After School - Charlotte Country Day

After School at Charlotte Country Day School

As part of our BucsBeyond programming, After School serves students JK–8 as an extension of the day. Balanced between academic support and extracurricular activities, our After School provides a low-stress place for our students where they can relax, breathe, have fun, be themselves, and play with friends. Intentionally structured within our Extended Day Program and augmented through enrichment classes, After School extends the classroom day in a variety of ways including, athletics, arts, language, STEM, and more.

Extended Day

Our Extended Day Program offers students JK–8 enhanced student growth through learning, play, and rest. Your child's time at Extended Day includes outdoor playground time, indoor play, homework/reading time, and snack. We also offer special seasonal art projects and other activities to further enhance your child's academic and personal growth.

Students can attend the Extended Day program on an annual contract or drop-in basis.

Guidelines & Policies

To ensure safe student/teacher ratios, we are not able to switch days around during a particular week. Parents must call our office and add days either on a permanent or drop-in basis from week to week.
If your child is enrolled in an After School Enrichment Program, you will not be charged for attending Extended Day during that time frame. Refunds in this case are made at an hourly rate of $10 based on contract fees. Please notify the Extended Day Office if your child is enrolled in an enrichment class to receive a one-time credit.
Children are not permitted to attend Extended Day once they've left campus after the regular school day has ended.
It is our responsibility to know where each Extended Day child is on any given day at any given time. If your child will not be attending the program for any reason, please notify the office at (704) 943-4964 or e-mail elise.ernette@charlottecountryday.org.
Sign Out—To ensure safety and security, parents must sign out before taking a child from Extended Day. Only parents and those individuals on an authorized list may pick-up your child (a photo ID may be required before your child is released).
Field Trips—parents are notified ahead of time of all field trips. We require a parent’s signature on a field trip permission form before a child is allowed to attend. Licensed bus drivers provide transportation, and safety guidelines are strictly enforced. Field trips are usually taken on days that the All-Day program is offered (when classes are not in session).
Attendance to the All-Day programs are billed as a separate charge and for contracted students only.
Review the Extended Day Program Agreement.

Online registration for all classes takes place starting at the beginning of each semester and early November for winter classes. Registration is announced on BucsNet and in BucsNOW.
Registration is on a first come first served basis.
Registration Waiting List: Each program has a minimum and maximum number of students and we follow a 12:1 student to teacher/coach ratio (ie, once more than 12 students are enrolled, another teacher may be added.) After the maximum enrollment is reached, additional registrants will be put on a waiting list. If someone withdraws prior to the class beginning, the first name on the wait list will automatically be selected and offered a spot to attend the program.

Payment

Classes are paid in full at time of registration and registrants receive an e-mail confirming program participation. If you do not receive an e-mail, please contact the After School Enrichment Office for assistance.
Refunds/Withdrawal: If you need to withdraw your child from a class, do so prior to the first day of class in order to receive a refund. Refunds for withdrawal are not granted after the first day of class.
Cancellations: If a class does not meet the minimum number of required students, that class may be cancelled. Parents who have registered their students or themselves for these classes will be notified of its cancellation and full refunds will be provided. Cancellation of a class is at the discretion of Country Day, the contracting company, and the teacher.

Guidelines & Policies

Students are escorted to and from their class. No student will be left alone either going to or returning from an enrichment class.
Please pick up your children on time from their respective classes.
Students not picked up on time will be taken to Extended Day for parent pick up. The hourly rate will be charged.
Notify the After School Enrichment Office and regular classroom teacher about all carpool changes, as appropriate.
If students are absent from school or are not in school at class dismissal, they may not participate in an After School Enrichment class or the Extended Day program that day.
Students must adhere to the same rules and regulations of the regular school day.

The After School Enrichment Office will:

Provide registration information to all participants and ensure programs are available for registration at the appropriate time.
Inform parents, teachers, and students of the registration periods for the programs, including detailed class information.
Provide safe and honorable companies and teachers for all of the offered classes.
