After School Care Policy

Dear Holy Cross Parents:

In order to provide a structured program for students between the hours of 2:30 and 5:30 p.m., Holy Cross School has an afterschool care program. The program provides supervised time for homework and recreational activities. The program is mandatory for students who are on campus and not participating in Holy Cross supervised extracurricular activities. Teachers will plan their after school activities so that parents can make arrangements to ensure that their sons are picked up, ride the shuttle or participate in after school care. A teacher will continue to supervise the pickup line until 3:00 p.m. each day at which time any students who have not been picked up will be escorted to the after school program. If prepayments are not made, the daily rate will be $10 per student payable upon pick up that day. The program will be supervised each day by UNO senior Ryan Kamlade, Holy Cross alum. In addition, a Holy Cross teacher will work with the program each day.

Daily schedule:

• Supervised homework/study time and snack—2:30-4:00 p.m.
• Optional continued study time/outside recreational activities—4:00 -5:30 p.m.
• The program will begin at 2:10 p.m. on early dismissal days—Tuesdays.

In response to requests from parents, there will be an option for students to attend daily.

• The daily rate is $8. per day until 5:30 p.m. when paid in advance.
• Parents can choose which days over a period of time that they would like for their sons to attend as long as prepayments are made in $40 increments.

The program is formally over at 5:30 p.m.

*Pickups after 5:30: If a child is not picked up by 5:30, there will be an additional fee of $10 for that day due when the student is picked up.

No after school program on 11:00 dismissal days.

Payment for the program :

• Payment should be made in increments of $40 in advance.
• Checks should be in a sealed envelope with the following information on the envelope: student’s name, the amount enclosed and After School Program.
• Payments may be mailed to or dropped off at Holy Cross to the attention of the After School Program.
• Checks should be made to Holy Cross School.

Registration will be available at orientation on August 9th and 10th. If you have questions, please call or email Patty Hrapmann at 504-942-1869 or phrapmann@holycrosstigers.com.
