Extended Care is a program which coordinates before and after school activities for students of Holy Family School. This program offers supervision by adult group leaders in a Christian environment. Extended Care operates only on regular school days. Services are not available on holidays, vacations, or summer months.
The program is limited to those students who attend Holy Family School. 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 hours are from 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM and 3:00PM to 6:00 PM on regularly scheduled school days. The Extended Care is open on minimum days. On minimum days the hours for extension will be 7:00 AM -8:00 AM and 12:00 NOON to 6:00 PM, excluding those days with holiday breaks (Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter) and the last day of school. All children must bring lunches on
minimum days since no lunch program is available on these days.
Grades K-8 are grouped by grade level. The after school program includes snack, arts and crafts, recreation, and homework time.
Fees And Monthly Payments Extended Care Program Registration Fee is $40.00 which is non-refundable. Monthly payments are to be made in advance, by the 15th of each month. We do not offer drop in services. We do not offer credit for absences or school holidays. The Extended Care is closed on school holidays and teacher inservice days.

Arrival And Departure Regulations
For the safety of your children, all children must be signed IN/OUT by a parent or authorized adult each time they use the Extended Care. Children will be released to authorized adults only (those listed on the emergency form). Parents should not take children from the playground or other areas without notifying the Extended Care staff and signing the children out. The Extended Care staff is instructed to
ask for picture identification from any parent or adult they do not recognize. For the protection of all the children, these rules will be strictly enforced. Students who attend Extended Care after school must check in immediately after school (12:00 PM on minimum days). Students arriving late are required to have a written excuse from their classroom teacher.
If an emergency arises, and someone not listed on the emergency form needs to pick up your child, the extension staff requires written permission from the parents. Upon arrival the individual will be asked to show picture identification. This precaution is for your child’s safety.

Illness Or Injury
For minor injuries, first aid will be administered on the premises, and an accident report will be completed and sent home to parents. For more serious injuries, parents will be contacted. In an extreme emergency where time is important, the child will be taken to the nearest emergency room or as directed on the emergency form. For illness, parents will be contacted and are expected to make arrangements to take sick children home.

Discipline
As part of a caring Christian community, all children will be treated with respect and are expected to respect staff, each other, property and materials provided. As an extension of the school, the rules and regulations of Holy Family School also apply to Extended Care.

 Medication
Children who require medication during extension hours must have a completed medication permission slip on file in the school and Extended Care offices. Medication must be in the original labeled container with the child’s name and dosage required. Medication received without following the above guidelines WILL NOT BE ADMINISTERED. Each change of medication requires a new medication permission slip. Over the counter or prescription medicine of any kind does not belong with the child in a school setting. Medicine found on a child will be sent to the office.
