SNACKS

Student will have a snack every day. If your child decides to bring his/her own snacks, this is fine. We encourage this if they don’t enjoy a variety of snacks or have food allergies.

We are also always needing snack donations. So, if you would like to help with this that would be greatly appreciated.

SCHOOL CLOSING  EARLY / SNOW DAY –

This program will be closed on days the school closes due to weather.  You will have to arrange with the schools on a different afternoon plan. Sorry for the inconvenience.

We will operate off the school calendar. So, if school is closed FCC Afterschool Program will also be closed.

 Late Pick Up Policy – All students should be picked up by 5:30 pm. Parents, who are late due to unforeseen circumstances (please call), will be issued a verbal warning. To avoid situations like these, we encourage parents to have a backup plan that would allow their child/children (with prior approval) to go home with a neighboring parent or a relative listed as authorized to pick up your child from the facility.

 

The following procedure will be used for parents who violate the pick-up policy.

 

    First Offense – Verbal warning

    Second Offense – After 5:30 p.m., a late charge will be assessed at the rate of $10.00 for each 10-minute interval or fraction thereof.

    Third Offense- Grounds for one-week suspension from program.

Late charges are due no later than the end of the week in which the infraction occurs. Non-payment of late charges may result in suspension of the child/children from the program. We ask parents to be respectful and courteous regarding this policy. 

If a child is left and we have not heard from a parent, or if a parent cannot be reached and no one is available to pick up your child, The Child Protective Service office will be asked to come and transport that child to a safe location.

If your child is going to be absent from FCC afterschool for the day signed up for, please call (270) 586-1819 or bring a note the day before.  You may also email  fccafterschoolprogram@gmail.com.
