EXTENDED CARE POLICY CHANGE 
 

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 5, 2023

Nativity Catholic School is blessed to provide an extended care program that gives kids a safe and caring environment for before and after school care.  We’ve tried hard to keep our rates low but find it necessary to increase our rates effective January 5, 2023.  Our extended care rates have remained unchanged since 2015.  We surveyed surrounding schools to make sure our new rates are in line with what others are charging in the area.  Our new rates are in line with, and in some cases below, surrounding schools.

As of January 5, 2023, we are adjusting to a daily rate and will no longer offer pro-rated fees.

Any child who arrives at school before 7:45 or who is not picked up by 3:15 is required to go to Extended Care. Students will not be allowed to go to the classrooms before 8:00.

For billing purposes, all times will be noted according to the school clock.

Students who remain after school for scouts, sports, etc. must be under the direct supervision of their leader/coach or attend the extended care program.

Registration Procedures
Registration forms and a $50.00 registration fee per family must be turned in before a child can use the Nativity Extended Care Program. The registration form is located to the left on this page.

Morning Care
Morning care will begin with the first day of school, Monday, August 10th at 7:00 am. The Morning Care fee is $4.00 per student per day ($10.00 family maximum per day)
for any part of the 45 minutes the child is in care. Children attending morning care have the option of purchasing breakfast at school. Breakfast is $1.50 per day and includes milk. If your child opts for breakfast, the charge will be included on your lunch account.

After School Care
The afternoon program will be offered on school days beginning the first day of school from 3:15 to 6:00 pm. The after-school Extended Care program offers study time and a variety of activities for Nativity students enrolled in Prekindergarten (4-yr olds) through Eighth Grade.

Students will be signed in daily by a staff member. Once children are signed in, they may not return to their classrooms without permission. The charge for afternoon Extended Care$9.00 per day for one child, $11.00 per day for two children, $12.00 per day for three or more children. Late Fee:  $1.00 per minute for pick up after 6:00 p.m.

Children attending aftercare will have the option of purchasing an after-school snack with milk for $1.00. The cost for the snack will be charged to the student’s lunch account. The snack program in aftercare is not covered by the State so the free/reduced status will not apply. You may send a snack with your child.

Parents must make arrangements for a backup person to pick up their child in the event of an emergency. That person’s name must be listed on the registration form. At no time can a staff member transport your child. You are asked to come into the school and sign out your child. Only a parent or a person previously authorized by the parent may sign out a child.

Billing Procedures
A one-time registration fee of $50.00 applies to new registrations as of January 5^th.
Families are billed on a weekly basis and charges are expected to be paid weekly or in advance.  Failure to pay outstanding balances will result in students not being permitted to attend extended care the following week.  As of December 16, 2022, families can no longer accrue an extended care balance.
