After School
Program
Welcome to
Saint Mary School’s TLCare! This
program offers before and after
school care to St. Mary School
students on days that the school
is in session (including
scheduled early release days).
TLCare is focused upon providing
a loving and positive
environment which allows for the
children’s physical, emotional
and spiritual needs to be met. |
After
Schedule of Activities
(available for all ages)
After School (2:30pm-6:00pm)
In the
afternoon hours, TLCare provides
children with a safe and healthy
environment in which they may pursue
play, studies or other pursuits.
Between 2:45
and 3:00pm, your child is provided with
an afternoon snack and drink. If the
snack offered is not something the child
wants, he/she has the option to eat a
snack brought from home.
Following snack
time, TLCare provides two individually
staffed locations to accommodate both a
proper study environment for those
children who need to work on their
homework, as well as a proper recreation
area for those children who do not need
to work on homework. When homework is
completed, the child may immediately
switch to recreation.

General Procedures
Hours of
Operation: TLCare is open 7:00am
– 6:00pm on days that the school is in
session, including scheduled early
release days. TLCare is not open on
in-service days, holidays, vacation days
or the summer. In addition, TLCare does
not operate when the school day is
cancelled or shortened due to severe
weather (snow, ice, excessive heat,
etc.) or power outages.
Picking
your child up: When you are
picking up your child, he/she will
either be in the gym, TLCare room
(located in the far right corner of the
gym) or in the Library (downstairs) if
during Study Hall. When the gym is in
use for other activities, basketball,
etc., the children will be moved to the
third grade classroom. The after school
program closes at 6:00pm sharp. You will
be charged $5.00 for every 5 minute
increment you are late.
Behavior
Policies: TLCare follows the
same rules and policies outlined in the
School’s Discipline Policy. Any failure
to follow will result in a “time-out”
for your child (time away from the
group, thinking about actions occurred).
Time-outs usually last 1 minute per year
of a child’s age, although staff may
slightly increase the minutes per
his/her judgment. There will be a loss
of privileges if we see a reoccurring
problem. A continual disregard for the
Discipline Policy (I.e., if a child
receives three written warnings) will
result in removal of the child from the
program.
Toys from
Home: Children are allowed to
bring in toys and games from home that
can be shared. However, they are not
allowed to take these toys out during
school hours. TLCare or other children
are not responsible for lost or broken
items.
Lunch:
Pre-K children are to bring a
lunch every day they attend TLCare. The
Hot Lunch program is also available to
TLCare children, but they must place
their lunch orders in advance based on
the lunch program guidelines.
Illness:
If your child is sick/not feeling well
(coughs, colds, fever, etc), please keep
him/her home. Germs spread rapidly among
children and as a consideration to each
other, please keep him/her home.
