The St. Raphael Before School program provides students with a safe, supervised place to stay prior to the school day. Doors open at 7:00A.M. The cost is $4.00 for the hour.
The St. Raphael After School Enrichment Program (ASEP) is an after school child care and enrichment program for St. Raphael students in grades Pre-K to 8th. This begins its eleventh year of operation.
PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY AND GOALS
Grounded in the belief that a quality after school program is more than babysitting , we have designed a program in which children have the opportunity to acquire new skills and broaden their education in a safe, comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. They may engage in indoor and outdoor physical games, receive homework assistance, small group or individual tutoring, do math, science and art activities, play educational computer games and more while developing healthy social relationships with peers.
HOURS OF OPERATION
The ASEP is open from dismissal (2:30pm) to 6:00pm. On those scheduled half days, the ASEP is open from dismissal (11:30am or 12:30pm) until 6:00pm. The program does not operate on school holidays or snow days.
The ASEP is located in the large classroom behind the multipurpose room. Students also have access to the multipurpose room, the schoolyard and the gym. At times the library may be used. Ms. Meghan Mancuso administers the program.
REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
The registration period begins with the new school year. A $10.00 non-refundable fee is required with the registration form. One form must be completed for each child and a check enclosed.
