Pick Up/Sign Out Policy


PICK UP/SIGN OUT POLICY
Sign Out Policy
Parents (or authorized persons) must sign their children out at the end of the day. It is extremely important that you sign your child out when picking up. In cases of emergency, when every child must be accounted for, if you picked your child up but did not sign out, emergency personnel waste valuable time searching for a child that is not here. If you fail to sign your child out you will be charged a $5 fee for the first occurrence; $25 for the second & third occurrences; after the 3rd occurrence your child may be terminated from the program.
 
Parents must submit a pick up/release form, which lists only those individuals who have been authorized by the parent to pick their child up. No child will be released to any individual not on the list without parental consent. If you send an adult to pick up your child who does not have a written note & is not on the pick-up/release form, staff will contact a parent to get verbal permission. If no parent can be reached your child will not be released.
 
Pick Up Policy
If the parent is late picking up a late pick up fee will apply. If you know you are going to be late please email or call the extended day office. A late fee of $15 will be assessed at 5:01 or 6:01 pm; an additional $2 per minute will be assessed for each subsequent minute from 5/6:02 to 5/6:15; a $3 per minute for 5/6:16-5/6:30. If contact has not been made with a parent by 6:30 staff will call your emergency contact person to come pick the child up. If the child has not been picked up by 6:45 the Groton or Dunstable police may be contacted to take custody of the child. After the third late pick up you may be terminated from the program.
 
For those scheduled to pick up by 5:00 pm you may extend your pick up to 6:00 in the case of an emergency.  The fee for this service is $25. You must notify the extended day office no later than 3:00 pm to utilize this option. It is allowed no more than once a month. If you pick up late more than twice in a month you will be automatically switched to the 6:00 pm pick up option for the next month.
 
Please do not linger in the classroom at pick up as it can be distracting to staff and remaining students. If you have concerns or questions regarding your child’s day, a staff member will step away from the group to speak with you.
