Reminders and Updates for GENESIS Welcome Desk Team:

• Leading with hospitality: this is a time of lots of transition for everyone. We assume the best of the people we serve with, knowing that there will be challenges. We want to try to meet whatever needs we can especially for new kids and families. We will go above and beyond to help all kids walk with GOD!
• Please try to make notes for clarity and documentation
  • Write notes on the clipboard giving clarity especially for new families.
  • Try to avoid adding duplicates of people.
  • We can add “authorized persons” to check someone in.
  • We can add non-authorized people, or names of people who SHOULD NOT pick up a child (make sure to let Jane / Jennabeth know if there is someone who should not be picking up). This only shows up when you switch to checkout (which we don't use) but is a place to check if a person is non-authorized if you have someone who “lost their sticker.”
  • Each time we give out a bandaid or any first aid (including an ice pack), we need to fill out an incident report. The form will be open on a computer. If a child has an injury such as a scratch you cannot see and was not a result of accident, it is okay to not do an incident report (for example, if a child needs a band aid for comfort but not because of injury). If there is any doubt, fill it out! We want to make sure we have information for parents if needed, even if it seems minor.

Details about 11 State St:

• There will be a greeting team at bottom of stairs to direct people upstairs, especially families we don't know - Rachel Bandi will be leading, potentially walking people up or will radio up that new family is coming. Fiona Stuart will also be on this team helping to direct children to classrooms.

• We will have activity bags for kids that don't stay in GK.

• If people with no children want to tour the space, invite them to come back after second service and they can, once kids have all been picked up, let a coordinator know that a tour is needed.

• Our purses / jackets will go either in closet, behind welcome desk, or in kitchenette
