Morning Care is offered for K-8 students only.  Parents can bring students to the K-8 building starting at 7am where they will spend time with our morning care staff until it is time to report to class.  This program costs $100 per month and must be paid at the beginning of each month.  To sign up for Morning Care, please email Mrs. McCue at k.mccue@wcasaints.com.

Attendance:

Your child will be dropped off by their classroom teacher to the aftercare location at the end of the school day.  Any change in your child's attendance must be in writing and given to your child's teacher and Mrs. Merritt 2 weeks in advance.  Your account will be billed for the number of days your child is registered to attend.

​

Late Pick Up Policy:

After 5:30pm you will be charged at the rate of $10 for every five (5) minutes. If a child is left after 6:15pm, the police may be notified of an abandoned child. Any habitual offenders (3 ) will be banned from all extended care programs to include before care and clubs without appeal. Locations for aftercare are PK3-1st grade in the preschool building and 2nd-8th grade are in the WCA K-8th building.

​

Activities and Homework:

Your preschool student will be given time on the playground as well as activities to stimulate their brain while they wait for pick up.   Your K-8 student will be given an opportunity to work on homework during after care time.  Please be aware that the after-care employees are not tutors and are there to monitor the safety of all students in their care.  They cannot require your student to do homework if they chose not to.  If your student choses not to work on homework, please make sure they have a book to read or an activity that they can work on for the duration of After Care.  They may not have electronic devices to use to keep them busy or entertained.

​

Health and Safety Policies:

If a child becomes ill the parent/guardian will be notified and given one hour to pick up the child. There is no medication on site to be administered to your child so it is imperative that you arrive in a timely fashion.  If the parent/guardian cannot be reached the staff will continue to call others on the emergency list until someone is reached.  

 

In the event of a serious injury or illness the parent/guardian will be notified for further instruction.  If no one can be reached and the situation warrants extra care 911 will be notified. All medical expenses are the responsibility of the parent.  

​

Snacks:

The parent/guardian must provide a nutritional snack and water each day.  Label an extra snack for After Care so the teacher will know to leave that snack in your child's lunch box.

​

Notification of Change:

It is extremely important that Wesley Christian Academy is notified immediately of any changes in home address, contact numbers or adults authorized to pick up your child. Changes at home should also be communicated so that the staff will be prepared to deal with any changes in behavior.

 

Communication:

It is difficult for the Program caregivers to have lengthy conversations as you are picking up your child.  If you need to speak with a caregiver, please send a ParentSquare to Ms. Bridgett Gibson and she will direct it to the appropriate location. You can also call the school during regular business hours and leave a message for administration to contact you.

 

Personal Items:

If a student chooses to bring personal items to the program they will be instructed to keep them put away in their backpack.  The staff of the program is not responsible for personal items that may be broken, stolen or lost.  All personal items should be labeled with the child's name.
