City of Winters After School Program Student Absence and Early Release Policy
City of Winters After School Program has been made available to your child through the State of California After School Education and Safety (ASES) as well as 21 Century Learning Centers program funding and ELOP funding. As a funding requirement, students are expected to attend the program every day they attend school and remain for a minimum of 3 hours each day. There are 2 pickup times: 4:00pm and 5:30pm-6:00pm. You must notify staff before 1:00pm that day if your child will be leaving at the 4:00pm pickup. TK and Kinder students are allowed to leave at 4:00pm daily or 2:30-3pm with a parallel program. All other students must have one of the excused reasons listed below to be picked up at 4:00pm.
If the Winters Joint Unified School District is operating as 100% distance learning or hybrid learning, your student is required to stay at the program for its entirety. In this case specific pick-up times will be arranged for the program and will include a 5pm pick up time.
We understand that situations do occur that cause students to need to leave early or miss a day altogether. The bulleted items contain examples of excusable reasons for signing out of the program early or missing the program.
Please speak to your child’s Site Coordinator regarding any excuse that is not listed.
- Medical Appointments
- Family Emergency
- Illness
- Religious
- Suspension from school
- Parallel Program such as school sponsored homework club, Girls Scouts, Boy Scouts, sports league, band, choir, martial arts, etc. (see early release policy in registration packet)
Excessive early release is a serious threat to program funding. For this reason, all early dismissals, absences and parallel programs need to be documented and will require proof of activity from parent/guardian in the form of parallel program/activity schedule, doctor’s note, or letter from parent/tutor/coach.
Late arrival to the program is only acceptable if the student is on campus with a school staff member for purposes of their regular school day. Ex- reading intervention, math intervention, etc.
Repeated late pick-ups, pattern of poor attendance, failure to meet the attendance requirements or failure to pay late pick up fee can result in the removal of your child from the program.
