No. Children are enrolled in our After-School Program for the academic year. Enrollment for the following year begins in February.

Please notify the After-School Program of any changes in your schedule that may affect your child's attendance. Please also inform us of any changes to your contact information so we are always up to date on how to reach you.

After school Program session is at 2:45pm - 6:00pm Monday – Friday, except Wednesdays and other minimum days, when ASP runs from 1:15pm - 6:00pm

Regular attendance is encouraged but not required. Families can pick up students at any time. Please be sure to bring a note for early pick-ups.

Our expectation is that all of our families adhere to the same "no phone" policy as we use during the regular day. We understand that parents wish their children to have cellphones in cases of emergency, and while we want to encourage the embracing of technology, we ask that parents support us in reminding students that these phones should ONLY be used in emergencies. If you need to contact your children during program, please do not hesitate to call us at (510) 592-4410. PLEASE DO NOT TEXT OR CALL YOUR CHILDREN DIRECTLY. This may confuse our students decision making when it comes to cellphone usage.

1st through 5th graders are expected to report to the upper playground area after the last school bell rings. There is an allowance for travel time and bathrooms breaks, but any other activities must be communicated with the After-School program.

For safety reasons, we do not allow students to leave campus while participating with the program. By extension, this means that children are not allowed to go to the vendors located around the school.

As per grant policy, and in order for us to provide robust, quality programming, students are required to be present for the after school session in the same manner as they are expected to stay for a full school day.

The After-School provides a window for pick-up extending until 6:00 PM. After 6:00 PM, a fee of $1.00 per minute will be charged. Please make every effort to be on time or to contact us at in an emergency.

Our program curriculum is not designated as a "homework club." While we support the academic success of all of our students, homework as a learning tool is most effective when it involves the family.
