The Youth Development Strategy

 

Boys & Girls Clubs programs promote the development of young people by instilling a sense of competence, a sense of usefulness, a sense of belonging and a sense of power or influence.

 

When this strategy is fully implemented, self-esteem is enhanced, and an environment is created which helps boys and girls achieve their full potential.



Dear Parents,


Thank you for your interest in the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cherokee (B&GCC). Fill out the attached application and return it to the Club with the annual membership fee.


Applications and Fees – After-School

At the beginning of each year, you will need to update your child’s application and pay the membership fee of $40.00 regardless of when your child enrolled. We must keep updated information on the children in case of emergencies so please notify the center if telephone numbers or places of employment change. In order for your child’s application to be considered complete everything must be filled out and signed and all fees paid in full. Applications will be marked complete or incomplete by a CYC staff member, incomplete applications will be returned to parent and/or guardian to be completed 


Children with Special Needs

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Cherokee Staff is not trained nor is the facility equipped to serve most children with special needs. Prior to child’s first day at the center, parents must meet with a staff member to develop a plan for the child. Each child will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if we can meet that child’s needs. After 30 days a meeting will be scheduled with the parents to discuss options.

 

Changes to Contacts & Pick-Up lists

Please notify us if someone needs to be added or deleted from your child’s pick-up list. All pick – up lists must be updated every three (3) months or sooner if any changes. Please send a note if someone picks your child up that is not on your list. The B&GCC Staff will check contact numbers two times per year, if they cannot contact anyone on your contact list, you will be fined $50.00, and your child will not be allowed to return to the center until numbers are updated and fine is paid. Then the proper authority will be notified. B&GCC will not be responsible for any occurrences that may occur due to lack of updated information or updated contact information.


Custody and Court Documents

We will honor and follow the request of the most recent court approved documentation, which we have on file. If custody or arrangements change it is the responsibility of the child’s primary custodian to inform the B&GCC management team and give them a copy of any new documentation.

 

Report Cards

You are required to provide a copy of each report card throughout the school year. These aides us in receiving grant monies for our prevention and Power Hour programs, this also helps us track the success of our kids and see the impact that we make on your children, and where we may need to concentrate our resources. All report cards must be turned in within 10 business days after they are sent out.


Attendance Policy

If your child is absent from attending CYC for 10 consecutive business days without notification of a return date, your child will be considered inactive and moved to waiting list, and their spot will be filled with the next child on waiting list. There will be an additional $20.00 fee to put your child back on the active list.


School Closings, Early Dismissals, Administrative Leave, and Inclement Weather

 

Arrival Time - Full Day The B&GCC is open on teacher workdays and early dismissal days for Cherokee Central Schools, Kituwah Academy, Jackson, Swain and Graham County Public Schools. If Cherokee Schools are closed due to snow or ice, we will be closed unless Tribe is on a 2hr delay. If Tribe is on a 2hr delay, then the CYC will open at 9:30. The Tribe will follow the Cherokee Centrals School inclement weather unless otherwise noted, or administrative leave is granted by the Chief. BGCC reserves the right to open at a later time if roads are unsafe for CYC staff. It is parents' responsibility to call to see when we are open on snow days and/or during any other questionable day, Tribal Inclement Weather Line phone number is 497-7047 or 359-7047. Children must bring their lunch on those days. We ask that you send lunch with your child or bring them lunch by 12:15 noon, please do not send money for lunch. We do have drink machines in the centers; we ask that no drinks be purchased until lunchtime. No outside drinks are allowed in the building.


Days when Schools are closed, we will do our best to open at 7:30am, but no later than 7:45am for children. We ask that you feed your child breakfast and send a lunch with him/her. We will provide an afternoon snack.


In the event that administrative leave is granted by the Chief due to inclement weather, you will have 30 minutes to pick up you children or make arrangements to have your children picked up. After this time, you will be assessed a $50.00 fine payable before your child may return to the B&GCC. If we are unable to make contact with you or your emergency contacts within this 30-minute window, we will call the proper authorities to make sure your child is taken to safety.

 

Full Day Programming Arrival Time

We ask that all club kids be checked in by at least 8:30am and ready for that day’s programming to begin. If you know that you will be later than 8:30am we ask you call the center before 8:30am to inform us of expected arrival time. Our programming begins at this time and at times we will be transporting kids to other locations and do not have the staff available to leave them behind to wait on late comers.  If arriving after 8:30am you must walk your child inside the building and sign them in. As your child’s group may be off the facility grounds, and we may not have a way to get your child to them until they return.

 

Late Fees

All Boy & Girls Clubs of Cherokee implement a 3 step late pick up policy. 1st step - There is a $2.00 late fee per Child for every minute (60 seconds) you are late picking up your child, beginning at one minute after the hour. 2nd step – If you are late a second time during the school year or during the summer program, there is a $4.00 late fee per child for every minute (60 seconds) you are late picking up your child. 3rd step – If there is a third occurrence of being late picking up your child(ren) there will be a flat $100.00 late fee per child, that will have to be paid in full before your child will be allowed to return to the club. For every late pick up after the 3rd offense will be $100.00 flat fee per child. If this tardiness becomes habitual, we will be forced to expel your child(ren) from the B&GCC program. The clock at the front desk is used to determine late fees. The number of late pick-ups will be kept through the school year and wiped clean and start over for the summer program. All fees accumulated during the school year will need to be paid before attending the summer program. After the Summer Program the number of late pick-ups will be wiped clean and start over fresh again with each new school year. All fees accumulated during the summer program will need to be paid before attending the new school year. If you know you are going to be late, please call us before closing time and we will do our best to work with you, if it does not turn into a habit. In the event that administrative leave is granted by the chief due to inclement weather, you will have 30 minutes to pick up your children or make arrangements to have your children picked up. After this time, you will be assessed a $50.00 fine payable before your child may return to the B&GCC. If we are unable to make contact with you or your emergency contacts within this 30-minute window, we will call the proper authorities to make sure your child is taken to safety.

 

Signing Out/Signing In

All Parents/Guardians must sign out each child that they are picking up each day, and no one under the age of 18 can sign another child out of the B&GCC. All Parents/Guardians and visitors are required to stop at the front desk and sign the visitor sign in log. For safety reasons all visitors will require a B&GCC staff member or volunteer to escort them throughout the facility while visiting the B&GCC facilities. This is to ensure the safety of all club members, staff and volunteers. Parents/Guardians and visitors are prohibited to harass or attempt to intimidate club members staff, or volunteers while visiting or picking up their child(ren). If you or a family member are disrespectful, threatening, or disruptive toward the staff, then this will result in being banned for thirty (30) days. If this continues to happen, then legal action will be taken.


Teens Signing Themselves Out

Any Teen who is over the age of 16 and has permission to sign themselves out and states they will be leaving the CYC/Teen Center building will be escorted out of the building by the Teen Center Youth Development Professional-YDP. For Safety reasons the Teen must leave the building; they will not be allowed to hang out on the premises, after they have signed themselves out. Teen members will be allowed to sign themselves out for a short period of time (30 minutes) to go to the store or to buy their lunch then return back to the Teen Center. If the Teen member is still present at the CYC/Teen Center during Monday or Thursday or Saturday clubs, they will have the option to participate with a club or they must leave the building. If at any time the YDP suspects the Teen member is abusing their privilege to sign themselves out of the CYC/Teen Center, the Teen members Parent/Guardian will be contacted.
