Mission: Our SSCS After-School Program will provide homework help and opportunities for enrichment for SSCS students.
When: Monday – Friday from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. at SSCS (when SSCS is in session – this will not include days that there is no school)
Where: At St. Stephen Catholic School in room #2 (aka. 5th grade homeroom)
Who: Mrs. Carter, other SSCS teachers and staff members. Possibly outside instructors for enrichments.
How: Please complete the attached form to enroll your child in our afterschool program or pick up an SSCS – ASP form in the office.
Homework Help from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. offered at no charge to any SSCS student Monday – Thursday. (Fridays will play time from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. at $7.00 per hour. Thus, $14.00 per child if your child stays for two hours.)
Enrichment from 4:30-5:30 p.m. offered by a variety of adults (all Called to Protect trained and background checked). Fees may vary based on provider; enrichment providers will be responsible to collect their own fees. Enrichment providers, who are not already part of the SSCS staff, will be asked to carry their own insurance and to pay a 10% building usage fee. (Contact Mrs. Oliver if you or someone you know is interested in offering enrichment classes for more details.)
SSCS-ASP will provide enrichment learning games and activities the charge will be $7.00/hr. that will be billed through SSCS. These activities include: Math Games – depending upon ages – Make 10, Doubles, Dominos (Train, Fractions, Adding, Subtracting, 101, Farkle, Spoons, Make 7, Battleship)
Robots – this will only work up to 10 students
Engineering with Planks (small wooden planks)
Late Pick/Up fees of $1 per minute will apply. Paid in cash to the teacher in the room.
Billing/Collections – We will run the billing through SSCS. Families who get behind in afterschool payments will not be able to attend after-school until they get their payments caught up.
Fridays – Generally, there is no homework on Fridays. There will be play time for the 2 hours including: movies in the winter months – outside when weather permits. We will charge for both hours on Fridays.
4-H at SSCS is on Fridays.
In the past, we have offered a Middle School Homework Help from 3:30-4:30. Just as a reminder, this is work time, not a social time for middle school students, and we need to have at least 4 middle school students present for them to have their own teacher/room. This will also be contingent on the availability of teachers. If fewer than 4 students are there, then they will be included with the general SSCS group.
3:15 -3:30 Procedure – The After-School students will check into the 5th grade homeroom (a.k.a. Rm #2) at 3:15pm along with the Carbondale Bus Riders. All students left after 3:30pm are automatically checked into the Afterschool Room. They will do homework until picked up. If left beyond 4:30pm, they are charged $7 per hour – charges are by the hour.
The students waiting for tutoring will also be checked into the After-School Room until the tutor picks them up.
Kindergarten students will go to preschool from 3:30 – 4:30 if space is available, if preschool doesn’t have space the kinders will stay with the other ASP kiddos.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
Blessings,
The SSCS Crew
