The Foundation Christian Microschool Micro Summer School Registration and Parent Handbook

PURPOSE

The purpose of Gilmer's Learning Solutions Micro Summer School operated by The Foundation Christian Microschool is to provide quality Reading/Reading Comprehension instruction that will reduce the amount of learning loss experienced during the Summer months (Summer Regression). Micro Summer School provides children with the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities, which benefit them academically and socially. The goal of Summer Day Camp is to provide the camper with activities that are safe, fun and that allow for positive learning experiences.

Micro Summer School

Registration Deadline: June 10, 2026

Registration fee is $375 per child per child due upon registration confirmation. If deposit has been paid, the remainder is due upon registration completion. We reserve the right to deny any person admission to the program.



STAFF

The Foundation Christian Microschool staff comes from a variety of backgrounds with each one being selected based upon their interpersonal skills as well as their experience with children. Lead teaching staff are 18 years or older and have some type of early childhood or recreation experience. Teaching staff assistants are high school and/or college students with high academic achievement and experience working with children in small group settings.

SUPERVISION

All attendees will be under the direct supervision of staff at all times. No persons under 16 years of age shall be responsible for any group of children. No child will be left unattended indoors or outdoors at any time. Only a parent/guardian or an individual who is on the pickup permission slip may check out campers. Picture identification is required at the time of pick up if it is a person different than the parent/guardian listed.

DROP-OFF and PICK-UP

Parents are to come to the door for pick up and drop off to sign their child(ren) in and out. If someone on your pick-up list will be picking up your child, they will be asked to show picture identification. BYOB(reakfast) is from 8:30 am - 8:45 am. There will be NO drop offs after 9:00 am except in the case of an extenuating circumstance (i.e. car trouble, traffic jam due to accident or other road hazzard). If a camper is dropped off after 9:00am, there is no guarantee that there will be time for them to eat their BYOB. Please be timely.

Late Pick Up Policy – All Micro Summer School attendees should be picked up by 2:45 pm. Parents, who are late due to unforeseen circumstances (please call), will be issued a verbal warning. To avoid situations like these, we encourage parents to have a backup plan that would allow their child/ren (with prior approval) to go home with a neighboring parent or a relative/friend listed as authorized to pick up your child from the facility.

The following procedure will be used for parents who violate the pick-up policy.

First Offense – Late charge of $1.00 per child per minute beginning at 2:45 p.m.

Second Offense – Grounds for one-day, non-refundable suspension from program.

Third Offense- Grounds for non-refundable dismissal from program.

Late charges are due on the day which the infraction occurs. Non-payment of late charges may result in suspension of the child/ren from the program. We ask parents to be respectful and courteous regarding this policy.

If a child is left and we have not heard from a parent, or if a parent cannot be reached and no one is available to pick up your child, the DHS office will be asked to come and transport that child to a safe location.

ABSENCES

If your child is going to be absent from camp for the day, please email jalynn@gilmerslearningsolutions.com or bring a note the day before. You may also email grow@gilmerslearningsolutions.com.

MEDICATIONS

Medications should be administered at home prior to arrival to Micro Summer School. In the event that this cannot be done, any medication to be administered must be in a prescription-labeled bottle stating the type of medication, frequency of dosage and amount to be given. A medication form must be on file. No exceptions will be made to this rule. It is in the best interest of your child to have any medications properly administered.

SICK CHILD

At Micro Summer School (hosted by The Foundation Christian Microschool), medical services are minimal. We stock only first aid medical supplies. If a sick child arrives at camp, we will assume the illness began at home and will not allow the child to attend until they have been symptom free without medication for 24 hours. PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR SICK CHILD TO CAMP. This is inconsiderate and can spread infection throughout the facility. We have no facilities in the camp in which to keep a sick child. We should be able to contact you at home or at the alternate telephone number listed on your child’s registration for you to come and take the child home. Children who come to camp with dressings are encouraged to have them changed at home. Please inform us by note if the dressing must be changed.

GILMER'S LEARNING SOLUTIONS, LLC/THE FOUNDATION CHRISTIAN MICROSCHOOL DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL INSURANCE FOR MICO SUMMER SCHOOL PARTICIPANTS. INSURANCE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PARENTS. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE, WE STRONGLY SUGGESTS YOU OBTAIN IT PRIOR TO CAMP.

CONCERNS

Any concerns or comments should be addressed with the Program Director.

LUNCH & SNACKS

Campers will should bring a mid-morning snack and a lunchwill be provided every day. If your child decides to bring his/her own lunch and snacks, both should be clearly labeled with your child’s name.

Discipline problems will not be tolerated. We strive to provide an atmosphere which is conducive to safety and appropriate behavior while attending Micro Summer School. Maintaining proper conduct while in the program is the joint responsibility of the children, parents and Micro Summer School staff. The following guidelines will be followed:

1st Offense: Program Director, and/or teacher talks to child/ren, logs infraction and verbally informs parent.

2nd Offense: Program Director, and/or teacher talks to child/ren, logs infraction and notifies parent in writing.

3rd Offense: Dismissal of child/ren for the remainder of Summer Reading Boost! depending on the severity of the prior infractions.

The Foundation Christian Microschool staff and the program director, will handle discipline. The use of corporal punishment is not allowed. The method used is time-out. Time-out is when a child is given time away from an activity, peers, etc., to think about his/her inappropriate behavior and try to develop a positive manner in which to deal with the situation. If time-out does not work, then the parents will be notified. Time-out is 1 minute per age. Example: If the child is age 6, time-out is 6 minutes. Additionally, camp staff may choose to talk with the child about more appropriate actions that can be taken in place of time out if the incident is minor.
