Equal Access The City of Cambridge, Department of Human Service Programs/Community Schools Division does not discriminate in providing services on the basis of race, religion, national origin, cultural heritage, political beliefs, sexual preferences, marital status or disability. The Department of Human Services will provide auxiliary aids and services, written materials in alternative formats, and reasonable modifications in policies and procedures to qualified individuals with disabilities upon request. For more information, call 617-349-2000 (voice) or 617-492-0235.

Inclusion Policy Department of Human Service Programs welcome individuals with disabilities in all of Out of School Time Programs. DHSP will provide reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities who meet the basic eligibility requirements of the OST Programs or who with the provision of reasonable accommodations will be able to meet the basic eligibility requirements to facilitate equal participation for those individuals in existing OST Programs. Behavior Policy When a child’s behavior has been unusually difficult or disruptive, the CS director will communicate with the child’s parents/guardian about the incident(s). The goal of this conversation is to solicit their insights into the causes of the behavior. Parents/guardians’ cooperation and support is an important part of resolving any behavior problems. If the problem persists, a parent/guardian conference will be scheduled to discuss the problem and formulate an action plan for addressing the problem behavior in the classroom. In cases where a child’s behavior poses a threat to his/her own safety or the safety of others, with the recommendation of the Program Manager and the Division Head, the child may be removed from the group or program for a period of time. Before the child may return to the program, a conference will be held with the Director, Program Manager, parents/guardians, and in some cases, the child, to determine whether it is appropriate for a child to continue in the program. When it is appropriate for a child to continue in the program, an action plan will be created and implemented. In some cases, this action plan may include recommended counseling for the child. If the standards for safe participation in the program with the existing staff/child ratios cannot be met, the parent/guardian may be asked to withdraw the child from the program. In any case of withdrawal / termination, the DHSP staff will work with the parent/guardian to provide appropriate closure for the child. If a child has been suspended from the regular school day the child may not attend Community School programming.

Community Schools Bus Policy

The Community School Programs offer afterschool enrichment classes in every elementary school in Cambridge. Most children attend the classes at the Community School located in their school building. Some families prefer to have their children attend classes in the school building located in their neighborhood. If an established bus route exists from a child’s school to the preferred Community School, very often the Cambridge Public Schools are able to transport children to that Community School. Parents/guardians need to make transportation arrangements with the Cambridge Public Schools.

In an effort to support families, beginning this year a staff person from Community Schools will be available in front of the school to greet children under the age of 9 arriving by bus and will escort them into the school. Children age 9 and older who have parental permission may enter the school on their own. To avoid disrupting ongoing classes and to support children’s full participation in the enrichment classes, children must arrive no earlier than 15 minutes prior to the start of Community School Program and no later than 1 hour past the program start time. For a breakdown by school of the times that children may arrive for programs, please refer to the schedule below:
