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 Holy Cross facutly member Ray Charboneau. An additional 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.

• 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.

*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.
