunds for days missed due to disciplinary
infractions. NOTE: Parents of program participants are responsible for ANY damages
caused by their child.
