Prohibited Items
◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆
No smoking, vaping or e-cigs are allowed in the center or on Walnut Creek Academy
property.
No weapons are allowed in the center or property, with the exception of uniformed on-
duty law enforcement.

For the safety of all, children should not bring items such as candy, gum, money, balloons,
play guns and other pretend weapons to school. These items and any others the staff sees
as a potential danger to others will be removed from the child and returned to the parent
at the end of the day.

Emergency Preparedness
Our Emergency Preparedness Plan is available in the center office. In case of inclement
weather or an emergency, opening and closing information will be announced on our
Facebook page.

Emergency drills are held on a regular basis to ensure teachers and children are familiar
with the recommended procedures. A drill log is maintained in the Directors Office.

If an emergency requires an evacuation and relocation, all children will be relocated to
a designated place indicated in the Emergency Preparedness Plan provided to you upon
enrollment and posted on the Parent Board in the lobby. In the event of relocation you
will be notified as soon as everyone is safely relocated. You will be given specific pick up
instructions at that time. We will remain at the designated relocation site until the end of
the day.

Lock Down Policy
Walnut Creek Academy staff is trained on safely conducting a lock down of the building
if the authorities announce a danger in the vicinity or management deems such action is
necessary.
