(If you plan on using the program three times a week or more, this is the best deal).
“Occasional” is defined as possibly needing to use the program based on a variety of factors to include but not limited to: needing to run errands after school and cannot be there by 3:15 p.m., one child is involved in extra curricular activities and another child is at school due to inconvenience of picking up children at two different times, Parent(s) may work beyond school dismissal time one or more of the school days (i.e. early dismissal days), etc.
“Emergency” is defined as some unforeseen event whereby a parent or Emergency Contact person(s) cannot pick up your child(ren) within fifteen minutes of school dismissal. After 15 minutes any child who is not picked up will automatically be enrolled into the Extended Care Program. This is to ensure the safety and well-being of each child here at Sacred Heart School.
