Kids’ Zone Information
Newsletters, Activity and Snack Calendars
A monthly newsletter and activity / snack calendar will be available at your child’s site and online at
genevaparks.org. Children with food allergies or restrictions are always welcome to bring their own
snack. We follow the District 304 allergy plan.
Homework Policy
There is 30 minutes of scheduled quiet time each day for homework. Please note: it is not Kids’ Zone’s responsibility
to ensure that any child does their homework. The staff is happy to remind and encourage your child that it is time
to do their homework, but staff will not force them to do so. Also, please note, our staff is not available
to individually tutor children. This program has been designed to be a fun, recreational program. We want
to make sure to keep that energy and not let it become an extension of the school day. It is important for the
kids to be able to participate in the activities planned because the benefits of recreation are endless!
