Holidays & Professional Days - We will have a sign up sheet for those needing care on days when there is no school.

Parents are responsible for providing lunches for their children, either pack one from home or purchase one through food services. Kindergarten students will be able to purchase school lunches.
School lunches are not available on half days.  Snacks are provided after school.

PICK-UP/ DROP-OFF
All parents must escort their child into the student care room in the morning and sign them in. Only people authorized on the registration form may pick-up a child unless permission is given in writing. Permission by phone will be authorized on an emergency basis only.  Parents may have access to their own child any time during business hours. We are required by the State of Washington to have anyone who picks up a child sign them out using their full legal name and the time they were picked up. Anyone who does not write down a check out time, will be signed out at 6pm. ILLNESS
If your child becomes ill while in our care, you will be expected to pick them up immediately. A child is considered ill when: they have a temperature of 100.4 or above, have vomited, have an unexplained rash, or have red or mattery eyes.

MEDICATION
If your child needs medication (over the counter or prescription), you need a form signed by both you and your child's physician before it can be administered. Forms are available in the office.

MEDICAL EMERGENCIES

 Kenroy Student Care staff is trained in first aid and CPR and will take appropriate steps to care for your child's minor injuries such as minor cuts, scrapes and bruises. Staff will notify parents of the incident and injury. If a life-threatening emergency should occur, staff will provide first aide and CPR as needed, call 911 and contract parents as soon as possible. If parents cannot be reached, the staff will contact the second person on the child's registration list and continue down that list until someone is contacted.

STANDARD FEES
There is a minimum charge of one hour before school and one hour after school. Rates are as follows: $2.50 per hour for one child and $2.00 per hour for each additional child in the same family. Any time over one hour will be rounded up to the next half hour for billing purposes. Kindergarten students pay for contracted days and hours whether they are present or not. Contracted days and hours are specified by the parents. There is no credit given for time not used. If your student arrives late due to an after school activity such as run club, science club, extended day, etc., you will be charged from the time school is dismissed until the time of pick-up. Monthly statement can be picked up by the 5th of each month and are due by the 10th. Checks are made payable to Eastmont School District . Student care services will be suspended and a $5 re-billing fee will be added to all accounts not paid by the due date. Unpaid accounts will be turned over to collection after 60 days and service is permanently suspended.

LATE FEE
A late fee of $1 per minute per child will be assessed after 6pm. Chronic lateness will result in termination of services.   FIELD TRIPS
Parents are always notified of field trips through permission slips, which are required before any child can be taken off school grounds. We use district buses and drivers.
