Policies and Procedures

At Soaring Minds, we strive to enhance your children’s education by providing them with learning opportunities that are exciting, relevant, and unique. Below are some policies and procedures to note about our program.

​

• Students should be dropped off at the designated spot every morning no earlier than 5 minutes before class time. If we leave the drop-off area before you arrive, please refer to the monthly schedule email regarding where we will be that day. If you still don’t know where to find us, please call the designated site supervisor for that location.
• Please make sure your child has a lunch, bottle of water, band-aids, notebook and bag of colored pencils with them EACH week. 
• If your child is sick, please do not bring them to class. If you're being contacted by our supervisor regarding your child's illness, please make arrangement to have your child picked up within an hour. During this hour, your child will be separated from the group and not permitted to participate. It is in your child's best interest that he/she be picked up as soon as possible.
• Late pickups will accrue a $3 fee per minute payable before the next class day. Three late (habitual) pickups will result in expulsion from the program. Families with unpaid late fees will not be permitted to return to class until the balance is paid in full.
• Refunds will only be provided if SME receives a 2-week notice of your plans to withdraw or miss any class days. 
• Students should display their very best manners when in class. This means using their most quiet, indoor voices and keeping their hands to themselves when appropriate. From 9am-2pm, cell phone use is restricted to emergencies ONLY. Please inform your student about this policy, as it will be strictly enforced. Students who repeatedly violate this policy will be asked to leave it at home or find alternative drop-off programming.  
• While we appreciate parents visiting our class days on the first day of drop-off, we cannot allow younger siblings to disrupt the learning environment, therefore younger siblings not enrolled in the program are not allowed in class. SME is a drop-off program for ages 4-17. 
• Eating and drinking is only allowed when we are outdoors (not in museums).

• Dress Code: No showing undergarments (bra straps & underwear). No midriffs or cleavage exposed and no see-through clothing/no tube tops. No offensive (i.e., alcohol/tobacco slogans), suggestive/provocative, or inappropriate words or imagery on clothing. Leggings cannot be worn as pants unless covered by shorts or with a long shirt that covers past the hips. No short shorts (knuckles must reach the bottom of shorts) or skin-tight athletic shorts.
Line procedures:
• Before lining up, students should leave their work area completely clean. In order to increase speaking skills and confidence, we encourage our students to walk up to the instructors and thank them for their time with eye contact. Many of our class days are in public places with lots of activity going on, so students are reminded to pay attention as they walk from one activity to the next.

• Parents, please note that upon enrollment with us for the first time, your child is on a two-week trial to ensure SME is a good fit for all parties involved. 


Thank you for being part of Soaring Minds Education! We love serving our families in an effort to enhance their children’s education. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

SME Expectations

1. Expectations of Students:

​

 

A. Listen to instruction & follow rules. We will be walking from one class to another and participating in workshops run by various educators. It's extremely important that students pay attention to what's going on and follow directions throughout the day.

​

B. All students should be respectful and on task during class times. While we welcome our students collaborating and enjoying their project together, distracting and disrupting behaviors will be discouraged.

 

C. First warning: verbal reminder. 2nd warning: short time away from class activities. 3rd warning: parent to step in and chaperone in the class, or site supervisor will remove student from class for the remaining time. It is not acceptable for any student to negatively interfere with the learning of the other students.

We reserve the right to remove any student who refuses to comply with reasonable behavior standards. Please note: all students will be on 2-week probationary period to ensure SME is a good fit.

2. Expectations of Parents:

​

A. Be courteous to all educators, site supervisor and students. Alert the site supervisor and/or educator of any concerns with any student in class.

 

B. Parents are reminded that our program is completely drop-off. Parents may volunteer at SME, provided they have submitted a Live Scan form, background check, and references. Be mindful of not diverting the attention of students by carrying on conversations with other adults or talking over the voice of educators. We cannot guarantee the location of any open volunteer opportunities. A late fee of $3/minute will be assessed for any late pick-ups.

​

C. If your child will be tardy or absent, please inform us as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly (the minimum numbers are confirmed with the instructors ahead of time, so any changes need to be taken into consideration). Under no circumstance should you feel obligated to attend every single class if you are not able to. If you are late, you must make contact with the site supervisor, walk your child to class and sign in for the day.

For class day, all students should bring with them a *light* backpack including 4 items:

​

1. notebook with college ruled paper (wide for younger children)

2. pencil bag with pencils, colored pencils and erasers

3. lunch and plenty of snacks (they will be on the go!)

4. a bottle of water (we can refill if necessary)
