Check-In/Check-Out Procedures

Check-In/Check-Out Procedures for Youth Programs:

Parents/guardians must sign their children in and out each day (or the first and last day of the program for a residential program). Adults picking up a child must present photo identification. Once a relationship is established and authorized persons responsible for overseeing sign-in and sign-out are familiar with the family, the photo identification may be waived. 

Authorized persons are responsible for supervising minors until they are picked up by an adult who has been identified in advance and authorized in writing to take custody of the youth.

CYS also recommends allowing parents/guardians to identify individuals who are not authorized to pick up their child during the registration process.

High school-aged youth may sign themselves in and out of programs with advance written consent from the parent/guardian.  

Questions regarding this provision may be directed to CYS. Exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
