Welcome to the After School Care Program (ASC) at the School of Saint Mary!  Please contact us at [email protected] for more information.

ASC Hours

3:00-5:30

General Information

● No cell phone use during ASC unless the child asks for permission to call a parent or guardian.
● Electronics such as iPads or laptops are allowed only to assist the child in completing homework assignments. Enrichment or outdoor activity time will be no electronic zones.
● Please ensure your child has proper clothing for outdoor play such as jackets or sweaters during cold weather or proper shorts for girls for warmer weather in the case they want to take off their jumper.
● Please ensure that all belongings are marked with your child’s name. Any item left behind will be taken to the school lost and found.
● If your child has an on-campus activity after school, please notify ASC in advance via email or signed physical note of their schedule so we are aware where they need to be or if they will be arriving at a later time to ASC.
● Please give a 24 hour notice for occasional “drop in” students so we can properly plan for enrichment activities. Drop-ins MUST have all pertinent information on file before attending ASC. Forms are available from ASC or the school office. There is no fee to have these forms on file.
● For the safety of your child, please inform ASC in writing of any changes in persons authorized to pick them up. We will not release your child to anyone without written permission. A grade school sibling may not sign students out. No exceptions.

Safety Guidelines

● The ASC Program is designed to provide a safe environment for your child after school, therefore students will not be allowed to leave to any off campus activities while under the care of ASC.
● If a child is attending an on campus activity such as chess club, soccer or musical lesson, the child will need to be checked out and/or into ASC by the coach or sponsor. ASC is not responsible for getting them to or from the activity.
● Staffing will be a 10:1 student to staff ratio with the exception of early dismissal days.
