* I agree to follow all program policies as stated in the Parent Handbook.
* I am aware that certain activities are physically demanding. (If you have concerns regarding your child’s abilities to participate fully, please contact our Afterschool Program Director or Head of School.) I am aware of Mountain Village School's nature based philosopy and amount of time psent outside, in all kinds of weather. I will send my child with the appropriate equipment, such as rain gear, snow gear, sturdy shoes or boots, protective clothing, sunscreen, water bottles, etc. I further understand that equipment, clothing, backpacks, lunchboxes, etc. will experience wear and tear. I understand that both my child and their belongings may come home wet, dirty, muddy, and tired.

I understand that over the counter medications must be sent in their original container. I understand that MVS staff may only administer medication as it is prescribed on the proper container. I understand that medication will be sent home with the child on a daily basis.
* I understand some specific hazards that may be encountered during the course of a normal day may include: slipping or falling, insect bites, ticks, poison ivy, or bodily injury.
