Club members will be in groups for Power Hour and programming based on the grade they are enrolled in the 22-23 school year. A schedule will be posted on the parent board at each site for more specific information that will be taking place.  BGC is not responsible for making transportation arrangements with the school.

Operational Hours and Facilities: ALL SITES will be open until 6:30 pm, Monday through Friday. Transportation will not be provided from school-based sites to Middle School Unit or other school-based sites.  Camp days will be at the Middle School Unit @ 1306 Victory School Lane open 7:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. to any members who are enrolled in the 22-23 school year.

Drop Off & Pick Up Policies: Each site will have a different procedure depending on the physical layout of each school.  Parents will not be required to sign out their children.  Special provisions can be made for parents with newborns during inclement weather or other extenuating circumstances. If a person is not listed on your child’s membership forms as an authorized person to pick up your child, we cannot release your child to them. Please make sure to bring a photo ID the first few times you pick up a member. Middle School members are required to stay until 4:00p.m.

Discipline Procedures: Step 1 will be a warning to the child. Step 2 is sentences or other appropriate consequences for the child. Step 3 will be a time out of program or In-Club Service. Step 4 your child will have an administrative meeting with the child and a parent. Step 5 is suspension. Fighting, destruction of property, refusal to cooperate with staff, or vandalism will result in immediate suspension. If a member poses a threat to their own safety or safety of others, they may be placed on a behavior management plan. This plan provides notice and accountability to avoid permanent suspension.  If your child is suspended from their attending school district, they are not allowed to attend BGC due to club being on school property.

Member Safety: Your Child’s Safety is Paramount at the Boys & Girls Club. It is necessary to keep updated information on our club members and their parents. Please inform BGC front desk staff any member information changes such as phone number, address, authorized pick up list, etc. In the event of an emergency causing evacuation, BGC has an emergency preparedness plan in place at each site that will be followed. Do not send your child to club if they are sick. BGC cannot store, dispense, or apply medicine. If your child has a temperature over 98.6, parents will be notified. Once a child’s temperature reaches 100 degrees the child must be picked up immediately. In the event of an emergency, BGCPB will follow best practices per state licensing guidelines. 

Other Notes: Do not allow your child to bring personal technology devices to club. BGC is not responsible for lost or stolen items. If a child changes schools, please inform BGC to check for availability. (We cannot guarantee there will be a spot available at their new school.) Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and visit bgcpb.org. You will be notified by Thursday, August 18th if your child has been accepted into our program.
