Dear Parent / Guardian:
Over the years, St. Helen's has been blessed to have a great After School Program. Due to the increasing need for excellent before and after school care for our children, St. Helen's has made significant enhancements to our existing program building on the foundation of years past. We are making changes particularly in the areas of hours, staff supervision, behavior guidelines and optional enrichment activities. We utilitzed parent input in coming up with these changes.

More specifically we are in the process of doing the following things:

1. The Before School Program will be open at 7:00 am Monday through Friday. After School hours are until 6:00 pm.

2. There will be a Homework Room (Located in the Art Room) where students will work on homework with supervision.

3. Additional paid and unpaid staff is recruited to better address the student to staff ratio and supervision issues. This includes the Parent Co-Op mentioned below.

4. Behavior guidelines and an entrance agreement should be reviewed and signed by both the parent and student. This will enhance consistancy in supervision.

5. We are always planning for afternoon Enrichment Classes that are made available to ASP students. These will be optional and paid for by parents in addition to regular ASP fees, on an interest basis. These classes are announced in advance and hopefully begin in early October.

6. We have a Parent Co-Op program that gives parents the opportunity to voluntarily participate in the After School Program. You or another family member may earn credits towards the tuition reduction program by volunteering 40 hours at St. Helen's School. These hours do not all have to be in the After School Program.

7. We have convenient payment options. The main objective in creating this plan is to make the bookkeeping easier for both you and the program and to keep your cost down.

The 3 and 5 day packages are strictly for convenience and represent a significant savings, up to 10% or nearly a free month's worth of service.

These packages that have been created may be billed to you through FACTS or you may pay for service on the first of each month by cash or check.
