JCPRD Technology Policy
JCPRD recognizes that some students are being given school-issued technology that must be transported to and from school. While JCPRD will make a good-faith effort to ensure the safety and security of those items during program hours, a level of personal responsibility on the part of the student is expected.
JCPRD will:
· Offer secure storage for school-issued devices during program hours
Students will:
· Be responsible for turning in device to staff to be secured
· Be responsible for checking in/out the device when it needs to be used for homework purposes during the JCPRD program
· Be responsible for retrieving device before leaving the program
*Devices that are not retrieved at the end of the day will remain in locked storage until the following day during normal business hours. Staff will not be available to retrieve devices outside of normal program hours.

OST SCHEDULE
- Check-In: We will check students in at the Café. If we have not heard from you and your child has not checked in we will immediately call you. Please call me before 3:00p.m. to let me know if your child will be absent. 913-888-0133.
- It is approximately 3:20-3:25 when we can go into gym and wash hands for snack. We need to wait for bus riders to leave.
- Snack: We are very excited to report that we have taken the Commit to Health Pledge! In doing so you can expect to see our out of school time participants engaging in more physical activity, learning about good nutrition, and eating healthier snacks while in attendance at JCPRD. Commit to Health is an initiative of the National Recreation and Park and Association and The Alliance for a Healthier Generation. Our staff has worked hard to develop a new food service menu that features items that are nutrient dense, low in fat, sugar, and sodium, as well as more fresh fruits and vegetables. Please support our efforts to help students develop healthy eating habits by encouraging them to be open to trying new foods and by reinforcing the benefits of nutritious diet. Healthy snacks and meals improve cognitive function, increase energy, and help children grow strong muscles and bones!
- Homes Begin: After snack we breakout into homes and rotate around every 35 minutes. Teachers are assigned to groups and they stay with them the entire day.
- Homework/Reading time: The kids have time to read or do their homework. If they are finished or do not have homework they can participate in different activities we provide in that area. It might include books, word search, coloring, drawing, storytelling by a teacher, card games etc. I continually add new items all year long.
- Activities/Arts/Crafts: We will provide a wide range of activities. Some of them include: Cooking, Art & Crafts, Kid Fit and Science. Kids can choose to participate or engage in another activity of their choice.
- Outside/Gym Time: We believe it is essential for minds and bodies to have mental health breaks and join in on fitness breaks. Weather permitting we will go outside. JCPRD follows the Shawnee Mission school district’s weather policy. Please remember to have your child(ren) layer up and bring a jacket with their name labeled inside it. We will have structured activities for them to do during this time as well as free play.
- Check-Out: When you come to pick up your child(ren) please remember to WALK IN and SIGN THEM OUT. There is a late charge of a $1 per minute after 6:00pm
