POW Science Guidelines

Welcome to POW Science!  The following guidelines are provided to ensure that an enjoyable, rewarding, and safe classroom environment is established and the program runs smoothly.

  • Children may bring a quick, healthy snack (fruit, veggies, yogurt, crackers etc.) and a water bottle.
  • If your child will not be attending class on a particular day, please contact the school office at 683-3899.  It is okay to leave a message on the answering machine.
  • Please remind your child that they are coming to class to learn and have fun!  They are expected to be respectful to the instructor, fellow students, and classroom materials.  Behavioral problems may result in your child’s dismissal from the program.

Arrival/Dismissal/Transportation

  • Your child will be dismissed directly to POW Science from their home room.
  • POW Science ends at 4:20 PM.  You must provide transportation home from school.  Please respect the instructor and classroom assistant and pick up your child on time.
  • Students will not be allowed to depart with an individual that is not on their release list. If you wish to add an individual to your child’s release list after submitting initial information, please send a note to school.

Early Release/school cancellation/inclement weather

  • If school is released early or cancelled, POW Science will be cancelled.
  • POW Science may be cancelled after school because of inclement weather.  Please check with the front office at 683-3899. 

If a parent/guardian is late to pick up the child, the following steps will be taken
(We hope this will never be necessary):

  • At 4:35 PM (15 minutes after scheduled dismissal) the parent/guardian will be charged a fee of $10.00. 
  • At 4:50 PM (30 minutes after scheduled dismissal), the   parent/guardian will be charged an additional fee of $10.00, for a total of $20.00.  If someone can not be reached and no one has come for the child, the classroom assistant or instructor will drive the child to the Portsmouth Police Station.  The child will remain at the police station until picked up by a parent or designated adult.

Thank you for your cooperation!
