AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITY PROGRAM

BEGINNING Wednesday February 22^nd

It is time to register for the After School Activity Program! The deadline for signing up is February 13^th .

Our After School Activity Program offers a cross-section of experiences for your child to learn new skills and to have time to socialize and develop a teamwork ethic with other students in a supportive environment.

Each activity presents age appropriate opportunities for children to explore personal interests. As such, if after a week or two, your child determines that he or she is not really interested in a particular activity, we are happy to arrange for a different opportunity. Our goal is that your child is stimulated and engaged in whichever activity is chosen.

Each activity begins at 3:30 and ends at 4:45 at which time the children will be in the Auditorium Lobby for you to pick up.

The program is non-profit and self-contained. All money collected goes to paying for teacher/coach fees, snacks, special equipment, etc.

The activities will cost 400 pesos for each day for the semester

PAYMENTS PROCEDURES: after confirmation VIA E-MAIL

CASH: only at any Branch of Banco Supervielle. Just provide your family # and family name. The bank will issue the official receipt.

CHECK : issued to Asociacion escuelas Lincoln:

Check In PESOS: at School.

Check In DOLLARS at School. NO DOLLAR BILLS

You will receive a confirmation of your child’s registration via e-mail.

Each activity has a minimum of five students. Some activities also have a maximum number of participants. Please read the description of each activity carefully to determine appropriate grade level participation and any special requirements. Each description will also include the learning goals of the activity so you and your child can discuss the goals and how they are progressing.

While we know our program is designed to meet the needs of our students, we have found that we need to include two requests so that the program continues to function smoothly.

In the event that behavior problems develop, the teacher, coach, or coordinator will inform you of the questionable behavior and ask that you help your child resolve the issue. If the behavior problem continues to interfere with our group objectives, your child will no longer be able to participate in the activity for the current semester.
The activities end at 4:45. For the safety of your child and to comply with the requirement that all ES children be supervised when they are on campus, we need you to pick your child up at that time. If you are unable to consistently collect your child in a timely manner and we cannot resolve the issue, the school reserves the right remove your child from the activity.
