AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS & PROGRAMS
St. Catherine of Siena School provides a wide variety of activities outside the classroom. It is our hope to develop character and fair play, as well as physical or mental skill through these activities. We encourage our parents to participate in these activities by volunteering to help or be present at these events.
Participation in these after school programs is a privilege. Students are expected to behave according to the school's behavior expectations at all times.
Parents must complete a sign-up/permission slip prior to their student's participation in any after school program. Students that are not picked up on time will be sent to Day Care, and parents will be charged the daily Drop-In fee.
Some of these programs have additional fees that must be paid by the parent. If fees are not paid in a timely manner, student participation will be stopped until that fee is paid.
These programs are an opportunity to develop responsibility and provide students with an additional outlet for their gifts and interests. We encourage parents to discuss the concept of "making a commitment" to these programs as their students choose to sign-up for them.
The director/supervisor of each after school program has the authority to stop a student's participation. The principal reserves the right to review final decisions in these cases.
Extra-Curricular Agreement
St. Catherine of Siena School is proud of its extra-curricular activities and traditions. It is the aim of these programs to build a sense of fair play, teamwork, leadership and commitment. With these goals in mind, each student and parent is required to join in an agreement before beginning any extracurricular activity. Failure to adhere to any conditions of the agreement will then require the participant to be placed on probation status or dropped from the activity. No athlete will be issued a team shirt or attend a scheduled event until this agreement has been accepted by the administrator.
