PICKING UP YOUR TEEN DURING A SESSION The following safety rules will apply: Only a parent may pick up a teen during FF. Parent must go directly to Viviana Lasher, DRE; for safety purposes only the DRE is allowed to remove a teen once the session begins. If, in the event of an emergency, you send someone else to pick up your teen, they must know a telephone number where you can be reached. This person must follow the same guidelines as previously stated. Your teen will not be released until the DRE has verified your wishes by a phone call. DISCIPLINE POLICY You will be contacted in the event of repeated misbehavior, and we will work together to resolve the issue. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES In the event of predicted severe weather, session cancellations will be sent via text thru Flock Note. In the event of severe weather during a session, we will remain in the Conference Room and will text you through Flock Note with pick-up instructions when weather conditions improve. In any event, if you as the parent feel that conditions are unsafe for you or your teen, please use your best judgment. WITHDRAWALS Please notify the FF Office at 682-4622, Ext.304
