Summer 2015 Marcy Minneapolis Kids Marcy Open School 415 4th Avenue SE Minneapolis, MN 55414 Site phone 612-668-1024 Site cellphone 612-250-2592 Enter door; Main entrance 4th Avenue side of the building Questions? Site Coordinators Teresa Abagi teaba001@mpls.k12.mn.us Vickie Hyatt Vickie.hyatt@mpls.k12.mn.us *Please allow 24 hours for email response. Thank you. Mpls Kids Main Office: 612-668-3890 Mpls.kids@mpls.k12.mn.us http://mplskids.mpls.k12.mn.us/ www.facebook.com “Minneapolis Kids School Age Care” We provide high quality school age child care for families. We offer a safe, nurturing, educational and recreational experience where children are encouraged to pursue interests and develop friendships, independence, and confidence. Welcome! Welcome to our summer adventure! We tried to answer all potential questions in this handbook so keep it handy for a reference! Your Marcy Minneapolis Kids Site Coordinators for the Summer Program are Teresa Abagi and Vickie Hyatt. Site coordinators work hours are 8:00am-4:00pm and 10:00am-6:00pm. Check-In and Check-Out We do not accept “drop-ins”. All children must be preregistered through the Main Office. In the interest of safety, Mpls Kids will not accept legal responsibility for a child unless an authorized person electronically signs him/ her in. An authorized adult must also sign the child out at the end of his/her day with us. Please let us know if someone new is picking up and remember an ID will be needed. Swim Trips Swim Shirts—Mpls Kids provides shirts designed for water use that ALL children need to wear on every swim trip. Swim shirts are NOT to go home. They are returned to staff after each use, washed, and given out for the next swim trip. Wearing these makes it easier for staff to track children in busy pools and help keep them safe. Younger Kids Group: It is easier for us if you would have your child put their swim suit on under their clothes on swim days. Please take into consideration how difficult it is for your child to put on her one piece suit—a two piece suit may be an easier choice for younger girls. 2 Field Trips Permission Slips—Please return all completed forms to a Mpls Kids staff by Friday, June 12. These need to be done before your child may participate in the program. Participation—All kids must accompany the group on days they are registered. Alternative care is not available on site. Summer School—Children in summer school will not be able to join the group on field trips if summer school is in session that day. Staff will be on site to meet the bus for kids scheduled to be with us after summer school. Departure Time—Children must be on site at least 1/2 hour before the time indicated on the calendar. This is 30 minutes prior to our departure and our group meeting time. During this time, we talk about our destination, FT expectations, take attendance, divide into small groups, answer questions, apply sunscreen, and count heads. T-Shirt—All Mpls Kids participants will be provided with a summer t-shirt. These shirts MUST be worn on ALL NONSWIMMING field trips. These colorful shirts help us track our group out in the general public. It makes life much easier for kids and staff to see each other! Visitors—We welcome parents to join us. Please let us know in advance so we can adjust our numbers with the destination. There are some trips that we have prepaid for tickets, and will not be able to take additional people. Lunch—Please check the calendar daily to see which type of lunch should be brought such as disposable lunch or no lunch needed. Spending Money—Typically we do not allow kids to bring money on field trips and most parents appreciate this. Summer expenses add up quickly. However, there are a few trips that spending money is allowed. Check the calendar for spending money days. Marcy Summer 2015 Medication What to Wear?! Casual clothes that can get dirty Shoes with backs and/or straps (no flip flops) Ok—Sandals with back strap, keens, tennis shoes Mpls Kids t-shirt on non-swimming field trip days Behavior For everyone’s safety we expect children to: Keep hands, feet and objects to yourself Follow directions and respect the people in charge Use appropriate language Respect other people and property We follow the Minneapolis Public School’s discipline policy. Parents will be notified when there are ongoing difficulties to help problem-solve their child’s be- Sunscreen If your child is prescribed medication that must be administered during Mpls Kids hours, a physician or dentist must provide written instructions to Mpls Kids. There must also be written permission from the parent to administer the medication. Medication must be in the original container, properly labeled with the child’s name, date, amount, and frequency of dosage. This procedure is also applicable to “over the counter” medication (ie: Tylenol). This is most kids’ least favorite activity, however we do want to save them from sunburn. We regularly apply a Kids SPF 30 sunscreen to children throughout the day. On outdoor field trips, we try to reapply every 2 hours. If your child is unable to use our sunscreen, please provide your own with your child’s name clearly labeled on it. Please resupply often. We will supervise sunscreen application, and will help kids as needed. Late Policy All children must be picked up by 6pm and families must leave the building by then. We appreciate your prompt pick up as our staff’s day also ends at 6pm and have family and obligations to attend to immediately after work. If you know you will be late, please make arrangements for someone else to pick up your child before 6pm and please tell Mpls Kids staff as well. A late fee of $1 per minute will be assessed for picking up a child after 6pm. On the third incident a $25 fee will be charged. After the fifth incident service will be terminated. Thank you for respecting our time by picking up your child before 6:00 pm. 3 Lunch and Snack A highlight of the day! Kids must bring a lunch with drink EVERY DAY. Refrigeration is NOT available for student lunches, so include an ice pack if needed. Due to the number of kids that we serve, we cannot microwave lunches. We provide a healthy afternoon snack daily. Bag Lunch—Field Trip Field trips often require a “disposable lunch”. What is it? It is a lunch in which EVERYTHING is tossed after eating, including the bag (nothing to bring home). See the itinerary for dates these lunches are needed. We often continue with the field trip after lunch and a disposable lunch gives your child the freedom of enjoying the rest of the trip without having to remember where his/her lunchbox was last seen. Thanks! Handy Hint: Pack the lunch in a plastic bag to prevent bag tears due to water bottle sweating. Please send a plastic spoon/fork. Marcy Summer 2015 Screen Time To the dismay of many children who would prefer to be in front of a computer screen all day long, we adhere to the MAAP accreditation standard that limits a child’s total screen time to 20 minutes per day. This includes computer lab, hand-held games, and other electronic gadgets we offer on site. D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read) We love to read! Summer is a great time for kids to continue their reading skills from the school year. We slow things down as a large group and have quiet reading time for about 30 minutes every day. This standard was created with the American Pediatric Association recommendation in mind that children should engage with entertainment media for no more than 1 to 2 hours per day. We think most parents would agree that their kids have many opportunities to fill their screen quota for the day. No Toys from Home Unless it is a day listed on the calendar. Please do not allow your child to bring anything of value on those days. We cannot replace lost or broken toys or electronics. Lost & Found Community Helpers We continue our summer tradition of learning more about the community around us and giving back to others. Our event this summer will be a bake sale to raise funds to support the Minnesota Humane Society. More information to come. We have books available for kids to choose from, but often they enjoy bringing a book or magazine from home to read or continue reading from the night before. The box is often full of many unclaimed items. Please check the Lost & Found area often. Unclaimed items will be donated at the end of the summer. We strongly encourage bringing books from home. Just be sure to label it with his/her name so it returns home. We are delighted to be combining staff from our great sites this summer. There will be many familiar faces along with new people to meet. Rest assured, we have the best staff in the area! For those who like to listen to a book, there are typically a couple options. A staff member reads aloud from an ongoing chapter book for those interested. This typically takes a few days to complete. For the younger set, a staff member reads aloud shorter picture books. 4 Our Wonderful Staff Please join us in welcoming the new faces! Until everyone becomes familiar with each other, please don’t be offended if we ask for an ID when you pick up your child.
