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. The staff is not there
to tutor or work one on one with your child on their homework. 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!

Dispensing Medication Policy
Strict policies have been put in place regarding the dispensing of medication to participants. These
policies must be followed if a participant is required to receive medication while in the program.
This includes restrictions for any over the counter medications (including cough drops and pain
relievers) and any prescription medication. Parents/Guardians are required to complete a “Request
to Administer Medication Form” for any and all medication to be administered to participants by
Kids’ Zone staff or by the participants themselves. This form requires a physician’s signature.
• All medication is required to be in the original container whose prescription label must include
patient’s name, physician’s name, pharmacy name, name of medication and complete dosage
information.
• Each day the proper dosage should be sent in the original container. If original container is not
available, parent should try to obtain a new one from physician or pharmacy.
• Parent/Guardian must sign and complete a “Request to Administer Medication” form. This form
requires a physician’s signature.
• Medication will be stored in a secure area at temperature consistent with package instructions.
• Participants must have a medical release form for medication such as inhalers and Epi-pen.
• With the exception of Epi-pens and inhalers, only oral medicine may be administered.
Staff may not dispense suppositories or shots (diabetic).
