Safe Child Policy and Protections
for Kindergarten through 6th Grade Sunday School Children
PLEASE READ for updated information regarding revised sign-in and sign-out procedures for our kindergarten through 6th grade Sunday School children.
Our Church Council recently adopted a revised Safe Child Policy and Protections document.
For the safety of our children, all parents or guardians are to complete a Student Information Form for their Sunday School aged children. Forms are available on our website and at the Sunday School sign-in table.
Sunday School begins at 10:15am. On Sunday mornings, all Sunday School families are to enter the building through door #4 on the north side of the courtyard or from the Sanctuary. Parents or guardians will sign-in their child(ren) and indicate who will be picking them up at dismissal.
Sunday School dismissal is at 11:15am. Parents should enter the building through door #5 and go to the Fellowship Hall where our kindergarten through 6th grade students will be gathered with their teachers and classmates. The only people allowed to sign out a child will be the parent or guardian who dropped off the child, or the person indicated by them on the sign-in sheet. With parental permission, students in 7th grade or older may sign out a younger sibling.
**All Confirmation and High School students are expected to sign themselves in at the sign-in table and go to their classrooms. Student Information Forms are also available for these students and can be found on our website or the sign-in table.
We appreciate your cooperation with our efforts to keep all of our children safe. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to Pastor Elise.
