AFTER-SCHOOL CHILD CARE PROGRAM |
We are pleased to tell you that Falk's After School Program continues to grow and be a
success.The following points of information will be useful for those parents who plan to use the
service. There are many circumstances that affect the type of activities we can run in a day.
We try to vary the games and types of activities that we organize in order to satisfy everyone.
For the most part, children are separated by grade level for organization
reasons and safety. Arrangements can always be made so that children can work on their homework,
even if we do not have a designated homework room for that day.
If you need to reach the After School staff during hours of operation (2:30-6:00), please use
extension 412-624-6823.
An alternative way of reaching us is to call the school main phone line which is staffed until
4:00pm at 412-624-8020. If you have any questions about our program or special
activities, please feel free to call the After School Office 412-624-8274.

After School Sign-Out
It is important to remember to sign your child(ren) out at pick up time!! This is essential because it helps us keep track of your child(ren) and allows us to have the correct information when calculating your bill. Unfortunately, if you do not sign out, we will have to charge you until 6:00pm.
It is imperative that we have the name of everyone who is
permitted to pick your child(ren) up at After School. If your
child is to be released to someone whose name does not appear
on our list, please send a signed, dated note giving permission
for that person to be responsible for your child(ren). You
need to address the note to the homeroom teacher and Mr. Nauhaus.
You will need a note even if the person designated to get your
child(ren) is another Falk Parent!! If you forget to send a
note, or if an emergency arises, you may call the After School
office, the school office, or your child's homeroom teacher
(classroom phone lists are sent home each year) to inform us.
Our top priority is the safety of your child(ren). Also,
be sure that the person picking up your child(ren) is aware
of the sign-out policy and the location of the sign out so
that your billing statement will be correct.

Billing
The charge to parents is $5.00 per hour. This fee is subject to change if the income generated by the service does not cover the costs of the program. Participants of the program will be notified in advance of any changes in fees.
Billing statements are sent out on a monthly basis and payment
is due within two weeks after receipt. "Late Fee Policy" for Child Care after 6:00pm will be $5.00 for each 5-minute period or part of a 5-minute period past 6:00pm. The purpose for this policy is twofold. First, it is necessary to offset the increased cost of late child care. Second, it is an effort to encourage timely pick-ups.
"New Policy" - Late Pickup Fee Falk School recognizes that occasional emergencies mandate late pickup from After School. Personnel are only scheduled until 6:00pm, and habitual lateness presents a problem of coverage for our students. Therefore, a $25 late fee will be charged after the third late pickup.
