Student Supervision
Students in our, classrooms, will not be left alone without a qualified Guide present and within the state-required ratios. Our supervision practices include taking regular head counts, recording attendance, and never leaving children alone or unsupervised. During transitions, our Guides will perform “name-to-face” headcounts both before and after transitions to minimize any risk of children being left unattended.
Students in English Village Elc during all school day activities, including regular head counts and attendance tracking. When appropriate, elementary students may independently travel to different areas in the school building with appropriate notification and approval of the relevant Guides and staff.
Visitors On Campus
English Village Elc requires all non-employees visiting campus to be approved by the School Leader before visiting. Visitors should call or email the campus leadership team to arrange their visit ahead of time. For any visit to be approved, the School Leader must know the purpose for the visit, that the purpose is reasonable and will not pose undue distraction or any threat to anyone on campus, and the approximate duration of the visit. Examples of reasonable visits are teachers in training who need observation hours, family events such as a grandparents’ day celebration, or a presentation from local community members such as the local police or fire chiefs.
On the day of the visit, visitors must check in at the front desk with an I.D., sign into the Visitor’s Log, and receive a Visitor’s Badge before entering the rest of the building. This includes parents and family members visiting for tours, special events, observations, and other reasons.
Visitors are never left alone with children, and are escorted throughout the building. When inside a classroom, visitors can sit in one of the designated visitor’s chairs which is always in sight of the classroom guides. Any visitors who come to campus in order to interact with children (e.g. for extracurricular activities) will be required to pass a background check prior to their visit. Any visitor posing a possible conflict of interest, due to a close relationship with a member of our staff for example, must be supervised during their visit by a different member of our staff throughout their visit.
