Snacks are provided daily during normal school year. Children can bring snack from home; however, it must be unopened. No left-over lunch food will be allowed. On half days and during the summer programs, participants must bring a healthy bag/cooler lunch and drink. If a participant forgets or leaves lunch at home, we will call parent/guardian to bring a lunch to the program site. Perishables are discouraged due to their tendency to spoil during the day. We do not allow CANDY, GUM, and/OR CANDY BARS to be consumed during the program unless dispensed by the staff for special occasions.

Procedures will include calling 911, contact a parent/guardian or an emergency contact if the parent/guardian can not be reached. If a child (ren) needs emergency medical transportation, a staff member will make parent/guardian aware and accompany the child to the medical facility if allowed.

All serious accidents or incidents involving participants MUST BE REPORTED IMMEDIATELY. The parent of the child and Program Manager will be contacted immediately. If a child is injured seriously and 911 must be called, the program leader or aide will accompany the child in the ambulance. All accidents are documented. Each parent/guardian will be notified if their child (ren) is/are injured during the program. Routine and minor injuries will be handled in house (i.e., a scraped knee or bruised elbow). The rescue squad will be called if a serious injury is suspected. The parents or emergency contact will be notified immediately. They City will not accept responsibility for any medical services needed.

During the normal school year and school closes early, SAP will open immediately; however, we request that you pick up your child as soon as possible. If schools close for the entire day (this will be announced on radio and TV), the School Age Programs CLOSE. If school openings are delayed (example: 1 hour or 2 hour delay) there will be no A.M. Program that day, however, the afternoon program will be held as scheduled.

Each family is encouraged to have an alternate plan of action in case of early program dismissal due to bad weather or in the event of an emergency. Decisions to close will be made by the Director of Parks and Recreation. Staff will try to contact parent/guardian individually and or announcements will be made on local radio stations. If you have any questions, please contact the SAP office at 728-3270.

If abuse or neglect is suspected, center staff will contact the Program Manager. The Program Manager investigates and determines course of action. The Program Manager calls Child Protective Services for guidance or to file complaint if necessary.

It is the responsibility of the participant to keep up with all personal items. The City is not accountable for any personal items that are lost or stolen. Please have your child (ren) leave toys, video games, etc. at home, this will keep the object from becoming lost, stolen or broken. We will have enough activities to keep your child (ren) occupied.

The Hampton Parks and Recreation Department is not responsible for staff child-sitting for parents and/or guardians before or after program hours. Any such arrangement is totally separate from Hampton Parks and Recreation's programs and should not be conducted in our facilities.

I/We DO (by initialing) or DO NOT (by not initialing) consent to, and authorize the Hampton Parks and Recreation School Age Program to reproduce and/or publish pictures or likeness of my child (ren), for the purpose of advertising or otherwise encouraging public participation in the Hampton Parks and Recreation School Age Programs or any other city recreation program.
