Guidelines for those registered under Megan's Law

To ensure the safety of the Pre-School students, siblings and other children, no persons registered under Megan’s Law will be permitted on school/church property.

Guidelines for Persistent Inappropriate Behavior

Persistent inappropriate behavior is any inappropriate behavior which continues after the progressive guidance steps have been used; any behavior which threatens the health or safety of other children or staff; or a continuous inability to conform to the rules and guidelines of our program. We will use the following progressive procedures:

1. We will observe and record the child's inappropriate behavior.

2. We will document what we have done to try to change the behavior.

3. If inappropriate behavior continues, parents will be asked to participate in an immediate parent-teacher conference. A specific action plan will be developed at this conference to address the behavior. The action plan will outline all steps the staff will take to try to change the behavior, all steps the parents will take, and all steps toward disenrollment if the behavior persists.

4. The Director may suggest outside resources to parents and we will work with any outside resource for further guidance in responding to the child's behavior.

5. If the inappropriate behavior continues, parents will be asked to keep the child home for a day or two.

6. If the inappropriate behavior persists after the child is kept home for several occasions, we will request that the child disenroll.

Guidelines for Immediate Disenrollment

Certain behavior may cause a significant risk of harm to the health and safety of other children or staff. (For example, a physical assault which results in serious bodily injury, an attempted physical assault which if completed, would result in serious bodily injury, substantial damage to school or personal property, etc.).

We may disenroll any child whose behavior creates a significant risk of harm to the health and safety of other children or staff, without following the guidance steps outlined above.

Weapons of any kind are forbidden.  If a weapon is brought to school, disciplinary action will be taken.
