West Boulevard
West Blvd. Adventure Club meets at West Elementary School which is located at 319 West Blvd. N., in Central Columbia. We meet in the cafeteria, but also have access to the gym and computer lab. The maximum enrollment at West Blvd. The average enrollment is 10 for morning session and 10 for afternoon session. Currently, in addition to the two Part-time Site Facilitators, there is 1 Site Assistants at our site.
Our time during operation hours includes a lot of physical activities in the gym and quiet games and crafts in the cafeteria. We also have a very large playground with great equipment, including swings, basketball hoops, tetherball, four-square, two large structures for climbing and a large open field for playing.
Our sign-in and out procedures are fairly straight forward. The clipboard with the enrollment sheet is placed on the parent table. Parents are to accompany their children inside the building and put the time of arrival or departure and their initials next to their children's name on the sign-in/out sheet each day. When we are in the gym or computer lab, the sign-in/out sheet will be with us and a sign will be left on the parent table notifying the parents where to find us. Parents must sign their children out in the afternoon, noting the time and initials.
