SCHOOL YEAR CANCELLATION: This agreement commits you to

notice is required if your child will no longer be attending

MEEP CLASSES: All students enrolled in MEEP are required
to participate in all classes and field trips. We strongly
encourage all students to be involved in all aspects of
our program. Students are required to complete their homework
in a timely fashion.

STUDENT BEHAVIOR: Minor disciplinary action requiring
parent/guardian assistance will be accompanied with a
written notice and a 30 day probation period. If the problem
continues, a conference will be scheduled. If the problem
persists, discharge may be necessary. Students are required
to act respectfully and obey teachers and safety rules
at all times. Failure in this may result in immediate
suspension of expulsion from MEEP. Misconduct at MEEP
such as striking classmates or teachers, refusal to follow
directions, inappropriate language, displaying hate symbols
or comments, racial slurs, and failure to comply with
classroom rules will result in immediate dismissal. Please
take a few minutes to review our classroom rules with
your child prior to the beginning of the school year.

UNEXCUSED ABSENCES: If your child will not be attending
MEEP for any reason, i.e. doctor/dentist appointment,
sports practice, vacation, early pick up, play dates etc.,
a parent/guardian must contact MEEP and inform them of
the upcoming absence. Notice of upcoming absence may be
left in the following forms:
* You may send notice via email at meepgo@msn.com or meepscreenplaygo@aol.com
before noon on day of absence.
* A message may be left on our voicemail at (415)584-7080
before noon on day of absence.
* A written note prior to date of absence may also be
left with MEEP.
This is necessary because MEEP does not have access to
the school’s attendance records.
