Welcome to the Sharon Public Schools'
Kindergarten After-School Care Program!
Please read carefully all sections of the Sharon Public Schools, After-School
Care Program application, for the 2008-2009 school year. Operating from school
dismissal until 6:00 PM, including Early Dismissal Days, this program will
encourage the development of social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and recreational
skills. After-Care will be provided during the 178-day school calendar year,
with the exception of "no-school" days.
The concept of our After-School Care Program allows us to provide
a warm, creative, and nurturing environment for those students whose parents'
schedules require them to seek after-school attention. Our program is designed
to meet the needs of young people, offering various activities geared to enrich
personal interests. The goal is to promote enriching, social, emotional and
physical growth through caring and responsive staff interaction.
The procedure handbook has been created
to provide general information that will be helpful to you and your child,
as well as to inform you of the procedures and regulations for the program.
If you have any questions concerning the Kindergarten After-School Care Program,
please contact me at the above telephone number between the hours of 9:00
AM - 4:30 PM.
