A Message about Supervision Afterschool
To ensure the safety and proper supervision of all students after school, we are implementing updates and reminders to our afterschool dismissal and Extended Care procedures, effective January 6, 2025. Please review the details below carefully to understand how these changes may impact your family.
Dismissal Procedures
- Parent Pick-Up:
- Students must be picked up promptly at dismissal no later than 3:15 p.m. Any students who are not picked up by 3:15 p.m. and are not part of a specific extracurricular activity will be signed into Extended Care.
- All parents/guardians/designated pick-up adults must use arrival and dismissal carline or park in our designated lot INSIDE our school yard. The outer lot should be used only for parish visitors and staff parking only during arrival and dismissal.
- Students are not permitted to wait at the church or any unsupervised area (gym or Ministry Center) even if given permission to walk home. All students who walk home must walk off parish and school property with the intent to go home. Any students found to be waiting in areas unsupervised around the school and parish campus will immediately be signed into Extended Care.
- Transition to Extended Care:
- Any student not picked up within five (5) minutes of dismissal of any afterschool extracurricular activity will be escorted to our Extended Care program through 6 p.m.
- This policy ensures that no student is left unsupervised.
- Permission to Walk Home:
- Students with express written permission to walk home may leave directly after dismissal. Please ensure this permission is updated with the school office and classroom teacher if applicable.
Please be sure to update your designated pick up adults if your student will be playing any CYO sports and will need to be picked up by coaches. Students are NOT allowed to walk from any classroom, afterschool club, or Extended Care to the gym unsupervised.
Extended Care Procedures
- Check-In Process:
Students escorted to Extended Care will be checked in by staff. - Extended Care Costs:
- Pick-Up from Extended Care:
Parents/guardians must sign their child(ren) out of Extended Care at the Extended Care room. - Fees: $8/hour for registered users or $10/hour for drop-in unregistered users. Fees are billed in ½ hour increments and are due at time of use. Payments can be made online.
Your Cooperation is Essential
We kindly ask for your partnership in adhering to these updated procedures to ensure the safety and well-being of all students.
If you have any questions or need to update your child’s dismissal permissions, please contact Elizabeth Falleiro, Extended Care director, or Lana Rocheford, Principal.
