The security and safety of our K-12 student participants is THE
first priority during the MLK Program! In order to ensure their
safety we implement several measures during the registration and pick-up
times in addition to regular precautions during the day's activities.
Listed below are these measures and precautions. Please take a few
moments to become familiar with them before the day of the event.
- Children ages 4 and under MUST be accompanied by an adult
(person over the age of 21) for the duration of the program.
- Students ages 5 to 17 may be dropped off for the 6 and 1/2 hour day
as
long as the responsible parent/guardian completes the registration form
with all required information (either online or at the walk-in
table).
- All registration forms must be signed, in person, by the listed
authorized & responsible adult/parent/guardian.
- Students left in the care of the MLK Program will not be released
without the return of proper paperwork given at the time of
drop-off.
- In an effort to expedite drop-off and pick-up times we do not
require validation of adult picture ID. Instead, we give a form (known
as the Fact Sheet) to the parent/guardian at time of drop-off. This form
will be verified & initialed as each student is brought to his or her
classroom. This same form is to be brought back by the "pick-up adult",
and given to MLK program personnel in exchange for retrieving listed
child(ren)/student(s).
- Parents/guardians sometimes need to have a different adult pick up
their child(ren) at the end of the program. As long as the adult picking
up the child(ren) has the initialed form, we know they are the authorized
adult to which we may release listed child(ren). It is the
responsibility of the "drop-off parent/guardian" to ensure that the
"pick-up adult" has the necessary form. (We will accept facsimile
copies.)
- If & when students are not properly retrieved by 3:30pm and MLK
personnel cannot get in contact with parent/guardian, then Department
of Public Safety will be contacted.
- Plastic gloves are used to set up lunch in the classrooms.
- A complete First Aid Kit is located at the registration table.
Smaller kits, which include gloves, bandaids, and anticeptic are placed
in each classroom.
- During entertainment performances, in the
auditorium, safety monitors are available for emergency needs.
- Students are accompanied to the restrooms and back to the classrooms
by safety monitors.
- Items of value should be left with parent/guardian, and not brought
into the program, as we are not responsible for lost or stolen
items.
