Our Before and After Care programs offer students a balanced mix of recreation, socialization, structured activities, and quiet time for completing homework. Before and After Care time is not to be considered a tutoring time for students. Optional homework time will take place after students are checked in, snacks have been distributed and tables are cleaned up to prevent any damage to schoolwork or books.
We aim to provide a safe and well-supervised environment for our school children while parents/guardians are at work. The service will be offered only on scheduled school days and only for students enrolled in Immaculate Conception School. There will be no Before or After Care on snow days or when school is not in session. There will be no After Care on early dismissal days or on the last day of school before summer break.

REGISTRATION
There is no formal registration process for Before or After Care. All IC students are considered registered for the Before Care/After Care programs and will be billed through FACT Financial when they use the programs.
UNPLANNED EARLY DISMISSAL
If school is dismissed early because of an emergency or inclement weather, an adult will remain with the students until you make arrangements for pickup. They must be picked up within one hour of dismissal. Any student staying longer will be charged a $10.00 late fee.
MEDICATION
No medication will be dispensed during Before and After Care. If your student has a medical condition that requires special attention, please advise the supervisor.
ILLNESS OR INJURY
If a student is injured during the Before Care or After Care program, the adult supervisor will administer first aid and attempt to contact the student’s parent/guardian. The supervisor will also attempt to contact any of the student’s Emergency Contacts listed in the FACTS program, if a parent/guardian is not able to be reached. If a parent/guardian or Emergency Contact cannot be reached, the supervisor will do any or all of the following:
a. Contact your physician or medical center for assistance.
b. Call an ambulance.
c. Have the child taken to the emergency room.
SNACKS
During After Care, students will be provided with a snack, similar to a bag of chips, cookies, pretzels.
SIGN IN AND OUT
Parents/Guardians or approved pick-up contacts must sign the student in for the Before Care program or out for the After Care program using the FACTS program on the provided iPad. This is both necessary for security purposes and in order to assess the correct amount to charge for the day. A student may not sign themselves in or out. A student can only be released to a parent/guardian or approved pick-up contacts listed in the FACTS program. If a parent/guardian needs to update their Emergency Contact/Transportation Contacts, they can do so via FACTS Family Portal -> Web Forms.
