New members must fill out a Membership Packet signed by a parent or guardian and
accompanied by a check or credit payment receipt for the $50 membership fee. Returning
members can fill out a Renewal Form and must bring in a check or credit payment receipt for
the $50 membership fee.

membership - $125. If you are a new member and interested in the multi-year discount,

| Evening Closing Policy |
During the week, Danny's Place afternoon hours end at 6PM. It is imperative that youth are
picked up from the center by that time. If they can not be picked up by 6PM, arrangements
must be made to pick up your youth at a location other than the Administration Building in
which Danny's Place is located. This is a school administration building and youth can not
be left unattended in or around the building as staffing is minimal in the evening and should
an emergency occur, there may not be anyone available to respond. Also, parents and youth
should not expect staff to provide them with a ride home.
If youth continue to loiter past the 6PM time frame, it will affect their continued admittance to
the center.

In order to provide unobstructed access to buses and emergency vehicles coming to the
Administration Building during the school day, there is now a No Parking Zone in the front
circle of the Administration Building. Drivers bringing students to Danny's Place must park in
the Parker Damon Building (PDB) lot or the front Visitor Spaces. Cars entering the driveway
at the front of the building will be re-routed to the PDB lot. Please avoid parking in spaces
designated for staff in the PDB lot. The Acton Police will be monitoring the situation. Violators
will be given one warning. Further violations will be reported to the Acton Police who will
send tickets. Tickets will need to be paid prior to the renewal of your license and registration.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause. Given the high incidence of cars
blocking the access of buses, and in one case, emergency vehicles being blocked, this
action has become necessary.

| Important Parking Info |
 |
Danny’s Place is a drop-in center. Youth are free to come and go from the center as they
please. While on outings, or during any transportation activity, the staff will use reasonable
efforts to monitor the participants, but will not be responsible for any participant who leaves
the group. Staff members are facilitators, not supervisors. We hold youth to the standard of
conduct outlined in the Proclamations of Danny’s Place (page 6 of the membership packet),
but we have no authority over them, except to restrict their access to the center. Be certain
your child understands your expectations regarding his or her behavior. Members and
visitors are responsible for notifying their parents/legal guardian of their daily plans for after
school activities and to arrange for their own transportation to and from Danny’s Place.
This also means that youth will need to leave the Danny's Place facility in order to patronize
the public rest-rooms in the school's administrative building in which we are located. These
rest-rooms are used for several other programs in the building as well including Community
Education and their programs, Pupil Services pre-school, Colebrook High School and
multiple administrative offices. Please respect the facility and our surrounding building
neighbors.
It is also the school's policy that youth should not be loitering in the hallway or the front
awning area outside. The school will take notice and respond accordingly. The use of
sporting equipment (this includes skatebpards) is also prohibited in these areas.
