General Program Information cont...
Cell Phone Usage
Cell phones must remain off during class session. If you need
to reach your child while class is in session, please call our office
at 301-846-2661 and a message will be immediately delivered
to your child.
Electronic devices and cell phones may not be used during
class hours without instructor permission. FCC is not
responsible for lost, broken or missing items.
Emergency Contact Form
Required for all courses and must be completed before a child
can participate in a program, this form is completed online as
a part of the registration process. If, for any reason a form is not
on file for your child, one will be provided at the beginning
of the first day of class to be completed and signed by an
authorized guardian before leaving the child.
Student Safety
Everyone’s safety is our top priority. All FCC faculty and staff
undergo background checks as required by state law. Children
are closely supervised and are escorted by KOC/TOC staff to and
from all activities. Parents/guardians are required to sign their
child in and out of class each day.
Food Allergies
FCC provides nut-free snacks and lunches during summer
programs. We kindly ask students, parents and guardians to not
bring peanut or nut products to campus. Please note, however,
the college does not guarantee an allergen-free environment.
Medications & Emergencies
FCC staff are not authorized to administer any medication
(prescription or non-prescription) to students.
If medication must be taken while the student is on campus,
the parent/guardian is responsible for coming to campus to
administer the medication.
Written authorization from a physician and parent/guardian
is required for students who carry an epi-pen or inhaler. Please
call 301-846-2661 or email
for the required form. In an emergency, trained staff will
administer epi-pens or inhalers provided by students.
In emergencies requiring immediate medical attention, your
child will be taken to the nearest hospital emergency room.
Your signature on the Emergency Contact Form authorizes the
responsible person at Frederick Community College to have
your child transported to that hospital.
Medical Treatment
Staff take all reasonable measure to ensure the safety of the
children in the Kids on Campus & Teens on Campus program
and provide appropriate supervision at all times.
Scraped knees, nose bleeds, bee stings, and other injuries
occasionally happen. KOC/TOC staff will follow the State
regulations for minor injuries. The regulations state that
staff can treat injuries with soap, water, ice and bandages.
If a child is injured or feeling ill, KOC/TOC staff will bring the
individual to the KOC/TOC office for treatment and/or a short
observation. All incidents are logged in the KOC/TOC health
log and parents receive an email describing the minor injury
and treatment.
If a child feels ill, staff will assess the situation and determine
if the child can return to class or should leave for the day.
If the child needs to leave class because of illness or more
serious injury, the parent will be notified and is expected to
pick up their child immediately.
If FCC or KOC/TOC staff deem a situation an emergency, staff
will immediately call 911 for medical assistance and/or
transport, then notify the parent as quickly as possible.
