Program Guidelines
Attendance
Parents should notify their child’s teacher regarding all days that they are registered for the ASP and promptly notify them of any changes. Parents are responsible for emailing their child’s teacher and the After School program when the child will not attend the program on a scheduled day. There are no make-ups, credits or refund for missed days.
Once your child has been signed out from school, they cannot be readmitted into the building to attend After School.
Pick-ups
PS101Q Main Entrance, starting at 3:50 p.m. At the designated pick up times, the students will be waiting for an authorized adult. Photo I.D. and sign out is required. The AS Program must receive advanced written notification if someone other than an authorized adult is picking up. We will not release the children to anyone that has not been authorized. Students with written permission from their parent/guardian to go home on their own are released after signing out from their last activity.
Late Pick-ups
If you or your authorized person is running late for pick up at dismissal time, please alert the program administrator, by phone at (phone TBD).
Pick-ups after scheduled pick-up time (4:00 p.m. or 6:00 p.m.) will incur a fee of $20 per child for every 15 minutes. In the event that my child is not picked up by program closure (6:00 p.m.) and a parent or emergency contact cannot be reached, my child may be taken to the NYC Police Department 112th Precinct.
Attire
Please send your children in comfortable clothing and rubber soled shoes for indoor/outdoor play. Students must keep change of clothes, if brought, in their backpacks.
Snacks
Students may bring their own snacks/food. Children with food allergies and/or dietary restrictions should bring their snacks in a bag labeled “After School snack”. Please send your child with a water bottle everyday. No glass containers.
Injuries
As stated in our program contract, should your child be injured and/or require medical attention and a parent/guardian cannot be reached for instructions, you grant us authority to obtain necessary emergency medical treatment for the child until family is notified and/or arrives.
Personal Items
Label all clothing, water bottles, lunch bags, jackets, backpacks, laptops, iPads, etc. The AS Program is not responsible for any items that are misplaced during the day or in After School. Labeled items will be returned to the student. All items found without labels will be placed in the lost and found area at the end of the day.
