and fit; tank tops are not
acceptable. Boys may wear jeans,

shoes and socks, even with sandals,

until 6:00 p.m. Monday through
Friday during school days and 6:45
a.m. until 6:00 p.m. during the
summer and school holidays. Parents
who fail to pick up their children
by closing time are charged $5.00
per quarter hour or portion thereof,
so that we may compensate the worker
overtime for staying late.

year round, closing only on New
Year's Eve, New Year's Day, MLK
Birthday, President's Day, Good
Friday, Memorial Day, July 4, Open
House, Labor Day, annual Teachers'
Convention, Thanksgiving

Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.
Variations from this schedule are
announced well in advance in the
monthly calendar published on this
website. Weather closings are
also published on the website's
homepage and announced over WIBZ‑FM (81.9), WMHK‑FM
(89.7), TV Channel 10, and
www.wistv.com.
Charges
‑ Charges are calculated by
multiplying hours of care provided
by a flat hourly rate ($2.70 for
2010-11 -
with a $75 maximum cap per week) and are
computed on a quarter-hour basis.
Some parents prefer to pay weekly; a
total of weekly charges is available
the following Tuesday. Account
statements are posted online weekly for
parents to review, or they may call
the office for the amounts. If the account
becomes 30 days in arrears, use of
Day Care service is forfeited.
Dress ‑
On school days the dress code
outlined in this Parent‑Student
Guide applies. Dress for summer Day
Care is noted above.
Lunches
‑ Children may bring money for hot
sandwiches, snacks, and drinks; or
they may bring their own lunches.
Preschool and kindergarten students
need to bring a snack for the
morning; if they stay past 12:00,
they need to have lunch. Students
who stay past 3:30 need an afternoon
snack.
