***NEW PROGRAM POLICY***

Parental Class Participation

Parent Volunteer:

If you would like to be involved in your child’s class and provide one-on-one support during the programs, you must apply as an adult volunteer, complete a background check, and pay the associated fee.

Parent Spectator:

As a parent spectator, no action is required other than remaining in the designated waiting area during your child’s class. If your presence is needed, a staff member will bring your child to you.

Personal Assistants of Clients (Not Agency-Affiliated):

Individuals personally hired by the client’s family, who are not affiliated with an agency, are required to complete a background check, pay the associated fee, and sign the necessary documentation with our organization before attending class sessions.

Third-Party Helper/Assistant (Agency Affiliated):

Individuals hired through an outside agency, such as ABA therapists, must get a background check and sign an agency agreement with our organization to qualify to be present alongside the student during class. Prior approval with our facility is required, and all third-party helpers/assistants must adhere to the FCSN center’s policies while on site.

Please inform FCSN if your child will be assisted during social recreation programs. Background checks typically take several weeks to clear (about 3 weeks).  Start early and ensure the background check is completed before classes begin, as you will not be able to attend without completing the required documents.

Please contact eb.enrichment@fcsn1996.org to get started with the process.
