To ensure that Dragon Academy can operate smoothly and effectively, please read the following:
· All time-off requests should be made two weeks in advance and should be submitted on Dragon Academy’s Time Off Request Forms. Requests will be evaluated based on a few factors, including but not limited to staffing conditions for the time of request. Completing a request does not guarantee time off.
· Absences due to illness, children’s illness, or family emergencies must be called in at least three hours before an employee is scheduled to work. Opening staff are required to call in between the hours of 4:00pm to 6:00pm the day prior. Sooner for all shifts if at all possible. And you must provide a doctor’s note. Three sick absences with no doctor’s excuse for you or your child will result in a write-up. After 2 attendance write ups, you will be terminated.
· Employees with children needing care are encouraged to have alternative, back-up childcare arrangements if possible.
· Non-Director Administrative positions report both to the Center Director and the Owner
· Car trouble is not considered an emergency. Please arrange for a ride if this problem arises.
· Employees are required to call their Director. If the Director is not available, the designated Assistant Director must be contacted. Please try both numbers until the phone is answered. A text message will not result as a call out.
Please understand that a childcare facility operates more efficiently if staff members are present for their shift, thus, when we are short on staff not only are the teachers affected, the children are too. All absences will be monitored, and excessive absences could be grounds for termination.
