Pagers Coming to a Pre-K & K Near You!

Beginning the weekend of September 4th & 5th we will be using pagers in the

Nursery and Pre-K & K Area.

Why?

• Improved communication between classroom and families.
• Current system relies on an individual being able to see the number boards on the right and left of the stage.
• Number boards sometimes get moved and/or are broke.
• Many times family members are engrossed in worship or the sermon and do not see the number board.
• The number board does not help families who attend Vida Nueva, a class in the Discipleship Center, or who are volunteering in another area.

How will it work?

• Parents will pick up a pager for their family while checking-in at the HUB. 1 pager/Family.
• Computers will prompt families to enter pager number.
• Stickers will print after they have done this.
• Stickers will include the child's pager number on both the child's sticker and the parent's sticker.
• Children will be dropped off a their classrooms as usual. There are no changes in drop off.
• At pick- up parents will return their pager.
• Parents must still present the corresponding pick-up sticker to their child's sticker to pick up their child. A Pager cannot be returned in exchange for a child.
• If a child's family is needed during service, the classroom will notify the HUB of the child's name and pager number.
• The family should go directly to their child's classroom and present their pick-up sticker to the leader.

This is a new system for us at the Rock Island Campus. As with any change there may be kinks to work out. We appreciate your patience and any feedback you have that will make us run our Children's Area smoother and maintain a safe place for your children to learn about God.
