Inside Your Handbook:

GLAD YOU ARE HERE! Welcome to the Columbia 21st Century Community

Learning Center @ Happy House, Inc. Our grant-funded

program is provided through the Columbia School District

by the Florida Department of Education for high-quality

after school programming for local elementary students.

Happy House and the District share resources in order to

provide project-based learning (PBL) opportunities, adult

family member services, physical fitness/health activities,

tutoring services, homework help and coordination with

students’ regular-school day teachers.

This Family Handbook contains information in addition to

the Happy House, Inc. Handbook that you may have

already received. It provides the guidelines for successful

participation in the program. Please read through this

handbook. If you have questions, please ask our 21st CCLC

staff, call one of our 21st Leadership Team members and/

or visit our website.

http://columbia21stcclc.com

Please keep this handbook as a reference. Throughout the

handbook, the term "the student's parent" means parent,

legal guardian or other person who has agreed to assume

after school-related responsibility for a student.

Welcome!

The Columbia County School District does not discriminate on the

basis of race, color, national origin, gender, age disability or marital

status in its educational programs, services or activities, or in its

hiring or employment practices. The district also provides equal access

to its facilities to the Boy Scouts and other patriotic youth groups, as

required by the Boy Scouts of America Equal Access Act. Questions,

PROGRAM MISSION

The mission of our program is to align with your student’s regular school day activities

and to help close any achievement gap he/she may have. We do this by providing

engaging and fun project-based learning opportunities where students explore,

discover and develop academically. Also the program purposefully helps students

cultivate skills for lifelong health, fitness and positive community living.

HOURS, DAYS, AND MONTHS OF OPERATION

The 21st CCLC program operates from school

dismissal until 6 p.m., Monday through

Friday on regular school days. The program

will follow the school’s calendar and is

adjusted for holidays and teacher workdays

based on the District calendar. The program

is also open on most non-school days from

7:30 a.m.– 4:30 p.m. Summer days are 7:30

a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday- Thursday.

VERY IMPORTANT:

OUR FUNDING FOR THIS FREE

PROGRAM IS DIRECTLY TIED TO

OUR STUDENTS’ AND PARENTS’

ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION

IN ALL COMPONENTS OF THE

PROGRAM.

STUDENTS AND/OR PARENTS WHO

DO NOT MEET THE MINIMUM

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS WILL

BE WITHDRAWN FROM THE 21ST

CCLC AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM.

DEPARTURE AND RELEASE PROCEDURES

For the safety of your student, you must

enter the building and sign your student in

and out of our program. This is also in

compliance with state licensing. Your photo

ID may be required for the release of your

student. Your student will only be released

to his/her parent and/or person who is

designated for pick-up on the enrollment

forms. If you need to make changes to the

pick-up list, it should be submitted in

writing to the Happy House office. If a

parent is not allowed to pick up a student,

Happy House must have a copy of the court

order signed by a judge. Without legal

documentation, we are obligated to release

your student to either parent. Happy House

and program staff will only follow what the

court order states.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

Program staff members are trained in basic

emergency procedures. Necessary responses

to natural disasters (hurricanes, tornadoes)

and fire escape routes are included in the

training. Monthly fire drills and periodic

tornado drills are done and documented.

In case of inclement weather, the 21st

CCLC program will follow recommendations

given by the Columbia County School. If the

District schools close, the 21st CCLC

program will likely be closed also. Other

Happy House programs may be open.

If the weather begins to worsen during the

day, we will ask you to pick up your student

as soon as possible so our staff members

may get home safely.

What Is FERPA?

FERPA stands for the Family Educational

Rights and Privacy Act (sometimes called

the Buckley Amendment). Passed by

Congress in 1974, the act grants specific

rights to students and/or parents/guardians.

RIGHTS OF STUDENTS AND PARENTS:

The rights of students and their parents

with respect to education records created,

maintained, or used by public educational

institutions and agencies shall be protected

in accordance with FERPA, 20 U.S.C. s.

1232g.

In order to maintain the eligibility of public

educational institutions and agencies to

receive federal funds and participate in

federal programs, the State Board of

Education shall comply with the FERPA

after the board has evaluated and

determined that the FERPA is consistent

with the following principles:

(a) Students and their parents shall have

the right to access their education records,

including the right to inspect and review

those records.

(b) Students and their parents shall have

the right to waive their access to their

education records in certain

circumstances.

(c) Students and their parents shall have

the right to challenge the content of

education records in order to ensure that

the records are not inaccurate, misleading,

or otherwise a violation of privacy or

other rights.

d) Students and their parents shall have

the right of privacy with respect to such

records and reports.

e) Students and their parents shall

receive annual notice of their rights with

respect to education records.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

In order to protect the health of all students in our care, please keep your student at home if

you notice that he/she begins to show signs of an illness or contagious disease or if he/she

feels too ill to participate in a group setting. Please let us know as soon as possible if your

student does have a communicable illness or infection. This will allow us to notify the parents

of other students attending our program. Your student will need a note from his or her doctor

before returning to the program.

If your student has a fever or becomes ill during the program day, we will contact you

immediately for pickup.

Weather permitting, students go outside everyday. Our staff is fully committed during

program hours and no one is available to stay inside with one student due to illness.

In case of injury, parents/guardians or one of the contacts listed on your child’s enrollment

forms will be notified immediately.

Please note: While we genuinely care about your student's health, medication will not be

administered on-site by any 21st CCLC or Happy House staff member.

MEDICAL EMERGENCY

In the case of a medical emergency, we will make every reasonable effort to contact you

immediately. If we are unable to reach you right away we will call the individuals you have

listed on the pick-up list. In extreme situations, we may call 911 also.

Responding emergency medical personnel will make any determinations if your student should

be transported to a hospital. We will provide them with the information from your student’s

records as to your choice of hospital and physician. In the event that this information is not

specified, the student will be transported to the nearest available hospital.

School and Illness: Should My Student Stay Home?

When you are deciding whether to keep your sick student out of school, the two most

important things to think about are:

1. Does my student’s illness keep him/her from comfortably taking part in activities?

2. Does my student need more care than the staff can give without affecting the health and

safety of other students?

If the answer to either of these questions is yes, then your student should not go to

school or the after school program. If you send your student to school and/or afterschool

program, staff may not allow your son or daughter stay.

3. A third question to ask is: Could other students get sick from being near my student?

Most common illnesses, like a cold, are not really harmful. Other students can catch

illnesses before, during or after your son or daughter is sick. Making your sick son or

daughter stay home may not really prevent other students from getting sick.

Project-based Learning for development of STEM skills and knowledge

Collaboration with school day teachers to reinforce skills and content our students are covered in their regular school day in the areas of language arts, math, science, and social studies. Research supports this strategy in that students make assessment gains.

Homework Help and Small-group Tutoring

Personal Enrichment Activities in Health and Fitness

Development of Community Awareness and Our Responsibility as Citizens

AREAS OF FOCUS FOR 21st CCLC STUDENTS

These are the core elements of the program:

HOMEWORK HELP!

Forty-five minutes of homework time is provided Monday -Thursday from 3:15 p.m. to 5:15 p.m.

The 21st CCLC Staff assists students with homework when needed, but will not be able

to check each assignment. Please check it when you get home!

We will provide basic supplies as needed, such as paper, pencils, crayons, glue, and rulers.

We believe that your student benefits from that time spent with the YOU going over

homework assignments together.

Project Based Learning is a research based teaching method where students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to a complex question. Essential Elements of PBL include:

Significant Content - The project is focused on teaching students important knowledge and skills, derived from standards and key concepts at the heart of academic subjects.

21st Century Competencies - Students build competencies valuable for today’s world, such as problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration, creativity communication, and innovation, which are explicitly taught and assessed.

In-Depth Inquiry - Students engage in an extended, rigorous process of asking questions, using resources, and developing answers.

Driving Question - Project work is focused by an open-ended question that students understand and find intriguing, which captures their task or frames their exploration.

Need to Know - Students see a need to gain knowledge, understand concepts, and apply skills in order to answer the Driving Question and create project products, beginning with an Entry Event that generates interest and curiosity.

Voice and Choice - Students are allowed to make some choices about the products to be created, how they work, and how they use their time, guided by the teacher and depending on age level and PBL experience.

Critique and Revision - The project includes processes for students to give and receive feedback on the quality of their work, leading them to make revisions or conduct further inquiry.

Public Audience - Students present their work to other people, beyond their classmates and teacher. www.bie.org

DISMISSALS

We will begin dismissal at 5:45 p.m. during the school year.

In the summer dismissal will begin at 4:15 p.m. If you need additional hours of care, you MUST make arrangements with Happy House.

VERY IMPORTANT!

Fees for care IN ADDITION TO

the 21st CCLC program time

will be YOUR

RESPONSIBILITY.

You MUST pick up your student from a staff member and MUST sign them out. This is a safety issue and there will be NO exceptions.

Please be aware that only the persons on your pickup list will be allowed to pickup your student (unless we are notified in writing) and those persons should be prepared to show ID. All persons picking up a student must be at least 16 years of age.

All students MUST be picked up by 6:00 p.m. In the event your student has not been picked up within thirty (30) minutes of the stated closing time, 21st CCLC staff members may call Children’s Protective Services.

Also if a student is repeatedly being picked up late, the program reserves the right to terminate/suspend the student’s enrollment in the program.

We encourage you to not let this happen. We want you and

your student here with us!

Program Rules for Students!

All rules are basic steps in order to protect others or property and to maintain a safe and orderly environment.

Check in daily with program staff.

Place your backpack neatly in your assigned area. All items MUST be tucked in the backpack.

Pick up your own trash from meal time and dispose of it in the trash cans provided.

No hitting, pushing, poking, or other inappropriate touching.

Bullying of any kind is NOT tolerated and will be dealt with immediately!

Use respect when talking to other students and all program staff.

Use positive language.

Always treat equipment and materials with respect and gentle hands!

Take pride in yourself and your environment and strive to keep areas clean and neat.

ALWAYS, ALWAYS check-out with your team leader before leaving for the day! Your parent or guardian must always let your teacher know that you are going home, so please stay with your group until you are officially signed out!

Rules of Conduct and Compliance for Parents/Guardians!

All rules are basic rules to protect others or property and to maintain a safe and orderly environment for your student, volunteers, and program staff.

Non-compliance of following the parent rules may also be considered “just cause” to remove your student from the program.

PLEASE USE RESPECT WHEN TALKING TO OUR PROGRAM STAFF, STUDENTS (even yours) AND OTHER VISITORS. The best time to discuss an issue is NOT when our staff is working with and supervising your student and other students.

Remember you MUST have your photo ID available at all times in order to pick up your student. After we get to know our parents/guardians, we may not ask for them everyday. But until that time please be prepared to present them at anytime. This also applies to anyone else picking up your student at anytime.

All persons picking up a student MUST be on the pickup list and MUST be over the age of 16 years. Please do not ask us to make exceptions!

All persons, picking up a student, MUST come inside and be ready to present ID!

Please do let anyone in as you exit the site not or prop gates open at any time.

If you have a concern, please call or come to the Happy House

Office to discuss the issue.

Attendance Matters!

Columbia 21st

Century Learning

Center @ Happy

House, Inc.

Please understand the Columbia 21st CCLC program is an after school academic and personal

enrichment program that is federally funded and is offered at no charge to your family.

Daily attendance is required and our records are monitored monthly in order to

receive continuous funding. Therefore, it is necessary for students enrolled in the

Columbia 21st CCLC @ Happy House program to stay and participate for the full

day- three (3) hours per day, five (5) days each week. The schedule for summer days

and other non-school holidays is 7:30 a.m. and ends at 4:30 p.m.

Early pickups are disruptive to the program and make it difficult for your student to receive the

full benefit of the program. Please understand that if your student is picked up early regularly,

they may be withdrawn from the program for the remainder of the year.

We understand things come up from time to

time, but unexcused absences or excessive

early pick-ups WILL result in your student being

removed from the program.

Three (3) or more unexcused absences in a

thirty (30) school day period may result in

your student being removed from active

status and placed back on the waiting list.

We are asking participants to maintain a

95% attendance rate.

This is a STATE OF FLORIDA requirement.

Excused absences are: doctor appointment (with

verification i.e. doctor’s note, appointment card),

occasional regular-school day functions (plays,

field trips etc.), a death or other serious event in

the family, or religious holidays.

Please notify the Happy House office before

3:00 p.m. if your student will not be

attending the program on a given day.

Also provide follow-up with a written verification

within three (3) days containing the date, the

reason for the absence, and your signature. We

must keep this notification in your student’s file.

We value each of our

families and have no desire

to lose a single one, but our

grant requires that every

student attends regularly.

If you decide the program is

not right for your family,

PLEASE notify the Happy

House Office in writing as

soon as possible so another

student on the waiting list

can be enrolled.

ADULT FAMILY MEMBERS PARTICIPATION IN PROGRAM AND VOLUNTEERING

Research repeatedly shows that when parents and guardians actively and positively participate in their

student’s educational activities in school AND at home.

As a participant in the Columbia 21st CCLC program, adult family members (parents/guardians) are

REQUIRED to be an active partner in the following:

1. EVERYONE MUST PARTICIPATE in PARENT AND STUDENT FAMILY NIGHTS/WORKSHOPS!

Every adult family member must attend a minimum of TWO events per semester. There is a schedule

to help you plan your calendar. The monthly workshops are designed to be fun and informative and to

build the partnership between you, 21st CCLC, regular school and your student for academic success.

Other Ways Adult Family Members May Participate:

1. Career Days- Parents are invited in to share information about their jobs with students. We

encourage as many parents as possible to participate in this activity to give our students a wide

variety of options to choose from. Please let us know if you are interested in sharing your career.

2. Parent/Community Advisory Board- Parents, community members, school and program staff, and

students (as appropriate) meet quarterly to share current successes and challenges and to come up

with new resources and ideas for meet these challenges and ways to maintain high quality services.

3. Student Showcases and other Events- Your family will be invited several times per year to attend a

performance by the students, or other family event.

4. Volunteering- Because of the unique partnership between the school district and Happy House,

parents and/or guardians will need to complete paperwork required by both agencies. The District

will follow the volunteer guidelines for performing background checks and obtaining board approval.

The link for obtaining a volunteer application is: http:/ /columbia.k12.fl.us/VolApp14-15.pdf.

Happy House follows strict DCF guidelines before an adult is allowed to volunteer at the site. This en-

sures the safety of your student as well as all others. Thank you for being patient while we process your

volunteer application.

PROCEDURES FOR PARENT INTERACTION VISITING, COMMUNICATION, AND CONFERENCES

Columbia 21st CCLC adult family members are welcome visitors to our

program. For safety reasons, you must sign in at the office other than

drop-off/pick-up visits. Please check daily for posted notices, flyers or

other information about program activities. We appreciate input regarding

program expectations, suggestions, ideas and comments on ways to

improve our services to you and your family. Please direct these to our

Columbia 21st CCLC staff or through our website.

FIELD TRIPS

We will be involved in field trips at various times during the

year. Students should have an 80% attendance rate in order

to participate in a Columbia 21st CCLC field trip. A general

permission form was included in the application packet, but

parents will receive a permission form for parent signature

prior to each trip. You will receive a permission form for

parent/guardian signature prior to each trip.

Parent/Guardian permission is required before a student can

participate in a field trip. It is absolutely necessary to secure

parental permission otherwise your student will not be able

to participate on the field trip.

Also, please note appropriate school behavior or failure to

comply with program goals can result in denial of field trip

privileges. Staff members are responsible for verifying signed

permission slips.
