• Checking Items Out
• The Boredom Book

​IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - Sign-up sheets are located on the large bulletin board by the main floor bathrooms of the community building.  A few things to keep in mind:

1. ​When signing up for an activity, please remove the clipboard from the bulletin board and flip through the pages until you find the activity you are looking for.  
2. We do not want any of the sign-up sheets to go missing or get placed out of order, so please do not remove individual sign-up sheets from the clipboards they are on.
3. If you have questions about an activity while you are signing up or looking through the sign-up sheets, then please come speak with a Rec Therapist or one of the Rec Therapy Interns. 
4. Keep in mind that what you see is NOT what you get.  Just because a sign-up sheet is not on the front of the clipboard does not mean that it is not on that clipboard.  Please flip through each of the pages before giving up and thinking an activity does not exist.

How to check out items: You need to meet with a Rec. Therapist when you check something out.  You can check out sports equipment, games, and other items.

How to access the Student Activity Room:  There are laminated sheets in the SAR with the rules on them.  We just ask that you be respectful of each other.  In the evenings, you need to sign up in the HSW office in order to access the room.

​ScenicView Academy Student Group on Facebook:  We encourage you to join that group to get more information on community events.​

Yellow Slips

• If those resources absolutely won’t work or you have a special/urgent situation, come talk to Josh about the possibility of getting a yellow slip

General Residential Items: 

• We are pleased that many students gather in the “gathering area”  However please clean up after yourselves.  Don’t leave wrappers and/or food in the gathering area, or the computer lab.
• When you do laundry, please choose a time when you will be on campus so the washing machine and dryers are not left unattended.
• PLEASE DO NOT LOAN MONEY TO NOR SOLICIT MONEY FROM OTHER STUDENTS!
• Quiet Time Policy Reminder for Residential Building: Quiet time is at 10:30 -- please be in your own room after that.

If you are your own payee for Social Security benefits; remember to send your pay stubs to Social Security ASAP. Not reporting your wages can lead to you having to return money to the government. If you have any questions ask Sarah H.
​
SPECIAL NOTE:  If you have a concern or a conflict with someone at ScenicView, it is best to resolve the conflict with the individual directly.  If you feel uncomfortable doing so, you may involve an appropriate staff member to help you.  Please do not gossip about the person you have a conflict with.

Vocational: Updated 8/8/2017

Welcome all to the ScenicView Academy employment program. Temps will be working from 9-12 every morning, Monday through Friday.  Students will learn technical skills for their assigned tasks.  More importantly, students will learn executive functioning/employability skills that every employer values from their employees.  Learn these skills to be more successful at work.
