DESCRIPTION:

The CARES program offers a balance between structured adult-initiated activities and child-initiated activities, indoor and outdoor play, and quiet time for homework. 

The CARES moderators work together to provide a well-supervised, structured morning or afternoon of play and activities. After school CARES offers a scheduled homework period with assistance from the moderators if needed. A snack is provided each day at 3:30 p.m. after free playtime. 

There is a $30 annual registration fee per child. The cost of the program is $8.75 an hour per child.

A monthly calendar is sent out one week prior to the beginning of each month so that a reservation for each child can be made. The completed calendar and payment are due on the first of each month and is submitted to the school office, Attn: CARES.

In case of inclement weather, CARES is not open when the school is closed for the day. However, if the school is open initially and then closes for early dismissal, CARES will remain open until all parents have an opportunity to pick up their children. 

Parents are expected to respect CARES closure time. Prompt pickup time of the children is appreciated. 

Enrollment in CARES is accepted throughout the school year.
