​​Afterschool Activities 

St. Genevieve offers a plethora of afterschool activities to enrich the development of your child. However, in order to attend afterschool activities, including try-outs of any kind, students must be present at school during the day. Partial absences due to medical appointments excluded. All students should report to daycare afterschool (free of charge) until their coach/director arrives to begin practice. If a practice is cancelled at the last minute (day-of) for any reason including the coach/teacher being ill, all students may report to daycare FREE OF CHARGE until their regularly scheduled activity would have been over. Once the activity ends, there is a 15- minute grace period for parents to pick up their student. After 15 minutes, they will be sent to daycare and parents will be charged. An afterschool activity from 3:30 – 4:30 does not equal free daycare until 6pm. ​

Athletics

Students in grades K-8 are invited to participate in the St. Genevieve Valiant Athletics afterschool program. Each individual athletic program will require a $85 fee. Parents will be required to provide transportation for their students to and from practices and games. All school rules apply to the sports program. Students must be in good academic standing to participate (above a 2.0 at all times during the season). Practice time and days will be up to the coach’s discretion. All students in sports should report to daycare (free of charge) until their coach arrives for practice time. They should not wait on the benches or in the Main Office.

Band/Drumline 

Students in grades 3-8 are invited to participate in the St. Genevieve afterschool advanced band programs at the discretion of the band director. Each individual afterschool band program will be assessed a fee and parents may be required to assist in the overall fundraising requirements for the band, separate from the general fundraising parents must do for the school. All school rules apply to the members of the band program. Students must remain in good academic standing to participate (above a 2.0) and have good conduct in the classroom (S or above). Practice times, days and week-end tournaments are up to the band director’s discretion. All students in band/drumline should report to daycare (free of charge) until their coach arrives for practice time. They should not wait on the benches or in the Main Office. ​​

Choir

Students in grades K-6 are invited to participate in the St. Genevieve Children’s Choirs after school. All students in choir should report to daycare (free of charge) until their coach arrives for practice time. They should not wait on the benches or in the Main Office.​

Additional Afterschool Activities

 St. Genevieve is proud to offer additional afterschool activities including but not limited to Academic Decathlon, Spirit Squad, Dance, and Theater Productions. All afterschool activities are associated with an additional fee to help off-set the program. All school rules apply to the programs. Students must be in good academic standing to participate (above a 2.0 at all times during the season). Practice time and days will be up to the coach/teacher’s discretion. All students should report to daycare (free of charge) until their coach/teacher arrives for practice time. They should not wait on the benches or in the Main Office.

Daycare/Homework Time

The Daycare/Homework Time is a service to parents who cannot pick up their children after school or who would like their child/children to receive tutoring with an adult to help with homework. Your child’s safety is our number one priority. Children must be picked up within 15 minutes of dismissal, (3:15 on full days and 1:00 on half days) or they will be sent to the after school program. Students MAY NOT wait in the office or on the benches for their parents to pick them up. Older siblings from the high school may not leave campus with elementary students or take them to the high school side to wait for parents. Please DO NOT put your child in an unsafe or awkward position by telling them not to report to daycare when all school staff will direct them to report to daycare at 3:15/1:00pm.

​There will be a daily fee of $15 per child charged for students sent to the Program.  ​​​​​

Schedule for Daycare/Homework Time​​

Daycare/Homework Time begins with a break time for students at the close of the school day where they can eat a snack and play briefly. At 3:15/3:30 pm, students return to classrooms to work in grade levels to complete homework with the assistance of hired staff. Reading/Language Arts and Math are prioritized subjects. Homework Time does not ensure that your child will finish all homework nor that all their homework will be 100% correct. It is still the parent’s responsibility to check all homework each night.

​​After​​ homework time concludes at 4:15/4:30, students are permitted to play in shifts.

All students MUST be picked up by 6 pm or incur additional charges. ​​

Payment

 All monthly Homework Time and daycare fees will be added to FACTS tuition. Daily, incurred costs of Daycare/Homework Time should be paid in the main office.​

Individual Tutoring​​

At times students may need additional 1-on-1 tutoring with a classroom teacher. Services may be arranged with a teacher (this may not be their homeroom teacher) for 1:1 academic support (not homework) at the rate of $25 per hour. This fee is payable to the main office. Parents must complete the appropriate paperwork in the Main Office if a student is being tutored individually.
