PURPOSE OF VBS:

• Connect with kids and make memories
• Have fun and build relationships with kids
• Partner with parents and provide an on-ramp for church outreach
• Help kids grow in their relationship with Jesus

TIMES AND PLACES:

• Volunteers: arrive by 5:15 PM Monday, 5:30 PM Monday - Wednesday.
• 4/5 Year Old volunteers will meet in the old preschool clubhouse right near 4/5 Year Old Check-In
• K-5th Grade volunteers will meet outside of the Green Room.
• Check-in doors open at 5:40 PM (Monday) or 5:45 PM (Tuesday-Thursday)
• The check-in process will look similar to Sunday mornings! EVERYONE must check in: volunteers and attendees.
• Small group leaders: Stay in your seats or door until the kids arrive, then mark off rolls and have a leader on each end of the row!

SAFETY:

• Wear a name tag, NorthField "Green" shirt, Orange "NF Kids" shirt, or VBS shirt each night! It's essential to know who is supposed to be on campus.
  • If you don’t have one of these shirts or haven’t purchased a VBS shirt yet, you can purchase one Sunday morning at the old preschool Check-In area or Monday night at the “I’m In” station.
    
• Background checks are required for all volunteers - if you received one, please fill it out immediately. The email will come from Trusted Employees.
• Do not be alone with any kids at any point throughout the week. If you need to assist in the bathroom or visit the sensory room, ask a floater or someone from our safety response team to wait in the doorway. 
• At Check-In and Pick-Up, our top priority is to have name tags match parents' tags. Please make sure every kid has a name tag. 
  • Kids with a name tag also helps you know their names quicker!
• In an emergency, follow instructions from staff or the safety response team! If you are on the elementary hall or preteen classroom, you can find a sheet near the door with the exit/shelter in place flow.
• If you experience ANY behavioral issues, please notify the NF Kids team immediately! You are here to have fun. Any security team member can help call.
