Behavior code: Students are held accountable for maintaining good behavior. School rules and policies apply to all after-school programs. Students and parents must abide by the policies outlined in our Parent-Student Handbook.
Pick-up Procedure: Students must be picked up by a guardian 18 years or older. Guardians will use the pedestrian or driveway call boxes to have students escorted to the pick-up location. A member of the Afterschool Staff will fill out the attendance sheet with the student pick-up time, Guardian’s relationship to students, and signature. This facilitates the assurance of the safety and accountability of all students during after-school hours.
Snacks: Students must bring their snacks and water. Students are strongly encouraged to pack an extra lunch, snack, and water on early dismissal days. They may not request reheating or hot water for lunches or snacks. After-school staff will accept snack and water donations throughout the school year.
Donations: Any donations of games, snacks, supplies, and toys are appreciated and will be eligible for service hours. Please submit your receipt with your student’s name written to the After-school staff.
*Overdue Balances: Any family with an account one month past due may only stay in the After-school Program once the balance clears. After-school staff will attempt to reach the student’s guardians and emergency contacts to arrange pick-up or payment.
*2022–2023 BALANCES: If you still need to clear a balance from the 22-23 school year, please make arrangements to clear that amount before enrolling in the After-school Program this year.
