This may be in their home school or one of the other elementary buildings. It is very important to notify HCER if your child will not be attending their scheduled class that day.

HERE’S HOW WE GET THE CHILDREN FROM HERE TO THERE Transfer Procedures: Please go over this procedure with your child, as it is very important to ensure the safety of all the children. HCER counselors escort students attending HCER After-School Programs from their home school to the HCER program location. All students registered for an HCER after-school program must bring a note from their parent stating they will be attending the HCER after-school class on each day of that class. This note should be given to their homeroom teacher, and should include the name of the activity and the location. Students will then be released to the gym at dismissal time to meet the HCER counselor and be escorted to the location of their particular class. This may be in their home school or one of the other elementary buildings. It is very important to notify HCER if your child will not be attending their scheduled class that day. This can be done by phone at 330-653-1210 or email: [email protected]. 28 HCER Look at the Fun we had this summer!
