PURPOSE
PACT volunteers may use the nursery for their children when volunteering on the Elementary Campus based on the established guidelines.
The following guidelines will apply at all times:
- A maximum time limit of three consecutive hours per day.
- Depending on PACT volunteer needs, some exceptions may be made to the volunteer's length of time to utilize the nursery. Exceptions to the time length must be approved by the Nursery Coordinator and the Volunteer Coordinator.
- PACT Charter School's Sick Child Policy applies (see PACT Family Handbook).
- The volunteer must take their children with them if they leave the school grounds for any reason.
- Playground use while in the care of the Nursery Coordinator will not be allowed due to safety concerns.
- Ages three months to kindergarten (5 or 6 years old) will be given priority. However, school-aged children will be allowed if approved in advance.
- The school nursery will be open on an as-needed basis during school days. The nursery may also be staffed during committee meetings and during after-school events upon request.
- Volunteers interested in utilizing the nursery must sign up ahead of time. Due to the limited space and the need to keep adult/child ratios low, priority will be given to children who have signed up in advance. If the need arises for extra nursery care, an attempt may be made to recruit volunteer nursery care.
- Parents are asked to call at least an hour before their scheduled nursery time if they no longer need the nursery.
