PROGRAM SCHEDULE (Elementary)
The BAS program runs during the school year. It is available on all regularly scheduled school days, "in-service" days, and February and April vacation weeks.
The morning session starts at 7:30 a.m. and ends at 9:00 a.m. The afternoon session starts at 3:30 p.m. and ends at 6:00 p.m. On scheduled half days, the afternoon session begins immediately following dismissal.
When school is delayed due to weather conditions, the program is delayed accordingly. A child may be registered for morning, afternoon, both, or any combination of mornings and afternoons, Monday through Friday.
Temporary care will be considered where space permits. This type of request and the appropriate forms must be completed in advance of using the program.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
- To provide safe, supervised before and after school activity for children of both working and non-working parents.
- To provide an environment that promotes the development of personal and interpersonal relationships between and among children through one-to-one and group activities.
- To provide developmentally appropriate structured and unstructured activities indoors and outdoors.
