EXTENDED DAY PROGRAM

Extended Day Care is a program which coordinates before and after school activities for students of Saint Rose School and offers quality supervision during those hours. Extended Day operates only on regular school days. Services are not available on holidays, vacations, or summer months (with the exception of summer basketball camp hosted at St. Rose School).

The program is limited to those students who attend Saint Rose School. If your child is absent from school, he/she MAY NOT attend Extended Care. Parents choosing to use this service must formally register their child in the program by completing an Extended Day Care Agreement. A registration fee is required.

Every student attending Extended Care must have a parent, guardian or authorized person(s) on file to sign the student out. Any changes must be in writing, signed and dated. NO EXCEPTIONS! Emergency cards MUST be kept current.

The Extended Care program, staff and the school are all concerned and committed to the well-being, professional atmosphere, and safety of your children. These rules address our mutual co-operation on these issues.

Students must arrive in the Extension room immediately after school and check in! Notice is needed for emergency use. ( A recorder is also available for messages #786-0948) No child may return to the classroom after 3:15 p.m.
If a student has off-campus obligations, after school club, or a school team sports commitment, an Extended Day Care Extra Curricular Activities Permission Slip will need to be completed or the program director is to be notified.
Extended Day Care opens at 7:00 a.m. Before the morning loop begins (7:40 a.m.) any student dropped off at school must attend Extended Day Care. The student must check in with Extended Day Care staff and program usage will be billed accordingly. All program fees are rounded to the quarter hour and billed monthly.
After the "loop" is completed, any student not picked up at dismissal time is sent to Extended Day Care and must check in with the Extended Day Care staff. Emergency (drop-in) fees are due when billed. The amount due will be rounded to the quarter hour beginning at dismissal time.
Students are responsible for signing in before and/or after on-campus sport or club activities. Students must notify the Extended Day Care staff if they will be returning from their activity. Students using Extended Day Care in conjunction with a school team sport must be released to the coach by an Extended Day Care staff member.
Children must stay in supervised areas only. Changing from one area to another (playground, library, etc.) is only permitted with permission from Extended Care staff.
Children need to be courteous, display sportsmanship, Christian behavior and respect for each other, staff and all property. No fighting will be tolerated. Defiance toward Extended Care staff is unacceptable. Serious behavioral problems will be referred to the Princiipal and may result in suspension.
Study hall is offered to those students who are serious about completing homework. Disturbances are not productive and your child will be asked to leave if he/she is the cause of the disruption.
Children are responsible for their own homework assignments and for returning play item and equipment to their proper place. (Missing equipment is one of our largest expenses).
Children who show signs of illness should remain home. If you are contacted to pick up your child for illness or behavior problems, you must make arrangements for your child to be picked up within the hour. Emergency cards must be kept current and all medications and necessary forms are required in compliance with school policy.
Children may use the phone only with Extended Day Care staff approval.
Children MAY NOT bring toys or possessions from home.
Snacks are provided on a daily basis for registered students who attend Extended Day Care. If a child has food allergies (i.e., peanut products) it is advisable that their parent provide a non-perishable snack to be kept in Extended Day Care. Extended Day Care staff will be glad to store special snacks in the Extended Day Care room for students with special food requirements.
Policies regarding school computer and internet use apply in Extended Day Care as stated in the St. Rose School Parent/Student Handbook.
Rules and discipline procedures are posted in the Extended Day Care room.
