Summer Life INC Kids Programming Guidelines(Required)

For the ReAlign class, Life INC is offering a nursery for kids ages 0-5 years old only. Kids older than 5 will need to stay home or have alternative child care arranged.

For the Peace that Holds and Painted Prayers class, the churches are holding vacation Bible school during our class time for kids K-5th grade. If you have kids younger than 5 years old, there may be an opportunity to have them join the church's childcare nursery during VBS but you must email Jill (Jill@love-inc.us) beforehand to set that up. If Jill doe not confirm child care for you, you will need to find alternative childcare during that class time for kids under 5 years old.

♥ The Life INC program and other services through Love INC are absolutely free.

in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.

Incentives Information
The churches working with Love INC provide resources free of charge to help you as you work on improving your life. These resources are intended as an immediate reward for a work that may take awhile to see results.

Incentives
Incentives, like Farmer’s Market vouchers, are for students who attend class, arrive on time and complete homework.

Bread
Panera Bread has been gracious in donating bread and pastries to Life INC. The amount of bread varies from week to week. We ask that you take one bag of bread. If there is still some left over it will be sitting at the door on the way out. Take all that you want if there is bread available.

Program Policies
To graduate, factors such as attendance, course comprehension and completion of assignments are all taken into consideration. The instructors determine whether or not a student has graduated.

Generally speaking, you are allowed to miss 1 class session within a 8-week period. If your absences are due to extreme circumstances, please inform your instructor. We understand that occasionally you will have other commitments, and encourage you to use your absences only when absolutely necessary. Please call the Love INC office or let your instructor know beforehand if you will be absent from class. This is considered an excused absence. Many instructors will help you make this up.

Clean and Sober
Everyone attending Life INC must be clean and sober on class nights. If staff or a volunteer suspect that you are not clean or sober, they have the right to speak to you privately. If you are believed to be under the influence or drunk, you will be asked to leave for the remainder of the evening. You are welcome back when you are clean and sober. We want you to be part of the program, but we will not tolerate people in class that are abusing substances.

If you have other addictions, such as gambling, please know that while we want to help you, we are going to point you to professional providers who can assist you.

People found to be listed in the National Sex Offender Registry Public Website will not be allowed to attend Life INC classes.
Class Cancellation - Notification
If poor weather conditions occur on a class night, a decision will be made by 3:00 pm regarding the cancellation of that night’s session. An automated text and email will be sent out. You may call the Love INC office to confirm any cancellations. Cancellations will also be posted on the KOTA web page for closures.

Confidentiality
The Love INC staff has the right to verify all information disclosed throughout your involvement in the Life INC program. All personal information disclosed will remain confidential and will not be shared outside of the Love INC staff and/or Life INC partnering volunteers and agencies without your prior knowledge and consent. General information such as attendance records, resources received, and homework completion may be given without your knowledge or consent to area agencies and/or churches where you may be seeking additional assistance.

The information will be used as a means to help you create a plan of action to begin working on goals and objectives related to your current situation.

The State of South Dakota requires that Love INC staff report any threats of violence, harm to others or self, and actual/suspected child abuse or neglect to the proper authorities.

Transportation
We understand that many students lack transportation. This is an area where we want to help the best we can. Oftentimes, we are only able to provide transportation at one campus each quarter.

We ask that you text the Love INC office before noon on the day of class if you need a ride. Phone number is: 605-939-7402. Please provide the number of people in your party, address & phone number. Keep in mind that our van driver is picking up students up at different locations. Please be patient until arrival.
