Registration & Waiver

CODE OF CONDUCT

The safety of each individual in the program is of the utmost importance to THE PORTLAND TEACHER’S COLLECTIVE. Each registrant must recognize a personal responsibility to learn and follow at all times the safety and conduct rules established by THE PORTLAND TEACHER’S COLLECTIVE staff. I hereby agree that any behavior of the registrant that places themself or others at risk may result in the registrant’s immediate dismissal from the program. THE PORTLAND TEACHER’S COLLECTIVE is a safe and inclusive space. Any acts of discrimination, harassment, or hate speech by parents or participants will be grounds for full dismissal. Further, if dismissed from the program, I agree to cover any expense(s) arising from such dismissal. I hereby acknowledge and agree that no refund will be granted for dismissal or removal of the registrant before the end of a program session. In order to ensure the safety and well‐being of all individuals participating in the program, THE PORTLAND TEACHER’S COLLECTIVE reserves the right to alter the program at any time without notice or compensation to the Registrant.  

AGREEMENTS & PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

Parents/ guardians agree to adhere to the following agreements to the best of their ability.

1. Students will be sent to school with required weather appropriate gear and a change of clothing as outlined in the school handbook.
2. Parents will provide students with a nourishing and healthy lunch and snack for each day of school.  We request that parents refrain from sending multiple high sugar items to best support student learning & experience.
3. Be on time. Each program is provided with a drop off and pick up window to best accommodate the fluctuation of traffic and acknowledge the unpredictable nature of preparing kids for their day. We ask that parents do the best they can to honor the drop off/ pick up timeline out of respect for the community's time and experience. Pick up later than 10 minutes may incure a $2 per minute charge.
4. We are a community. Staff and parents/guardians agree to work toward resolution of any issues with the program in good faith and respectful communication. 

 

Program requirements:

All preschool students must be fully potty trained and out of diapers/ pullups for the duration of the school day.
