PROGRAM INFORMATION
Director: Mrs. Gabriela Navarro
Dear Parents:
Welcome to the St. Rosalia Academy After School Care Program. Please take the time to read the following procedures and regulations regarding the program.
1. Children will only be released to a designated person on their release form. If there is a change to the release form, please submit the change to the office.
2. The program will be provided on full days of school, as scheduled on the school calendar. There will not be After School Care on early dismissal days.
3. Snack time takes place at about 3:15 P.M. and is $0.50 per child, per day. Anyone leaving before this time will not have to purchase a snack.
4. A weekly schedule is to be completed and placed in an envelope labeled as follows: Name, Grade, and Attention: After School Program. Payment and the weekly schedule are always due on the Friday prior to the week that the program is needed.
EXAMPLE: If the program is needed Monday 9/12/11 the payment and schedule are due Friday 9/9/11.
The charge for the program is $ 5.00 per hour, per child, plus $0.50 for a snack.
EXAMPLE: If one child attends the program for three hours the charge is $15.50 (including snack). A late fee of $2.00 will be added for any pick up after 5:30 P.M. NO EXCEPTIONS
5. The program begins at dismissal time and ends promptly at 5:30 P.M. Again, anyone picking up a child after 5:30 P.M. will be assessed a late fee of $2.00, NO EXCEPTIONS. When making out your schedule, please use the start time of 2:30 P.M.
6. Make checks payable to ST. ROSALIA AFTER SCHOOL CARE PROGRAM. Your cancelled check is your receipt. If a check is returned to us from the bank, you will be required to pay for all service charges. If the school receives two returned checks, checks will no longer be accepted.
7. We require advance scheduling in order to properly prepare for the children. However, in case of emergencies, you may call the school office to schedule After School Care on the day that it is needed.
8. If there is a change in your child’s schedule you must contact the school by note or phone to report the change.
If your child is scheduled for after school care and IS NOT going that day you MUST report this change to the school office at (412)521-3005 between the hours of 9:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. We will not accept a child’s verbal report that he or she is not attending aftercare on a scheduled day. Your call to the school ensures your child’s after school safety.
9. Your child/children will be removed from the program for lack of payment, discipline problems, or not following the policies in the St. Rosalia Academy handbook. The After School Care Program is considered an extension of the St. Rosalia Academy day. All the rules and regulations stated in the St. Rosalia Academy handbook will be strictly enforced. Please go over these rules with your child/children.
10. The program is held on the Terrace Floor of the School Building. When arriving to pick up your child/children, please:
· Use the Pre-School Entrance on Greenfield Avenue.
AND
· Use your cell phone to call Mrs. Navarro upon your arrival (doors will be locked for the safety of the children).
- If you do not have a cell phone, you will need to walk up to the first group of windows on the left side of the door in order to let Mrs. Navarro know that you have arrived.
11. A typical schedule for the program involves play time, snack time, and quiet activities or homework.
