Attendance
Students are expected to follow the same standards of conduct and behavior while in their After-School Programs that are required during the regular school day. Failure to do so can result in removal from the program.
Our goal is for students to thrive in their After-School Programs. If a student is experiencing disinterest, struggling to adhere to behavior expectations, or the class is deemed not a good fit for the student, we will partner with families to find an alternative program or option for care for the student.
Students who are not at school before 11:40 am may not participate in After-School Programs or Clubhouse that day.
If a student is absent from school on any given day, then they cannot attend After-School Programs.
Technology
Students are not permitted to use cell phones or wear smartwatches during After-School Programs or Clubhouse.
Devices such as Chromebooks or laptops can only be used when/if completing homework assigned by a classroom teacher.
Snack
A healthy, no-nut snack and a water bottle are encouraged for all After-School Programs. Please pack a labeled extra snack for After-School/Clubhouse in your child’s backpack. Kindly note that After-School/Clubhouse does not provide snacks.
