BEHAVIOR AGREEMENT:

In order to ensure the health and safety of my child in attendance at Rec Plus, I/we understand that certain rules must apply to all children in the Rec Plus program. The rules are as follows:

1. Keep hands, feet and objects to yourself.

2. Follow directions and be respectful of the person(s) in charge.

3. Use appropriate language.

4. Respect other people and property.

 

I/we understand that if I /or my child/ or a person I have authorized to communicate with staff on my child's behalf, display any of the following behaviors it may result in my child being suspended or expelled from the Rec Plus program:

1. A behavior that takes away any person’s right to be safe.

2. A behavior that keeps any staff person from fulfilling their job requirements to be available for all children because of continuous interference of a child.

3. A behavior that includes inappropriate touching of a person’s body, and/or using inappropriate language or actions.

4. Any behavior involving purposeful destruction or theft of property.

5. Blatant disrespect or refusal to follow directions of those in charge.

6. Running away off Park Board grounds from any Rec Plus program location.

 

If a violation of the rules occurs, the Childcare Specialist and Child Development Manager/Supervisor will work with the parent, child and other staff to develop a plan that addresses the behavior. Each incident will be decided on a case-by-case basis. If I have concerns with another child in the program, I as a parent/guardian, will talk to the staff. I will not approach or address the issue with a child that is not mine. If I am called due to my child’s behavior, I must pick up my child within 30 minutes.

 

EMERGENCY TREATMENT:

I understand that no emergency treatment may be given without informed parental consent except in a life- threatening situation.

I agree to keep on file at the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MRPB), Recreation Plus Childcare Program current telephone numbers where a parent or designated responsible adult can be promptly reached in case of emergency. In case of emergency while my child is in attendance at the MPRB Recreation Plus Childcare Program, I understand that the following procedure will be followed.

Staff is trained in first aid procedures. If a serious injury should occur, the Recreation Plus staff will perform first aid. Staff will notify you to pick up your child immediately and let you determine if you should take your child to the doctor or dentist. When necessary, 911 will be contacted. Staff will immediately make every effort to notify the parent or persons on the emergency contact card if 911 is called. MPRB accident report forms will be used for all Rec Plus injuries. The parent or guardian is responsible for all medical charges. Medical insurance coverage for the children is the responsibility of the family

 

FIELD TRIP:

I understand that my child is required as part of the Rec Plus program to attend field trips using school bus transportation if they are scheduled and attending the day of the trip. It is my responsibility to review field trip information. I understand alternate care options are not provided by Rec Plus during the time of the Rec Plus bus field trip. The only exception to this, is for students returning from summer school at or after 2:00pm.

I understand that my child will attend full group Rec Plus walking field trips if they are scheduled and attending the day of the trip. It is my responsibility to review field trip information. Occasionally, walking trips will be optional and open to student choice.

IMMUNIZATION RECORDS:

 Minnesota law requires children enrolled in child care to be immunized against certain diseases or file a legal medical or conscientious exemption.  I agree to electronically turn these in for my child to: Recplus@minneapolisparks.org within 30 days of my contract being accepted each season (school year or summer). Records must be received prior to the start date of care.
