STUDENT HEALTH
STUDENT INFORMATION RECORDS
Parents/guardians are required to fill out an information record for their child that states known medical conditions, and how to reach parents/guardians in the event of an emergency.
If a child has a known serious medical condition, the parents are responsible for educating the director on how to respond in a medical emergency. The director will respond with good will and to the best of her ability in an emergency situation. If the parents/guardians cannot be reached in a medical emergency, and the director deems immediate medical attention is necessary, the student will be transported by ambulance to Christus St. Vincent Hospital. CCLC will not be held responsible for expenses incurred due to known, and unknown medical conditions.
It is important to keep contact information updated in the event the center needs to get in touch with a parent/guardian. It is the parent/guardian's responsibility to notify the center of any changes in home, work or emergency phone numbers and addresses.
ILLNESS
Sick children are to be kept home to get well and to prevent the spread of germs. Parents will be notified if their child becomes ill after arriving at the center. If a child is suspected of having a communicable disease he/she will not be allowed contact with other students, and a parent/guardian will be notified to pick up their child. The child will be able to resume sessions with proof of doctor’s clearance.
MEDICATION
When possible, medication should be taken prior to arriving at the center. In the event that a child must take medication during a scheduled session or workshop, the medication must be sent in the original labeled prescription container. All medication, with the exception of inhalers, must be given to the director for secure storage.
Over the counter medication should also be given to the director, and labeled with the student’s name, date, type of medication, dose and frequency.
The only students who have an absolute right to the administration of medication are those who have serious chronic and/or life threatening illness. If a student has a life threatening illness, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to instruct or provide instruction for the director on how to administer the medication.
All medication should be accompanied by a physician’s and/or parent’s authorization. Catron Community Learning Center will not administer medication without a physician’s and/or parent’s authorization.
STUDENT SAFETY
ABSENCE
In the event that a student is unable to attend a scheduled session, it is the parent's/guardian's responsibility to contact the director and inform her of the absence. If a child does not show up for a scheduled session, and a parent/guardian does not call, the director will make an effort to
contact a parent/guardian immediately following the scheduled session. The director must be given at least 24 hours notice if a student will not be able to attend a scheduled session. Parents who do not give adequate notice will forfeit tuition of the scheduled session. If absence is frequent, the director may deny registration for future sessions. Students will be allowed to make-up sessions of equivalent value if adequate notice is given.
CENTER RULES
The director will work with students to create a safe, positive and comfortable learning environment. Center rules are posted and expected to be followed.
CHILD NEGLECT/CHILD ABUSE LAWS
According to the New Mexico State legal guidelines, cases of suspected child neglect/abuse must be reported to the proper authorities. The center is not required to contact the parents of a student who is reported as a possible victim of child abuse or neglect.
DISCIPLINE
All students are expected to comply with the rules and policies of CCLC. The director may impose disciplinary measures without limitation, including disciplinary probation and required withdrawal, and may waive any disciplinary rule for just cause at her discretion.

The following disciplinary procedures will apply:
REQUIRED WITHDRAWAL

Harassment includes, but is not limited to name-calling, excluding others, abusive language, scape-goating, imitations or disrespectful comments, unwanted sexual advances, unwanted touching, sexual looks and gestures, inappropriate physical contact, retaliation for reported or threatening to report harassment, etc. Any form of harassment, including harassment by phone, internet, e-mail or text messaging will be taken very seriously. Students who engage in harassing behavior will face the possibility of required withdrawal. Harassment that is criminal in nature will be reported to law enforcement authorities.
Any student who feels he or she has been a victim or harassment at the center, must bring it to the attention of the director. All allegations of harassment will be investigated, and dealt with, in as prompt and confidential a manner as possible.
PICK UP AND DROP OFF POLICY
Students may be dropped off up to 10 minutes prior to scheduled session, and must be picked up no later than 10 minutes following the session. To ensure safe arrival and departure, students must be signed in and out by a parent/guardian, unless other arrangements have been made and approved by the director. Catron Community Learning Center will not be held responsible for accidents that occur off center property. Parents may park in the driveway if space is available. Metered parking is also available on Catron Street, and there is a public parking lot one block from the center.

Parents will be notified immediately in the event of a lockdown. The center will remain in lockdown mode until proper authorities have issued a safety clearance. Parents will not be able to pick up students during a lockdown.

In the event that weather turns bad in the afternoon, the director will make a decision before 2:00 and contact parents if she determines that a cancellation is necessary. Families will be given full credit for the cancelled session to apply toward another session at the same rate.
