ATTENDANCE

In order to ensure an equitable and smooth running program, all parents are responsible for remembering their own co-oping days.  To ensure the safety of all children, our ratio is 1 adult to every five children.  Therefore, your presence is extremely important.  If a parent is unable to co-op due to illness of him/herself or a child or for any other reason, that parent is responsible for finding a substitute by exchanging days with another parent.  This should be done as far in advance as possible to avoid last-minute confusion and changes.  When a change is made, the teacher and newsletter coordinator should be notified.  In addition, the posted schedule in the classroom should be changed and initialed by the parties involved.  In an emergency, the co-oper should contact the emergency parent as listed on the schedule.  Caregivers or members of the extended family may not be used as substitutes.
