THINK DAY RULES

1. Parent/Guardian Responsibility: Parents/Guardians are responsible for their child/children during THINK DAY, at all times. THINK DAY is not a drop-off activity, and other THINK members, coordinators, etc. will not assume responsibility for your child. It is imperative that you understand that your child/children must be supervised at all times. Even if you are okay with allowing your child to be unsupervised, THINK is not. If a Parent/Guardian must leave the premises during THINK DAY, that Parent/ Guardian must authorize, in writing, a designated adult who agrees to take responsibility for their child/children during the Parent's/Guardian's absence. There is a sign-out sheet, in addition to a Medical Emergency Release Form, in the kitchen for this purpose.

I understand and agree to the above rule__________ (parent’s initials)

2. Allergy Awareness: THIS IS AN ALLERGY SENSITIVE GROUP. Several children who are or may become involved in activities have life threatening allergies to certain food items. By signing this document, you are agreeing to NOT bring peanuts, peanut butter, tree nuts, trail mix, granola, granola bars of any kind to THINK Day or any THINK related activity/event. Home baked goods must be free of nuts and nut flours. Disregard to this policy is GROUNDS FOR DISMISSAL FROM THE GROUP WITHOUT EXCEPTION. No refunds for THINK membership, THINK Day classes and related fees associated with such classes, and/or related events will be issued to offending families.

This is a life or death matter and must be taken very seriously. _________ (parent’s initials)

3. Job Assignment: No one gets paid to run THINK; it is a cooperative. Therefore, each parent will be assigned duties at THINK Day. Possible job assignments are classroom monitor, morning set-up, afternoon clean-up, lunch time set up and clean up, and being on call to help in whatever capacity might be needed. Please help THINK Day run smoothly by performing whatever task is assigned to you.

I understand and agree to help set-up and clean up, and/or other jobs for the benefit of the

group. _________ (parent’s initials)

4. Outdoor Play: Parental supervision is required for any/all students utilizing the grounds outside the facility. Please be respectful of the memorial garden, as well as the other landscaped areas. NOTE: THIS IS RURAL FLORIDA. YOUR CHILD MAY ENCOUNTER FIRE ANTS, VENOMOUS SNAKES, AND OTHER NATIVE ANIMALS. ALSO, AT THE CHURCH’S REQUEST, THERE IS NO TREE CLIMBING. Proper attire is required. This includes shoes.

5. Classroom Etiquette: Appropriate classroom behavior is expected both from students and from parents who choose to accompany their child to class. This will be strictly enforced by both the instructor and the THINK Team. If you are sitting in a classroom with your child, please be respectful of the teacher and other students who have paid to attend the class, so as not to disturb the lesson. A teacher or classroom monitor may ask you to be quiet or leave the room if you are distracting to the learning process. We also ask that each of the students promote an attitude of honesty, respect and integrity with each other. No dangerous, disorderly or disrespectful behavior to teachers, other adults, other children, or the facilities will be tolerated. Common courtesy and good manners are expected of both students and parents in all areas of the facility. This includes using appropriate language and age appropriate discussion topics and content.

6. Facility Guidelines: While sharing a space with SLUU, we must be respectful of their facility and property. Using SLUU’s office supplies and equipment (computer, printer, etc) is off limits. Items from the kitchen such as utensils, coffee cups, etc may be used but must be washed & returned to their spot when finished. 

7. Sickness: If a child is sick, showing symptoms such as a temperature of 100 degrees or more, rash, vomiting, nasal discharge, the flu or diarrhea, you must keep your child home. If these symptoms are noticed at THINK Day, you will be asked to remove your child from the facilities to prevent others from getting sick as well.

8.Absence/Tardiness: If your family will miss classes for any reason, please send a courtesy notification so teachers and coordinators are aware, found in the drop-down menu under "THINK Day Classes". Otherwise, it is imperative that your family make every effort to be present at the beginning of each class period so as not to disturb a class in progress with late arrivals. Keep in mind that excessive tardiness reflects badly on our group and may cause teachers to think twice about offering classes at THINK.
