HAR §8-400-11. Child pick-up

(a) A child shall be picked up only by parents or persons authorized by the parents on the registration forms. Parents shall give permission for other types of arrangements, such as: (1) the child is to be picked up by someone else that day; or (2) the child is to walk, ride, bike, skateboard; or (3) the child is to take the bus home; and (4) the time the parents want the child to be dismissed from the program to do that. If parents want the A+ staff to release a child to leave the school on the child's own, parents shall sign an authorization for release of an unaccompanied child form, releasing the A+ program and staff of all responsibility for the welfare of the child once the child leaves the school grounds. When a child leaves the A+ program, the child shall check out with an adult on staff, and the parents or persons designated by the parents shall sign the child out on a sign-out sheet, noting the time of departure. (b) All persons authorized for child pick-up on A+ registration forms shall be issued I.D. (Identification) cards which shall be effective for the school year. I.D. cards shall be shown before the child is released. If a card has been misplaced, the persons who come to pick up the child shall show a picture I.D. A+ staff shall match the social security number on the picture I.D. against their own records before releasing the child. (c) If, for any reason, the child cannot be picked up by the time the program closes, parents shall be required to contact one of the designees previously authorized by them for pick-up of the child. If the child is not picked up by closing, the site coordinator shall try to contact the parents of the child and then other persons authorized to pick up the child. A child shall be released only to those persons. A $5 late pickup fee, or an amount as established by the superintendent of education, shall be imposed for every fifteen minutes beyond closing time that a student is picked up late (e.g., one to fifteen minutes late, $5; sixteen to thirty minutes, $10; thirty-one to forty-five minutes, $15, etc.). Chronic late pick-ups may be grounds for the termination of the child from the program.
