St. Edward Extended Day Program
(S.E.E.D.)
Schoolyear 2009-2010(281) 353-4570 ext. 315
Direct Line: (281) 825-0850
St. Edward Catholic School will provide an Extended Day Program (S.E.E.D.) for use by parents whose working hours do not permit them to pick up their children at dismissal times. This is all in accordance with Diocesan policy and the Texas Catholic Conference Education Department.
There is one exception to this: pre-kindergarten children may be enrolled for the afternoon program. Special permission has been granted for this so parents do not need to make three trips to school on the days pre-kindergartners are enrolled.
Children are not to be enrolled for any other reason: errands, shopping, doctor's appointments, etc. or in anticipation of an emergency situation. When an emergency arises the parent should call the school to discuss the situation. Each case will be handled on an individual basis.
S.E.E.D. will begin with the first full day of School (August 13th) and will be in session on regularly scheduled school days only. Please note there will be no afternoon SEED program on December 18, the beginning of the Christmas Holiday, April 1, (Holy Thursday), and Field Day, May 14.
Morning sessions begin at 7:00 a.m.; students will be taken to their classrooms at 7:30 a.m.
The afternoon session of S.E.E.D. will begin at the noon dismissal for those in the morning pre-kindergarten programs until the afternoon dismissal at 3:15 p.m. or until parents pick-up children after work. Pre-kindergarten children will need to bring a lunch or may participate in the school milk or lunch program; they are also required to bring a large towel marked with the student's name for the nap/rest period. This session will include time for lunch, restroom break, nap/rest period, organized and free play, story time, etc.
At dismissal K-8 students will be signed in for S.E.E.D. All students arriving to S.E.E.D. after 3:15 p.m. but before 3:45 p.m. will be signed in at 3:15 p.m.
Kindergartners and other students will join the program at the 3:15 dismissal (2:00 on early dismissal Fridays). This time period will include a snack, restroom break, physical exercise, study time and/or quiet time, organized and free play, games, etc.
The Extended Day Program will close promptly at 6:00 p.m. There will be an additional charge for late pick-ups. There will be a $2.00 per minute charge assessed for each child not picked up by 6:00 p.m.
Parents who have children attending the morning session of S.E.E.D. will be required to "sign-in" each day that the child attends; parents who have children attending the afternoon session will be required to "sign-out" their children each day, giving time of pick-up and initialing. If no check-out time is recorded, we will use 6:00 p.m. for the sign-out time.
Since S.E.E.D. is actually an extension of the school day, students are required to adhere to all school regulations concerning behavior, respect for those in charge, each other, and property, good order, not leaving the grounds, wearing of uniforms, etc. Students not in compliance with the above rules will be subject to exclusion from the program.
The registration fee is $25.00 per family and should be attached to the S.E.E.D. Information Form. All students must be registered for S.E.E.D. to attend S.E.E.D.The charges are $3.00 per hour per child. Unregistered students, who attend S.E.E.D., because of dire emergency, will be charged $3.00 per hour.
Invoices will be sent out once a month and will be due upon receipt. The invoices will be sent home with the students in their Thursday envelopes. If payment is not received by the following Thursday, a late charge of $35 will be assessed, and students will be subject to exclusion from the program. The parent or guardian of the student is responsible for the payments. If someone other than the parent/guardian is paying, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to forward the invoice.
If you wish to register for S.E.E.D., please complete the S.E.E.D. Information Form and return it with the registration fee to the school office. Thank you.
