After School Program

 

Hours of Operation
The Before-School Program operates daily from 7:00 – 8:10.

The After-School Program operates from 3:40 – 6:00.

The program is offered on regularly scheduled school days and early release days. We
are closed during scheduled school holidays, professional learning
days, and when the school is closed due to inclement weather or any
other emergency.

● Parents can enroll students for the program online via RevTrak.
● We reserve the right to deny admittance to any child who
endangers the safety of other students.
● Due to limited space, acceptance into the program will be on a
first-come, first-served basis. A $25.00 registration fee per
student is due at the time of enrollment.

Any student withdrawing from the “Before and /or After School
Program” must provide the director with written notification one
week prior to the date of withdrawal. Without prior notification, you
will be charged, and payment is still due.

 

Our PBIS school expectations apply to the Before and After School
Program to ensure a safe environment.
● We are responsible.
● We are respectful.
● We are safe.
● We are ready to learn.

 

The Before/After School Program will enforce the same rules and
guidelines set forth in the Columbia County Board of Education
Elementary School Code of Student Conduct.

● Disrespect, defiance, disruptive, and inappropriate behavior will
be addressed immediately.
● A student will be dismissed from the program for inappropriate
behavior at any time at the discretion of school administrators
and the director of the program.
● On the third time a parent is contacted for a child’s behavior, the
child may be dismissed from the program.
● No refunds will be given in the event of a student’s dismissal
from the program.

● All fees are paid on the RevTrak payment system.
● A registration fee of $25.00 per student is due at the time of
enrollment.
● The weekly fee for “Before School” is $20.00.
● The weekly fee for “After School” is $45.00
● The weekly fee for both “Before School and After School” is
$65.00.
● Payments may be made weekly, every two weeks, or monthly.
However, remember that payment is due every Monday for the
current week.
● Payments for the current week must be received no later than
6:00 p.m. on Friday in order to avoid a $10.00 late charge.
● Payment for the entire week is required as long as your child is
enrolled in the program. Payment is due by the due date
whether a child attends zero days or all five days.

● Accounts not paid by Friday of the current week will be
withdrawn from the program. Balance due cannot be carried
forward.
● Students who are not picked up by 6:00 p.m. will be charged
$1.00 per late minute per child after 6:00 p.m. Please be
respectful of our workers and be on time to pick up your child.
● Payment summaries for tax purposes are available through the
RevTrak payment system.
● Notify the classroom teacher by note or email if changes occur
in how your child will be going home.

If there is an emergency involving your child, we will follow normal
emergency procedures. If your child is seriously injured, we will
apply first aid, call 911, and contact a parent. Please keep emergency
contacts and phone numbers updated.

The Columbia County School District has sovereign immunity under
Georgia law for student and visitor accidents. If a child has an
accident while at school, including the Before or After School
Program, the parents will be responsible for any incurred medical
bills.

 

After School snacks are provided. Students may also have their water
bottle during snack.

● Before School, students must be walked into the school and
signed in at the front door by a parent.
● Please do not allow students to bring toys from home to play
with during Before or After School (stuffed animals, Pokémon
cards, etc.). This has proven to be very problematic.
● Students may participate in the school breakfast program when
they are released from the Before School Program at 8:10 am.
● After School students will be picked up in the front office no
later than 6:00 p.m.
● In the afternoon, a picture ID from an adult listed on the
enrollment form is required before a student is released. We will

not allow your child to leave with anyone not listed. If
circumstances require someone different to pick up your child, a
signed note is required from the parent in advance.
● Parents will sign students out of the program on the computer
in the office.
● Please keep in mind that you will be charged $1.00 per late
minute per child after 6:00 p.m. This will be payable in cash at
time of pick-up.

Program.
