COMMUNITY WORKS PROGRAM AGREEMENT

ENROLLMENT: Registration is required before a child may participate in the program. 

PROGRAM PARTICIPATION: As there are a very limited number of spaces available, participation requirements will be strictly enforced. Any student absent from the Community Works Program more than five times will be dropped from the program and their space made available to a waiting student. (Program fee will not be refunded.)

STUDENT PICK-UP/DROP-OFF: All young people must sign-in at the start of programming. Please do not enter the building before the start of program day. Young people should not be dropped-off prior to the start of the program day. Late pick-ups will be charged $15.00. If you are repeatedly late, your child may face suspension or expulsion per the Site Director’s discretion. After 4:00pm without parent contact additional measures will be taken to ensure student safety.  CW will make every reasonable effort to only release students to the person (s) designated by the parent/guardian on the registration form.  Once a student is signed out by a parent/ guardian the CW Program is no longer responsible for that child.  Parents must come to the designated area. If a student is to be released to anyone other than the person listed, the Site Director must be notified, directly.  I.D. will be required if someone unfamiliar to CW staff arrives to pick up your student.   

DISCIPLINE: Disruptive or disrespectful behavior toward other students or staff will not be permitted and will be cause for dismissal from the program. Please see Parent-Student pledge for more information.

MEDICINE DISTRIBUTION:No medication can be administered or consumed unless both a doctor and a parent/guardian have submitted the appropriate forms and medication to the CW Site Director. We strongly encourage families to dispense both temporary and maintenance medications outside of program hours. There are no nurses during the Community Works Program on duty. Community Works can not guarantee that a trained medicine disbursement individual is on site at all times. Medication needs to be in the original container with the appropriate prescription label (including the name of the student, the name of the medicine, the date, the dosage information, and directions for administering the medication) and the appropriate LA Administration of Medication Form. We store and administer the medicine in a secure location. Please be aware that the medication cannot travel back and forth to program – once it’s given to us for your child’s use, it must remain with us until it needs to be refilled. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to ask for two separate prescriptions when at the doctor’s office with your child. Students are not allowed to have medication (prescription or nonprescription) of any kind in their possession at the program and it should not be placed in their bags. One adult in the presence of a second adult, with the exception of a life-threatening emergency, shall administer medication. A log of medication administration, by individual, will be kept. The log will contain the name of the student, the name of the medication, the dosage to be given, and the time to be given. The person giving the medication will record the date and time of the administration of medication and sign their name. The witness (second adult in attendance) will initial the log. If an error is made in recording, the person who administered should line out, initial the error, and make the correction in the log. If any adverse reaction to medication occurs, the parent/guardian will be notified and if necessary, 911 shall be called. At any time the use of an Epi-pen is administered, it MUST be followed by a call to 911. 

STUDENT TO INSTRUCTOR RATIO (or SUPPORTING STUDENTS WITH ADDITIONAL NEEDS): Community Works Summer Programs enforce a 15:1 (9:1 following COVID-19) Student to Instructor ratio. If your student has one on one attention during the school day, please consider this while registering your child for summer camp with us. Regretfully, funding does not allow CW to hire additional staff to fill this need.

CW does not provide any refunds. Summer Program Fee is due in full. Payments may be made by money order to Community Works, cash, or online at www.communityworksla.org
