Snack and Allergies

  • ACPS provided snacks are available to all After-School Enrichment Program participants.

  • If your child has a medical condition and/or allergy, serious or not, please indicate this at the time of registration. Program providers will be given an allergy list of students participating in their class.
  • Note: We do not have access to the health office during Enrichment programs, however, our On-Site Coordinators are trained to store and administer medication safely.

Standards of Behavior

  • We want to ensure that all students participating in the before and after-school enrichment programs enjoy the experience. In order for this to happen, it is expected that all students will conform to regular George Mason ES classroom and school rules and regulations while attending a program. The providers are all experienced Instructors and will use accepted classroom management techniques to allow misbehaving children to adjust. If a child continues to have difficulties, he or she will be removed from the class and be placed with the On-Site Programs Coordinator who will decide if and when to return the child to class that day. The On-Site Programs Coordinator will also inform the parents about the situation.
  • If a child is removed from a class a second time, that child will be withdrawn from that class for the remainder of the session. The School will be informed of this decision. No partial refunds will be given in these situations. We look to all parents to support our class providers so that all children can enjoy the after-school classes. 

 

  • Certain behaviors will not be tolerated.  These behaviors may include, but are not limited to: consistent disruption in class; any inappropriate physical contact (i.e. hitting, kicking); blatant disrespect toward the Instructor or other students; a refusal to listen to Instructions; the use of inappropriate language; and/or destruction of property.
  • Here at Baroody Camps, we want to foster a learning environment where all students feel safe and secure. With this being said, any incidents of bullying including, but not limited to: name calling, assault of any kind, verbal and nonverbal threats, throwing objects, cornering other students and/or intimidating behaviors, taunting, discriminatory statements or behavior, or exclusion from activities will result in the first and only warning. After the first warning, any future behavioral issues will result in immediate removal from the class for the remainder of the session. Baroody Camps will not offer any partial refunds in these situations. Enforcement of this policy is at the discretion of Baroody Camps and their partners.
