City of Peekskill Youth Bureau Statement of Policy

REQUIREMENTS: The City of Peekskill Youth Bureau is open to all school-age children in grades 5 through 12, who live in Peekskill and the surrounding area.

Youth Bureau Operating Hours:
September-June: Monday through Friday, 9:00am-6:00pm
Summer Hours: 8:30am-4:00pm

Both the Youth Bureau administrative office and all programs will follow the City of Peekskill’s operating schedule. Holidays and school vacation programming operational hours will be announced 2 weeks in advance of said holiday or school vacation.

WITHDRAWAL: A child may be asked to withdraw from a Youth Bureau program if, in the judgment of the professional staff, he or she is not able to function positively in our group setting, or the program is unable to meet the special needs of that particular child. Parents agree to inform the Youth Bureau upon registration of any special needs that require modifications in the child’s program activities.

STAFF: The ratio of staff to children will be approximately 1 to 10 in the primary grades and 1 to 15 in the middle/high school. Children will be supervised at all times.

HEALTH: If it appears that a child’s health may pose a threat to other children, parents will be called and required to immediately pick up their child. Our staff will NOT administer medication of any kind to any child nor may a child self-administer medication while in our care. In any case of a medical emergency, we rely on the excellent local emergency services to provide urgent care.

FOOD SERVICE ARRANGEMENTS: On some days nutritional snacks are provided by the City of Peekskill Youth Bureau.

TRANSPORTATION: We do not provide transportation to and from the program.

DISMISSAL ARRANGEMENTS: If any person listed on this form is legally barred from having contact with, or picking up your child, you must notify the Youth Bureau staff of this in writing and provide legal documentation to that effect.
