and youth from four weeks through their senior year in high school, whose sponsors fit into one
or more of the following categories: Active Duty Military, Civilian Employees (GS, NAF, DoD
Contractors), National Guard, and Reservist.
Parent responsibilities include:
Every child must be accompanied to the assigned teaching area by a parent or guardian.
Children should not arrive more than ten minutes prior to the start time of the class. For safety
reasons, it is not a good idea to just drop off y our child and expect the instructor or some other
adult to supervise your child until class starts.
Every effort should be made to pick up your child after the class is over. Instructors
should not be expected to keep you child longer than the scheduled duration of the class.
If your child is sick, please do not bring him or her to class. Your child will not get
much out of the class and may pass on the illness to others.
If is important to provide your child’s instructor with a cell number or other phone
number at which you can be reached and an emergency contact name and number in case you are
not available.
Please notify the instructor if your child has any special needs or issues. This will
assist the instructor in providing the best possible learning experience for you child.
It will help greatly if your child takes care of restroom needs prior to the beginning of
each class. To prevent possible child abuse, your child will not be allowed to leave the class to
go to the restroom unless accompanied by an instructor, CYS staff person, or you the parent.
Please emphasize good manners and consideration of others. If your child’s behavior
in class is a distraction to learning, the instructor will contact you for a conference. If the
behavior continues to disrupt the class, you may be asked to remove your child from the class.
Make sure your child has the materials, clothing, shoes, or equipment required for his
or her class.
If your child is unable to attend a class, please notify the instructor, in advance, if
possible.

school holidays or federal holidays. Please check with the instructor for information on
cancellations due to holidays. If possible, opportunities will be provided to make up missed
classes.
