If school starts 1 or 2 hours late due to bad weather, the SACC program wants its parents to know that we DO NOT cover this. We are an after school program only.
Our program will be open on many school holidays, but will definitely be closed on the following holidays:
- NEW YEAR’S EVE LABOR DAY
- NEW YEAR’S DAY THANKSGIVING DAY
- GOOD FRIDAY DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING
- MEMORIAL DAY CHRISTMAS EVE
- JULY 4TH CHRISTMAS DAY
- DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS * (*Due to low numbers)
IF USING THE SUMMER PROGRAM DON’T FORGET THIS DAY: *One (1) day before the official start of our summer program (in order to make the transition from aftercare to summer care and have staff development training for summer staff)
Children must register for scheduled holidays. Sign-up sheets will be distributed at each school site approximately two weeks before the upcoming holiday or teacher in-service day. The sheet must be completed and returned to your school site director. We must have at least ten (10) students needing service to justify opening. SACC will notify parents if we have less than ten (10) and the service will not be provided.
VERY IMPORTANT:
In order to sign up for any full days, breaks, holidays, or the summer program, your account/balance must be current. You will not be able to sign up for any of these if you are behind on your account.
Failure to sign up by the registration deadline can mean: (1) Late registration fee, if room is available, (2) Services denied.
If children are dismissed early during a regular school day because of bad weather, the program will be held at your regular school site except for Winfree Bryant. Those students will be bused to Walter J. Baird. Parents of Winfree Bryant children must remember to pick up at that location.
If school dismisses before lunch can be served, and your child does not have a lunch, SACC will provide one.
If the school system closes for widespread illness (flu) even the SACC program will be closed.
If school dismisses before 12:00 a.m., parents whose children attend SACC on this day will be charged a full day charge. Parents must realize that any hours above the normal four hours covered daily can constitute full day fees for those in attendance. In the event that school dismisses only one hour early, it has been the policy of the Program Director that NO additional charges will be added.
Location of program for holidays, full days, summer, etc., may be changed from year to year. If numbers allot it, SACC will try to offer full day service at your child’s school, but this will be on a case-by-case basis. It will be the parent’s responsibility to read any and all notices posted pertaining to location information.
*New, New, New…
On SNOW DAYS, SACC will operate at Castle Heights for grades Pre-k – 8th. Parents are asked on snow days to use caution. The Castle Heights SACC location can be found on the right side of the school. If needed, parents are encouraged to ask their school for directions before bad weather arrives.
*This is a significant change from previous snow days where SACC would operate at Coles Ferry. Please do not forget this new location
