Program Policies:

Participants must be signed in and out daily by a parent or authorized person. This is done by signing your name and time of signature. Children may not sign themselves in or out of the program. Parents and authorized contacts must be listed on the Emergency Information Card. No exceptions will be made. Individuals will be required to show a valid picture I.D. at the time of pick-up. A written request to release your child to a person not on the authorized list will be verified by phone, with your telephone authorization code, before your child will be released. If there are custodial issues, legal custody paperwork must be on file at the Peoria Unified EdCamp Program site.

Health & Emergency Procedures: If a child becomes ill during the program, the child will be placed in an isolated area and the site director will contact the parents to have the child taken home by an authorized person. Keep your child home if he/she displays any of the following symptoms; nausea, rashes, red/inflamed eyes, temperature above 100? without medication, or cold symptoms within the past 24 hours. To report your child's absence, call 623-773-6683. Minor scratches and cuts will be treated at the site. If a serious accident should occur, the City of Glendale/Peoria Fire Department (911) will be summoned for treatment and will decide whether a child should be taken to the nearest hospital or doctor's office by ambulance. Parents will be notified immediately. Treatment may only be rendered if written authorization is on file.

Medications: Students are not allowed to carry any medication. All medicine will be stored in a locked cabinet and will be dispensed by staff. For staff to administer medication, parent/guardian must complete a "Medication Release Form" available at the site and bring the medication in the original container with the child's name and dosage information on it.

Personal Items: Keep personal items at home. EdCamp provides a variety of materials and activities to keep children busy and engaged. Peoria Unified EdCamp staff is not responsible for personal items. Children are not allowed to use cell phones or other electronic devices at the site. If you and your child need to be in contact for urgent matters, we will allow use of the site telephone for short calls. Cell phones must be put away upon arriving at the site.

Revised 4/5/19 - MS

Student Expectations ? All children are entitled to a positive and safe EdCamp learning environment. Therefore, children are

expected to follow the rules and directions from the Peoria Unified EdCamp staff. Children must be able to participate in a 1:8 staff to student ratio. Children are expected to behave in a way that ensures the safety of themselves and other children. ? Staff members will try to redirect children to appropriate behavior choices: however, when disciplinary action becomes necessary due to unacceptable behavior, staff will take into consideration the severity of the behavior, the age of the child and if the behavior has taken place repeatedly. Some appropriate consequences may include: a verbal warning, a brief "calm-down" period, loss of privilege, a written behavior report or possible suspension and/or expulsion from the EdCamp program. If program administration determines that a child cannot benefit from the EdCamp program or presents a danger to his/her self or other children, the student may be withdrawn from the program. ? Extreme behaviors such as hitting, biting, spitting, kicking, etc.; abusive language; disrespect to staff (verbally or physically by child or parent); attempts to leave or leaving the program without permission; repeated offenses within the same day or those behaviors that put a child or others in danger will accelerate the disciplinary process. Repeated inappropriate or aggressive behavior with multiple suspensions will lead to removal from the EdCamp program. The re-admission of a student into the program will be done at the discretion of the program director.

The Peoria Unified School District EdCamp program reserves the right to remove a participant from the program at any time without notice; if this occurs, the District will provide a prorated refund of the program fees that were remaining on the balance.

Children with a Disability or Impairment

If your child has a disability or impairment, please provide IEP/504 accommodation paperwork to ensure a plan for successful participation. Accommodations will be provided to afford a student with a disability or impairment meaningful access to the EdCamp program, unless demonstrated that the accommodation would be a fundamental alteration in the nature of the EdCAmp program or constitute an undue financial and administrative burden. Any student, including students with disabilities, may be removed from EdCamp if that student, even with reasonable accommodations, compromises the safety and/or successful participation of students and staff.

Peoria Unified School District does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in admission to its programs, services, or activities. The right of a student to participate fully in the EdCamp program shall not be abridged or impaired because of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, and disability, or any other reason not related to the student's individual capabilities.
