Downtown - Enrollment Form - First Presbyterian Day School (Page 4 of 4) in pdf

EXEMPTION STATUS:

The Extended Day Program and Preschool at FPDS Downtown are exempt from state licensing based on our accreditations, SAIS, AdvancED and

CESA. We comply with all applicable statutes and governmental regulations related to preschool/afterschool programs.

FIELD TRIPS:

Parents will be notified in advance of any scheduled off-campus field trip. Off-campus field trips are generally scheduled during the summer day care

program only. Children, required by Georgia State law to use a booster seat, will also be required to do so by the Extended Day program during any off-

campus field trips. Booster seats labeled with the child’s name should be left in the Extended Day office on the day of the scheduled trip.

Extended Day does provide transportation for field trips. Walking field trips to an on-campus area may be scheduled at various times throughout the

school year and summer day care program. A notice of any walking field trip will be posted in a prominent location in the Pre school area at the time of

the event.

HEALTH:

Children who are ill are never to be in the Extended Day Program.

Being ill includes having a severe cough or headache, a sore throat, an

undetermined rash, a temperature over 99 degrees, or an upset stomach. If a child in the program is ill, the parents will be called and the child will

remain with a teacher or in the office until he/she is picked up.

Children may only return to the program after a communicable disease when they have been released by a physician and no symptoms remain. If there

is any question about the exclusion time from the center, the communicable disease chart (located in the center office) given by the Department of

Human Resources will be followed. The center is required to report any suspected case of noticeable disease to the local Health Department. Please

notify the director if your child has a communicable disease so other parents can be notified of possible exposure. Our school principal will notify

parents in writing about any exposure to a communicable disease.

The center is also required to report to the Department of Family and Children Services any suspected child abuse or neglect.

Before medication is dispensed to a child, an authorization form must be filled out by the parent and given to the director. This form must include the date,

the name of the child, the name of the medication, prescription number, dosage, date and time of day the medication should be given. Medication must be

in the original container. Do not send medication in the child's bag. In the event of an adverse reaction to the medication, parents will be notified in writing

on the Authorization for Medication form.

Medical and emergency records, including immunization records, must be filled out before a child's first day in the program. (This includes drop-ins.) Be

sure to contact the director if there are any changes in the information during the year.

LUNCH AND SNACKS:

Children who are enrolled in the program will be required to have a lunch that meets USDA requirements. Each parent is responsible for providing 1

serving of 1 ½ - 2 oz. protein, 1 serving of ½ - ¾ cup fruit, 1 serving of ½ - ¾ cup vegetables, and ½ slice of bread. The Extended Day Program will

provide the milk. Note: If your child is allergic to milk or has a special diet, a doctor's note stating that fact should be placed in your child's file. Other items

may be included in your child's lunch, but they cannot replace the required components. Canned drinks are not allowed. Please make sure the lunch is

labeled with your child' name. If needed, please put an ice pack in your child’s lunch box. We cannot accommodate refrigerated items. To guarantee that

your child is receiving nutritious meals, the Extended Day staff will check the food items sent. If the staff has to supplement meals to meet USDA

standards, a small fee will be incurred to meet the cost.

Snacks are provided by the Extended Day Program. The snack menu is posted in the office each week.

NAPS:

A nap time or quiet time is required for all students in 3K, Pre-K and Kindergarten. All children who do not sleep will have a quiet time of rest and soft

music. The summer program requires all age groups to take part in this quiet time.
