CHECK-OUT PEOPLE

1. Get the list of all students and their rooms. This should be available on the staff page.

2. Check out Assignments:

End of 2 week LYMAN: 1 person 9am to 9pm; 1 additional person 9am to 2pm.

End of 2 week DOUGLAS: 1 person 9am to 9pm; 1 additional person 9am to 2pm.

End of 3 week LYMAN: 1 person 9am to 9pm; 1 additional person 9am to 2pm.

Please help with more hours if it is needed. If you do work extra hours, keep track of it, tell Jim, and you will be provided additional compensation.

PLEASE DO NOT PUT THE CHECK OUT TABLE IN THE ENTRY RIGHT WHERE THE DOORS OPEN. PUT IT IN THE LARGER LOUNGE SO YOU DON’T BLOCK TRAFFIC.

3. Post a sign saying to wait for a Camp Staff Member to Check-out People.

If you are with other camp staff—have the staff inspect the student’s room

4. When a student requests to check-out, Inspect their room. Make sure:

--it is fairly clean; it need not be spic and span but should not have junk lying around

--inspect the bed, cabinet, dresser, desk, window, doors. Any damage?

--mess on floor/anywhere in the room

--any broken or scraped desks, bed, cabinet, window shades, etc.

--any items they need to take out

Make sure student has taken everything out of their room except the fridge (which we handle, later)

--if the person is rooming with someone staying an extra week—the side of the room where the person is leaving should be clean and free of damage

5. FRIDGES, FANS, PILLOWS-SHEETS

--Inspect the fan/fridge to make sure they are clean/not broken.

--Check off the student as having received their fridge/fan. MARK them off.

--Students return pillows and sheets and blankets to us.

--Students bring the fans, pillows and sheets downstairs

--PUT RETURNED FANS, FRIDGES, PILLOWS, SHEETS, ETC. INTO THE KITCHEN/DINING AREA OUT OF SIGHT—DO NOT LEAVE THEM IN THE LOUNGES.

6. Downstairs, CHECK OFF THE STUDENT-ROOM LIST.

--make sure you have the students’ keys and at that point, the student is officially checked out.

--keep the keys organized

--TAKE NOTE OF WHICH KEYS HAVE BEEN TURNED IN AND WHICH ONES ARE MISSING—YOU NEED TO EMAIL THIS TO JIM; it is needed to keep track of missing keys so we can fine kids that did not turn them in.

--make sure you have the fridge and fan that was in the room. if a student rented a pillow, they can keep it or return it; it does not matter.

7. ASSIST WITH RESIDENCE HALL CLEANUP PER ROB AND JIM’S INSTRUCTIONS

This entails removing items from emptied rooms, organizing fans, pillows, sheets, towels, fridges in the lounge, other clean up.

 

8. CLEANING THE FRIDGES

Here is what Paul Dennis said in 2007 about cleaning the Fridges (he is in charge of them):

1.  This year, several units were left with melting ice cream in the freezing compartments which, of course, was dripping down into the rest of the refrigerator.  Many units had unpackaged "chunks of food" left in them. Several units looked as if, according to the staffers that had to clean them, they had had a "soda bomb" go off in them.  (Meaning, pop bottles/cans had been left open in them and spilled all over the insides or the bottles/cans had been shaken-up and then placed inside the refrigerator to spray.  Most of the units on the list that were described as "dirty" (not" dirty!") were ones that had not been defrosted and dried.  The defrosting process needs to be started the day before they are to be returned since it takes several hours for the ice to melt after the refrigerator is unplugged and the door is left open.  After the melting process is when the cleaning and drying needs to occur.

 

2.  What to look for when you check to see if they are clean?  In order to avoid cleaning charges starting next year, your staff needs to be sure that the renters have defrosted the units with freezer units early enough that the ice in them has melted.  That melted ice needs to be completely wiped up so that the unit is dry.  Lastly, each unit needs to be wiped out with a mild detergent solution ("409" or some product similar) making sure to clean under the plastic door gaskets (especially at the bottom of the door).  This is the same process that I demand of all students who rent during the academic year before they can receive the refund of their cleaning deposit.

 

3.  As the note I included with the file copy of the JV for rental charges mentioned, if the Conference and Events Summer Staffers have to spend ANY time cleaning the refrigerators before they can be stored, we will need to apply the $25.00 cleaning charge per refrigerator.

 

WHAT TO DO IF A STUDENT FAILS CHECK-OUT?

Room/Fridge cleanup: Have them clean until satisfactory. No wet fridges.

Missing Fan? The cost is $25.

Missing Fridge? The cost is whatever Summer Conferences charge. I would guess $100ish.

Missing Key? $25 per key

Missing Pillow? Irrelevant. The pillow is owned by the student although they can return the pillow to us.

Missing Hangers? Irritating but no fee.
