Check in your child (nursery through 6th grade) at the Check-In table in the lobby.

There are two touch-free ways to check in:

1. Text "check in" to (607) 238-5599
2. A link will be texted back to you - follow the prompts and check the box for your child's age group/service time
3. Tap print - your badges will be printed and waiting for you at the Check-In table!

Or,

1. Stop by the Check-In table and give your child's name to one of our volunteers
2. The volunteer will check your child in to their age group/service time and will print your badges for you!

Children should be checked in at the Check-In table (see above).

Each child should have their nametag badge (printed at the Check-In table) before being dropped off. (The parent/guardian will keep the corresponding parent security code badge.)

Thanks so much for helping us minimize the disruption of our children by remaining outside the classroom door when dropping off and picking up your child.

When picking up your child, please give your parent badge to the classroom volunteer at pick-up. The code on the parent badge must match the code on the child’s nametag badge.

Parents of children in grades 1-6 may approve their child to be released by the classroom teacher, and they

• Skin infection (impetigo)
• Boils
• Ringworm
• Pink eye
• Or other symptoms such as measles, mumps, German measles, or chicken pox

If your child’s symptoms are caused by allergies or teething, of course your child is certainly welcome! Please bring that to our attention.

Thank you for helping us keep our classrooms a healthy environment for all!

• Masking is optional for all individuals.
• We will do our best to help children give each other space while in the classrooms.
• We will do our best to help limit the sharing of materials (crayons, etc.) by having individual containers of crayons/supplies for children during different activities.
• Snacks will not be regularly served in the classroom, but when they are, we will help children wash hands first. Many times grab-and-go snacks will be available as children leave the classroom.
• We will have sanitizing wipes in the classrooms for use to wipe down high-touch surfaces as needed.
• Hand sanitizer is available in all classrooms.
• As usual, we will continue to practice good hand-washing hygiene by washing hands frequently and using hand sanitizer when hand-washing is not possible.

Our volunteers are quality individuals who have completed our Children's Ministry application and screening process. In addition to our current practices, volunteers are asked to stay home if showing signs of any type of illness. Please contact Heather McNeill with any questions at the child check-in center in the lobby of the church.
