Mandatory
Workshop Instructor Meeting

on Wednesday, August 20th, from 3:00 to 4:00 PM (after the Back-to-School
Potluck).
Dropping Off Students
Please do not drop your children off at the site or any off-site workshops at
anytime without at least one fingerprinted, TB cleared "qualified" adult willing
to receive them, and be responsible for them. This is mandated by our school
liability insurance.
Become a "Qualified" Adult
"Qualified" adults are present at all Mt. Oaks activities or workshops until all
participants have left. We must have two "qualified" adults present at all Mt.
Oaks events. This becomes especially important for off-site events, and some
events have had to be cancelled because there were not qualified adults
available. It's easy to become a qualified adult, and all parents are eligible.
Here is how to do this.
Attendance at Workshops
Attendance at all workshops offered by the Amador Site will
be based on the following priorities:
1. Enrolled students who either live in Amador County or have chosen the Amador
site as their “site of choice”.
2. Enrolled students (meeting the above guidelines) wishing to repeat a
session. (Such as more than one pottery class.)
3. Non-Amador enrolled students.
4. Non-Amador enrolled students wishing to repeat a session.
5. Parents and un-enrolled siblings.
