​

Illness/Accident

Children who are ill should not be in school. If a child becomes ill in the Extended Day Program, their parents will be called for immediate pick-up, (please note children must be fever-free for 24 hours). If the parents are unavailable, the next name on the Emergency Contact will be called. If a child has an accident during the Extended Day Program, parents will be notified.

​

Behavior/Discipline

The Extended Day Program is a privilege. It is part of the Old St. Mary’s School program; so the same expectations of good conduct are assumed. The program strives to provide an environment that focuses on children managing their own behavior. Children are expected to demonstrate and maintain appropriate and safe behavior. When a discipline problem develops, the staff will attempt to redirect a child to an appropriate activity whenever possible. The staff will separate a child from the group if they are misbehaving, and the staff will explain to the child why they are being disciplined. The child will be asked to rejoin the group when they feel ready. If a child continues to misbehave, then a meeting between the Director and the child’s parents will be set up to work out a resolution. 

 

Toys

Personal belongings, such as toys and electronic games, are not allowed in the Extended Day Program.

​

After School Procedures

At dismissal, children in the Extended Day Program will be taken to their designated classrooms. Any child who is not picked up within 10 minutes of the 2:45PM (PK) 3:00PM (K-8) dismissal will be taken directly to the Extended Day program and checked-in by the teacher. Children may be picked up any time prior to 6:00 P.M. Only those persons are allowed to pick up the children. If school staff is unfamiliar with the person designated to pick up a child, identification will be requested. Parents/guardians should go directly to the front office to sign out their child. Parents are expected to pick up their children on time each day. All children must be picked up by 6:00 P.M. A late fee of $25 will be charged for every 15 minutes after 6:00. Consistent late pick up will result in the child being withdrawn from the program. When Parents/ Guardians and emergency contacts cannot be reached, local authorities may be called.

​

Authorized Pick-Up Considerations

The Extended Day Program staff must be alerted to any special concerns regarding custody, visitation, etc. Court orders must be placed on file with the school office if a parent is restricted from contact with a child. When the Registration is completed, the parents must indicate the names of all persons who are authorized to sign out a child from the Extended Day Program.
