Before & After School Policies and Programs
Extended care is offered at the school daily until 6:00 pm.
As a service to working parents, Santa Rosa de Lima Catholic School is offering the Extended Care Program.
The purpose of this program is to provide a high quality, affordable program in a safe, wholesome and
caring environment for its students before and/or after school hours.
In this convenient and familiar setting, Christian values and the social and personal needs of the children
with working parents are nurtured. Since this program is an extension of the school day, its design is
supportive of the policies and procedures of Santa Rosa de Lima Catholic School. The school will follow
guidelines approved by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Department of Education.
Activities are planned with an emphasis on student safety, fun and active participation under the direction of
the adult supervisors.
Expectations
The Extended Day Program is a privilege, not a right. Since the program is an extension of the regular
school day, the same expectations for cooperation by students and parents are expected. Families who
consistently violate the policies and procedures of the Extended Day Program will be dismissed from the program by the principal.
Parent responsibilities include:
- Completion of all Extended Day Program forms – Student Release Authorization, Identification for
Pick Up, Family Agreement, Medical Release Form etc.
- Support program policies and procedures
- Comply with the Sign In/Sign Out Procedures
- Collaboration with the Principal and Extended Day Program personnel
- Meeting all financial obligations in a timely manner.
Student responsibilities includes:
- Respect for all EDP staff, fellow students and property
- Use of appropriate language and voice level
- Participation and cooperation in all EDP activities
- Keeping the EDP facilities clean and neat
- Consideration for others – sharing, taking turns, no bullying, no fighting, etc.
- Following Extended Day Program rules
- Asking permission from staff for restroom use
- Remaining inside the EDP areas and staying with the group until they are picked up.
Discipline
guidelines, including rules and consequences, are established by the EDP personnel with approval
from the principal. These guidelines are clearly communicated to students, staff, and parents. In
extreme cases, a student may be asked to withdraw from the Extended Day Program.
Additional Information to Note
- Archdiocesan student insurance covers students during the time of the program
- Programs under the auspices of elementary schools may only serve those students presently
enrolled in the formal school program
- The school requires up-to-date family information, emergency contact information, and maintains a
record of arrivals and departures
- The school may arrange with independent contractors or entities to provide extended care
programs.
- Students may not remain on the school premises after school hours without proper supervision.
- Students who have not been picked up within 15 minutes after the end of the school day and are not
involved in a properly supervised activity such as sports, yearbook, etc., will automatically be sent to
extended care.
- Students who have not been picked up within ten minutes of the end of any extracurricular activities
will also be sent to extended care.
- Extended care is offered after school every day that school is in session from dismissal time until
6:00 pm, including early dismissal days (unless otherwise announced by the principal or printed in
the calendar).
While the extended care program provides supervised time for students to work on their homework, the
extended care program is not a tutoring service and cannot provide one-on-one instruction. It is the
parents’ responsibility to make sure that a child’s homework is completed.
Full-time: If your child(ren) is/are going to attend extended care on a full time basis, the fees must be
included with tuition payments and paid via Smart Tuition.
Tuition will be billed at the end of every month.
