Dear St. Columba School Families,
We understand the challenges parents face in balancing work and family life, and we're pleased to offer our After School Program as a supportive option for those who need extra care for their children after regular school hours. Our program is designed to create a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for children, providing them with various activities, including play, art, homework time, and games.
All Are Welcome!
Admissions:
All children enrolled in St. Columba School are automatically enrolled in the After School Program. It is a privilege extended to students of our school, with the expectation that they follow the rules and spirit of St. Columba School.
Our Philosophy:Our program is dedicated to providing a safe, creative and fun atmosphere for children whose parents cannot be home after school. We strive to create an enjoyable environment with diverse activities, respecting the need for relaxation after a long day at school. Activities are not mandatory, and children can choose from a variety of games, both indoors and outdoors under supervision.
Proper clothing for weather conditions is crucial, especially during winter when snow clothing is required for outdoor play. We believe in the importance of fresh air and outdoor play for children's health.
Charges:
The After School Program begins at 3:05 pm, and there is no charge for care from 3:05-3:15 pm. A $5.00 charge is assessed per student at 3:15 pm, with an additional charge at 4:15 pm. If a student is not picked up by 5:30 pm, a charge of $10.00 every 5 minutes, per student, will be applied. It is essential that children be signed out by an authorized person listed in the school office, and anyone new to our After School staff will be asked to show identification.
Health & Safety:
Our After School supervisors have access to necessary health information and emergency contacts. First aid supplies are available, and the staff will contact parents, the principal, or emergency services as needed. You can feel confident that your child is in caring hands!
Program:
At 3:05 pm, students attending After School must check in with the staff after placing their belongings on designated hooks. A snack is provided at 3:30 pm for all children signed into the program. For students attending STEM or other school classes after school, sign-in to After School is allowed, and charges apply from sign-in until pick-up.
Parents/guardians must sign out students, and any child on the school grounds at 3:15 pm will be signed into the After School Program. If you have any questions or need clarification on policies, charges, or special circumstances, please contact the school office.
