The Safe Sitter^® course is a medically accurate child care course developed especially for students in grades 6-8. Safe Sitter^® teaches you the skills you need to safely care for children – infants through school age.

We want your Safe Sitter^® course to be a positive experience for you! We want you to know what to expect from us when you take the course and we want you to know what we expect from you. With those points in mind, please read the following ground rules for the Safe Sitter^® class.

1. Attendance. There is a lot to learn in a fairly short time so it’s important to come to all sessions, be on time, and stay until the end of the course. If this is not possible, you should reschedule for another course.
2. Respect for others. You have a great opportunity to meet new people and develop friendships. We will expect you to think of the feelings of others – no teasing or putdowns.
3. Respect for property and equipment. The class will be fun and the atmosphere relaxed, but students must remember that the space and the equipment must be treated with respect.
4. Student materials. Please write your name in your Student Handbook and be sure to bring it back to each course session. Take your Student Handbook home after the course – it’s yours to keep.
5. Electronic devices. Keep cell phones and electronic devices on silent and put them away during class. You can check for messages at lunch or after the course. Please be sure that any electronic devices brought to class do not distract anyone during the course.

Safe Sitter^® courses are always lots of fun for everyone. The ground rules are meant to help guarantee that fun. Sign below if you are willing to abide by them.

I understand the importance of Safe Sitter’s ground rules. I agree to follow them in the course.
