Replications Panthers After School

Policies & Protocols — I.S. 229 Community School

Greetings Replication Panthers Families,

Thank you for joining Replications After School! While we are excited to serve and provide quality programming, it will take the village's support.


Policy & Protocol

A quick overview of what to expect day to day — attire, devices, and our arrival and dismissal procedures.

Attire:

Replications, Inc. aligns with the school policy of keeping on the school uniform daily. Attire may change based on activity, but that will be explicitly relayed.

Expected attire includes: knee-length shorts (cargo, athletic, or jean), jeans or pants that fit appropriately, sweatpants or athletic pants, and sneakers or other closed-toe athletic shoes.

Phones and devices:

Enrolled Panthers' phones will be held at dismissal for safety and continued support of the "minimize screen time" initiative. You're welcome to call or text at your convenience — personal devices stay stored away until dismissal.

Director Cell: 929.831.2555 Office: 347.970.1227

Arrival & Dismissal:

All Panthers enter through the cafeteria immediately after the day-school bell releases. Eighth graders enter through the secondary door. They must sign in and wait at their designated tables for further instruction.

At dismissal, students line up before heading to the exit and collecting their devices. All Panthers must leave the building with Replications' After School staff collectively. "Walkers" must sign out on the master sign-out sheet; pick-ups must sign their Panther(s) out. Dismissal is between 5:35–6:00pm, and all Panthers must clear the sidewalk and disperse.

Early dismissal requires a guardian's signature at departure — please sign out at the safety desk with the provided sign-out sheet. Early dismissal ends at 4:30pm; collective dismissal starts at 5:35pm.

In case of emergency, a written request is required — email sthomas@replications.org and Principal A. We cannot release any child without a guardian during early dismissal.
