GATHERING DAY PROGRAMMING RULES


  • Because our Gathering Days are held in a gym, the noise levels can seem chaotic at times. Please remind your children that work is being conducted in the Church Offices and we must keep our noise levels to a minimum.
  • Once the call for announcements begins, Parents must gather their families and participate or sit with them until the end of the scheduled program.
  • If your child is not interested in the day’s activities/program, they are welcome to gather at the opposite end of the gym and play quietly until the activity/program has ended.
  • Children may play in the backyard area under close adult supervision, only when the St. Paul Preschool children are not occupying the space. Use of the playground equipment is prohibited.
  • All families are encouraged to help with any clean up needed after the program is complete.
  • Use of the Gym floor is permitted only after all Gathering Day Programs are complete.
  • Use of any St. Paul’s gym equipment is prohibited. Please bring your own gym balls or use the equipment provided by our group.
  • At the Close of the Program, or sooner if you will be leaving early, please take down and put away your families table and chairs, or make arrangements to share this responsibility with a friend.
