The Before and After School Care (BASC) program is for students who attend St. Joan of Arc Catholic School, enrolled in kindergarten up through age 12.
The program is not open on religious, national, or school holidays. The program
begins on the first day of school and ends on the last day of school for the year. A summer
program has been established that will begin after the school year ends.
Hours of Operation
The Before School Care Program operates from 7:00-8:00 AM. Breakfast is not served,
but if your child would like to bring something manageable to eat, they are welcome to do
so. This breakfast food must be consumed before 8:00 AM.
You will drop your child off at the Parish Activity Center (PAC) doors, between the school
and the church.
If there is a one hour or two hour late start to school, (weather related or otherwise) the
before school care program will open according to the delayed start time. The program will
also NOT be open if school is closed due to inclement weather or other unforeseen
circumstances.
The After School Care Program will begin as soon as the school day ends. The programs
close promptly at 5:30. If your child is not picked up by 5:30, you will be charged an
additional fee of $15/15 minutes.
Pick-up for After School Care is at the Parish Activity Center (PAC), which are the doors
located between the school and the church. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member
will let you in. Please check the playground area first to see if we are outside enjoying some
fresh air!
If the school closes early due to inclement weather, your child must be picked up from the
After School Care and/or After School Club programs within one hour of the school closing.
On scheduled early release days, the after school care program will begin when school ends.
Fees and Payments
A $25 registration fee per family is required.
The fees for the before and after school care programs is as follows:
Before School Care: $5 per morning (for drop off anytime at or after 7 AM and before 8 AM)
After School Care: $5 per hour – $5 for the first hour, then $2.50 every 30 minutes thereafter.
Note: There will be a $15 per 15 minute late charge if your child is picked up after 5:30pm.
We will be using the Procare app for attendance tracking and billing.. Parents will be
asked to scan the QR code or use their 4 digit code given through the app to sign your
child out each day. You will only be charged for the time and days your child attends the
program.
Emergencies/Safety
Parents should never take their child without notifying a staff member. Parents should not
send anyone else to pick up their child if they have not notified the After School Care staff of
a change in their child’s ride home. The school office can be contacted by calling (563)
359-3466 before 4:00 pm. If you need to contact the After School Staff after 4:00pm call the
SJALL Center at (563) 359-4037 or call the SJA Kitchen phone at (563) 359-3466 ext.185.
Expectations for Behavior
As members of a caring, Christian community, children will be expected to respect the staff,
each other, and the materials and environment provided. All school policies will be
enforced at Before and After school care.
If behavior expectations are not followed, the staff will meet with the child’s parents to alert
the parents of the problem. During this meeting, possible methods of correcting the
behavior will be discussed, and the parents will be notified that before and after school care
services will be discontinued if the behavior is not corrected.
Medications and Accidents
In cases of minor nature, First Aid will be administered on the premises. Medication will
not be administered unless both a written statement from the physician detailing method,
amount, and time AND a written statement from the parent authorizing the staff to assist a
child in taking the medication are on file. In case of emergency, the staff will refer to the
emergency forms on file to reach a contact person.
Please feel free to contact [email protected] with any questions or concerns
you may have. We look forward to an awesome year with your child!
