District details wraparound, before- and aftercare: hours, fees and policies
Loading...
Summary
District staff described structured wraparound programming tied to preschool, with before-care 7:00''8:30, school start at 8:40, aftercare until 6 p.m., a $25 drop-in fee and expectations on potty training and allergies.
District staff and a wraparound supervisor used the session to explain how the district's childcare services connect to preschool. A wraparound supervisor (unnamed) described the program as structured time before and after preschool rather than unstructured childcare, and emphasized coordination between wraparound staff and preschool teachers.
Key hours: teachers are outside at 08:30 and the school day begins at 08:40; before care runs 07:00 to 08:30 and aftercare runs until 6:00 p.m. The supervisor said the wraparound program is not a free-for-all: "It's structured afternoon or morning for your child," with morning/afternoon meetings, stories and center time.
Fees and sign-ups: short-term drop-in aftercare is available for $25 (per the supervisor), while before- and after-care sign-ups are offered in 2-, 3- or 5-day options during summer registration. The supervisor explained how families notify the school if a child needs aftercare for an individual day: contact the school secretary or teacher and staff will communicate with the wraparound supervisor.
Health, routine and expectations: staff said children should be potty trained (with accommodations for occasional accidents), the district is peanut-free and cannot heat lunches for students. Staff also clarified how wraparound operates on half days and during transitions so students are supervised when moving between preschool and wraparound.
Next steps: families should register for wraparound at the same time as preschool (or add it later through their school), and contact school secretaries to arrange occasional drop-in care.
