4 Sunday School Safety All Preschool and Children's Sunday School classes require every child s parent, or grandparent to complete an Enrollment Form for each new child brought to class. Please see that the information is complete and regularly updated with any changes. This form gives the teachers necessary information to keep your child safe. In addition, you are required weekly to Sign-In your child to their Sunday School class and Sign them out when picking them up. If you have taken a beeper (all parents of PS I children must take one) please remember to return it to PS I when you pick up your child. Beepers are available for sign-out in PS I for any parent who needs them. We look forward to your child being in Sunday School every week, though we are encouraging you to NOT bring sick children (no fevers, rashes, productive coughs, eye discharge, or purulent nasal discharge). Their little germs not only infect the other children, but their Sunday School teachers as well. Please label your child's belongings, ie. cups, bottles, blankets and diaper bags (keep medicines out of diaper bags). Children often wish to bring a toy to Sunday School. Let them know that we encourage children to keep it safe and put away during class since all children will want to share in the joy. When picking up your child from Sunday School, please knock and wait outside the door for your child to be brought to you. Only you or your designated pick-up person (as noted on the Sign-In sheet) will be allowed to take the child from the classroom. This process is to keep all children safe during the dismissal process. Please be considerate of every Sunday School teacher by picking up your child immediately after class/worship. Our teachers try their best, especially with other church responsibilities to be in the classroom when your child is dropped off. If by chance there is no adult in the classroom, please do not leave your child alone in the room, but stay until the teacher or designated substitute arrives to assume responsibility. Any questions, concerns please contact Arlene Hull. With your help we can ensure the safety of all our Sunday School children. You have entrusted us with your child s safety, and we take this responsibility seriously. If you have any questions or concerns please call Arlene Hull, C: Thank you, Mrs. Arlene B. Hull Sunday School Director
