Lunch
« Thread Started on Feb 26, 2008, 10:22am »
Activ8 will provide free supervision during lunch time, 12-12:45 pm, in the CSU cafeteria. There are three options the participants have for lunch:

1. Bring your own lunch (participants will carry their lunches with them).

2. Bring money to eat at the cafeteria (meals are $6.50).

3. Register for our prepaid lunch program, which includes the cafeteria lunch.

If children stay for lunch, will they be escorted to the dining facility, supervised, and then escorted back to the following class? My child is autistic and becomes disorientated easily, if no one is paying attention she can easily be left behind as well. She does not always pick up on cues that people assume children will naturally respond to. And she is so high functioning that often people do not realize the need for additional awareness when watching her. I’m a little uncomfortable with the idea of letting her do two classes in one day for this reason.

All kids will be escorted from class to the cafeteria. In the cafeteria, they will be supervised the entire time. When it is time to dismiss from lunch, all kids will be taken in the same direction and back to class. The last program aide will leave the cafeteria only when all the kids are gone.

I'd like to throw in here...No child is EVER left unsupervised!

Hi Meni and thanks for answering my questions again!

I do hope no offence is given, it sounds like you are running a supper program in an extremely responsible manner. Unfortunately I can tell horror stories of my daughter being left on play grounds, wondering halls lost, or found under furniture, with no one really sure how she got there. I know you will understand my concerns.

I’m really excited about this program and will be sitting down with the girls this weekend to pick classes they want to register for!

Another thing to mention here is the training week all of the program aides will be going through prior to the start of the program. In these trainings, we will cover all the essential information on how the camps work and how to properly supervise. In addition, we will do several 'what if' situations that arise throughout the summer. These situations come from personal experiences in the past 10 years and from research of other camps.

I have heard of those stories of kids left alone and I never want to have that happen in our program, so that is why we train our program aides and supervise them throughout the day.
