Policies & Procedures

MISSION

Arch Street is a drug-free and alcohol-free environment, where teens can initiate and organize activities that improve their social lives and provide leadership and community service.


PROCEDURES AND POLICIES
7th & 8th Grade

Recognizing that 7th & 8th graders needed their own set of guidelines to reflect the age difference between middle school students and high school students, Arch Street has a separate policies and procedures.

1. Parent chaperones may enter into Arch Street parking lot to drop off their children and wait until they enter the building. Two police officers are on the premises every event night and one of the officers is stationed outside the front entrance through the duration of the night’s activity.

2. Once inside, the children identify themselves, pay admission, and have their hands stamped. Their coats and bags are checked and they proceed upstairs for the evening. Once the student has entered the building, they are not permitted to leave.

3. Executive Director, Kyle Silver and at least ten other internal security personnel monitor the inside of the building throughout the night.

4. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL OR DRUGS PERMITTED AT ARCH STREET. Should a student arrive intoxicated or under the influence of drugs or be caught with alcohol or drugs, parents are immediately notified and asked to pick up their child. A meeting is requested with the Executive Director, parents, and the child.

5. Arch Street has a firm NO SMOKING policy. Any student caught smoking is given a strict warning only once. If the rule is again ignored, their parents are notified.

6. At the end of the Activity, students await their parent chaperone in the lobby of Arch Street amid security. Students may leave the facility when their parent chaperone arrives at the front of Arch Street.

Arch Street truly wants to serve Greenwich students, parents and community to the best of our ability and your comments are critical to this purpose. We welcome any student or parent feedback, both to express concerns and reinforce positive experiences. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or schedule a tour of the facility.
