Propel Afterschool

---

Propel’s award-winning Afterschool Program, facilitated by Propel staff, allows students to have continuity from the school day.  We utilize an ever-growing partner network to provide students with academic and enrichment opportunities during the extended day.

“The benefits of afterschool programs are clear. They support working families by ensuring that children are safe and productive when the school day ends. Quality afterschool programs make communities stronger by involving students, parents, business leaders and volunteers. Propel is proud to be an integral part of the afterschool lives of our students.”

–Rosemary Anderson, Director of Propel Afterschool Programs

At no cost to families, Propel’s Afterschool Program aims to improve students’ academic achievement, encourage healthy lifelong skills, provide resources and build an ongoing platform for students and families.

Afterschool meets Monday through Thursday from 3:00pm-4:30pm, with a dismissal from 4:30pm-4:40pm.

Propel Afterschool is canceled when schools are closed for vacation, parents conferences, half days, in-service and any day when students are not in the building.

Propel Afterschool Attendance/Pickup PolicyEarly Dismissal: Because of these valuable learning opportunities, we are asking that students participate in afterschool for the duration of our programs. This will allow your student to receive the full benefit of our programming. The coordinator is responsible for all of the activities at the site and may not be readily available to dismiss a student without adequate notice. Please be considerate of their main responsibility-the safety of all afterschool children. Picking up students early impacts everyone’s safety and experience in afterschool. After three early dismissals that slot may be given to another student for the remainder of the year.

Being picked up late: Students are expected to be picked up at their designated afterschool dismissal time. Please see your site calendar for the time. If you are late there will be a charge per every 15 minutes. The following late fees will apply: $10 for the first 15 minutes you are late, $5 more for each 15 minutes after. After three late pickups your child may be removed from the program for the remainder of the year.

***Sometimes there are emergency circumstances which we will honor. For those emergency circumstances, please call the site coordinator as soon as possible.
