ABOUT THE STAFF
WHY EDP?
|
Our Extended Day Program rates will be increasing for the 2022-2023 school year. The new rates are reflected above. This is the first time since the inception of Community Education in 2003 in which we have had any increase to our rate for Extended Day programming. This increase will allow us to be more competitive in attracting and retaining great staff, award more financial aid and scholarships to families in need, and allow us to grow and bring the best possible programming to you and your child(ren).
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I register my child for a monthly schedule or a drop-in?
Registering your child for a monthly schedule means your child will attend the same day(s) of the week (ex. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) each week of a given month. This is listed as “AM Program” and “PM Program” during the registration process.
The "Drop-in" option is available as a convenience to families who do not need a set monthly schedule, but rather use EDP on an as-needed basis. This is listed as “Drop In Registration” during the registration process. Once registration is complete, parents/guardians will be able to access the “Drop-in Calendar” in their account to sign up for a specific day. In order to maintain staff-to-student ratios, drop-in for a specific day may not be available if the program has reached the maximum enrollment for that day.
Who should I notify that my child will be absent from EDP?
If your child will not be attending afternoon EDP on their scheduled day, please let the appropriate Site Coordinator know (via phone call or email), as well as your child’s classroom teacher and school office staff. No notification is required for morning EDP.
What does my child need to bring to EDP?
Please make sure your child has a snack, refillable water bottle, a lunch (on Early Release Days), and weather appropriate clothing.
Is EDP open on Early Release days?
Yes - On Early Release days, EDP is open from school dismissal until 6:00pm - with the exception of the Wednesday before Thanksgiving where we close at 3:00pm. If your child is scheduled to attend a day that falls on an Early Release, your child is all set. If your child is NOT scheduled to attend on a day that falls on an Early Release, you may sign them up as a drop-in, pending availability in the program.
