to attend the Summer Programming until the balance is paid in full.
Billing and Payment Information

arrangements are made and agreed to in writing.
Summer Safari Policies
These are general policies specific to Summer Safari; please refer to the STRIPES 360 Student/Parent
Handbook for additional policies related to all STRIPES 360 programming.
Bus Conduct
STRIPES 360 will use Republic R-III School District buses for field trips. Students must abide by the bus
discipline policy while attending field trips. It is not only the transportation department's and staff's
responsibility to make each trip a safe and trouble-free trip, but it is also the student's responsibility, with help
from parents, to learn the riding rules and obey them to continue attending field trips. Students should observe
the following guidelines:
1. Be courteous.
2. Do not eat or drink on the bus.
3. Keep the bus clean.
4. Cooperate with the driver.
5. Stay in your seat. The bus driver and STRIPES 360 staff reserve the right to assign specific seating
arrangements as needed.
6. Keep head, hands, and feet inside the bus.
7. Keep all body parts to yourself.
Dress Code
Students should be dressed according to the day's activities and weather. Closed-toe shoes are required; open-
toed shoes (flip-flops or sandals) or Crocs will not be allowed at Summer Safari. Students need to wear gym
shoes every day. Please make sure your student always has socks either on their feet or with them.
Field Trips and Activities
Students will be participating in one-two field trips a week in addition to frequent trips to J.R. Martin Park.
Each field trip will have students off-site for a minimum of 5 hours a day. A field trip calendar with departure
and return times will be provided. Unless otherwise stated on the calendar, all students must be signed-in by
9:00 a.m. Buses will leave promptly at the listed departure time and will not be held if you are running late.
We are unable to care for your student should they arrive late and they miss the bus. Every student attending
Summer Safari will be expected to go on field trips with the entire group.
NOTE: For safety reasons, students may not be dropped off or picked up at the field trip location.
Students will not be permitted to bring spending money unless stated on the field trip calendar. Please
limit this amount to $5.00 and have it in an envelope appropriately labeled with your child's first and last
name. STRIPES 360 staff are not responsible for how students spend their money.
Illness, Injuries, and Student Health Conditions
All staff members are responsible for reporting and ensuring the treatment of a student's injuries.
If a staff member becomes aware of any of the symptoms listed below displayed by a student or a student
complains of not feeling well, the parent or emergency contacts will be called immediately. If you know that
2your student is ill and/or exhibiting any of the following symptoms, please do not bring him/her to STRIPES
360.
● Student has a fever of 100 degrees
● Persistent Cough
● Signs of listlessness or undue fatigue
● Diarrhea or Vomiting
● Generalized rash all over the body or unexplained new rash
● Pink Eye or Conjunctivitis
● Head lice
● Student has soiled their clothing
● Has been exposed to COVID-19 or exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19.
*Note: Students must be fever and symptom-free, without medication, for 24 hours before returning to
programming.
Students who become sick, soil their clothing, or are injured at Summer Safari, should report to a Site Leader.
The Site Leader will assess the student's situation and contact a parent/guardian if the student requires further
medical assistance, needs to go home, or needs a change of clothes. An incident report will be completed for
any accident/injury or health concern. A staff member will obtain the parent(s)' signature acknowledging
receipt of information/notification, and the signed copy will become part of the student's file.
*Note: To prevent being called to pick up a child who has soiled their clothing, please send your child
with an extra change of clothes in their backpack or a zip-lock bag with their name on it. Children who
do not have a change of clothes will be asked to pick up their child as soon as possible.
Medication & Sunscreen
● A special care plan must be completed and on file for students requiring medication use during
programming. Please see the "Special Care Plans" section for more information.
● Only Doctor prescribed, and rescue medications will be administered during summer programming, and
staff will not administer the first dose of any medicine. For the safety of all students and staff, over-the-
counter medications will not be administered.
● Medications must be provided in the original labeled container to a Site Leader with written instructions
on how the medication should be administered. A request to administer medication form needs to be
signed by the parent/guardian.
● Students will not be allowed to self-administer medications.
Students will be outside every day that they attend summer programming. You may want to consider putting
sunscreen on your student before bringing them to programming. If you choose to send sunscreen, please make
sure it is labeled with your student's name. Staff is not responsible for holding sunscreen. If your student needs
assistance in the application of sunscreen, they must have SPRAY sunscreen. They may also have the stick
variety for the face. STRIPES 360 staff will not be permitted to assist with the application of any lotion type
sunscreen.
Snacks & Meals
During Summer Safari, each student will need to bring a lunch from home (insulated lunch boxes are preferred).
Please provide healthy lunches that do not need refrigerated or heated as we do not have access to refrigerators
or microwaves.
3Summer Safari will provide two snacks daily. Students with diet restrictions must provide Summer Safari with
alternate snacks.
Student Check-In

their child(ren) to the door and ring the doorbell. A staff member will come to the door to let your student into
the building. All students must be checked-in by 9:00 a.m.
Student Check-Out
Parents who need to pick-up their child(ren) before 3:00 p.m. will need to call the STRIPES 360 cell phone
number posted on the door and give the staff member your name and the name of the child(ren) you are picking
up. A staff member will then sign your child(ren) out and escort them to the door. Please have a car tag or I.D.
available.
