To accommodate our school families, St. Mary School offers our students an Extended Day program in both the morning and after school. Doors open at 7:00 a.m., and we have personnel on hand to watch your children and ease them into their day. Any student entering the school before their classroom is open must report to Extended Day. Students in grades 7 and 8 are dismissed from Extended Day to the classroom at 7:50 a.m. Students in grades K-6 are dismissed from Extended Day to the classroom at 8:45 a.m. Our program resumes at 3:30 p.m. and closes at 5:30 p.m. PLEASE NOTE: Extended Day hours are subject to change based on need and attendance. Definite hours will be announced at orientation.
In the event of a 2-hour delay, morning Extended Day will not open until 10:00 a.m. I cannot ask the staff to be on the roads before they travel safely.
To ensure your child's safety, we must insist that our Extended Day staff signs in each child at the correct time and that you sign your child out when leaving Extended Day, no matter how short the stay. Latchkey personnel may NOT sign your child out when leaving Extended Day. Any child not signed out will be charged until 5:30 p.m.
We ask that every family complete an Extended Day information form. Even if you do not intend to use Extended Day regularly, the information will be available in the event of an occurrence that might necessitate placing your child in Extended Day. Please be sure that you supply all information requested on the Extended Day information form. Be sure to supply the names and phone numbers of any person who may be picking up your child from Extended Day. If you need someone to pick up your child from Extended Day who is not on your information sheet, this request MUST be in writing, and the person will be required to show a photo I.D. This is a MUST, as the State of Ohio requires it.
Our fee for Extended Day services is $2.50 per hour per child with a minimum charge of one dollar. The billing is posted outside the school office on the bulletin board on the afternoon of the first school day of each week. You are responsible for checking the billing - statements or reminders are not sent. The amount due (no matter how small) will be paid monthly. Siblings of junior high students will not be charged for morning Extended Day after 7:50 a.m.
Extended Day closes promptly at 5:30 p.m. Any late pickups will be assessed a $1.00 late fee for each minute. Your cooperation in following these guidelines is crucial for the program to exist!
Morning Extended Day Employee: Mrs. Catanzarite
After school Extended Day Employee: Mr. Metcalf
