St. Leo School

After School Care

 

PHILOSOPHY

St. Leo Catholic School has designed an After School Care Program to meet the needs of K-8 children and their working parents.  Our purpose is to provide a child-oriented, safe, stimulating, and happy environment which allows children to interact freely with others.  The program will offer a variety of activities which include:  recreation and games, reading, homework time, and videos. 

 

REGISTRATION

Attached you will find the registration form.  Please note on a separate paper any characterization that you feel we need to know about your child; which will enable us to ensure a successful after school experience.

 

HOURS OF OPERATION

The program will operate from the time school is dismissed until 5:45pm.  After School Care is not available during school holidays.

 

BILLING INFORMATION

A payment envelope with the previous month's charges will be sent home each month.  Please send your payment back to school in the After School Care envelope.  NO REGULAR TUITION PAYMENTS ARE TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS ENVELOPE.  Report cards will not be issued until all outstanding fees are paid in full.  Contact the Director if there are any special requests or concerns you may have regarding billing.

 

PICK-UP

Parents are REQUIRED to sign their child/ren out daily.  The staff MUST be notified in advance, in writing, if someone other than the parents or authorized person/s on the registration form will pick up a child.  No child is allowed to walk home alone or leave with someone not authorized by the parent on the registration form.  In case of last minute (emergency) child pick-up arrangements, please call the school office before or ASAP during After School Care hours.

 

LATE PICK-UP

For every minute a parent is late picking up a child after 5:45pm, a late pick-up fee of $1.00 per minute will be charged on your next monthly bill.  After the fourth (4th) late pick-up, the child may be excluded from the program.

 

If your child has not been picked up by 6:00pm and no notification has been given, one of the emergency persons will be called to pick up the child.

 

Once your child has been picked up by the emergency person, a sign will be posted on the outside of the gym door telling the name of the person who picked up the child and the After School Care Staff will leave.

 

If you pick up your child BEFORE the emergency person has arrived, it is your responsibility to contact that person or wait until that person arrives.  The After School Care Staff will leave as soon as you pick up your child.

 

HOW TO CONTACT ASC IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

If you will be late picking up your child/ren due to an emergency, please call the school office ASAP at

SNACKS

MEDICATION

Medication will be administered only with specific instructions in writing from the physician.  The form for this can be obtained in your school handbook or the school office.
