After School Recreation, Day Camps, and After School Enrichment
NOTE TO ALL FAMILIES: All families must agree to the Rec Parent Policies each year even if you do not plan to use the program in case you need to use it on an emergency basis. This agreement is included in the online back-to-school paperwork.
GRACE PERIOD: All students will be signed into Rec, and assessed any relevant fees, if they are not picked up AND removed from the general rec area within 10 minutes of the end of school. We have done everything we can to make Rec affordable. The 10-minute grace period is not negotiable. Please do not argue with our staff about late pick-ups. Even if you are on campus, if your student is still on campus after 10-minutes, they will be signed into Rec. Our staff need to get paid for their time and efforts, and your compliance with this policy helps the whole school run more smoothly.
SIGN-OUT: When you sign your student out from Rec, you must leave campus. Students still on campus after sign-out will be signed back in and families will be responsible for any resulting fees.
COMMUNICATION: You can communicate with all Rec staff at once with the email [email protected]. The coordinator for Preschool Rec is Linda Handley. The coordinators for Big Rec are Kim Sakellis and Abi Camarillo.

Little Rec for Preschoolers
Overview: Little Rec serves preschool children from 12:10 to 2:45 daily. All the children in the program must be able to use the bathroom independently. The program provides outside, screen-free play separated from older students. Food: Children should be sent with a substantial healthy lunch each day they are participating in Little Rec. Pickup: Families must sign children out at pickup each day. Families who are picking up a preschooler and an older sibling at 2:45 should pick up the younger sibling at 2:40 so that staff can begin cleaning up from the program in a timely manner. Enrollment: The number of spaces available in Little Rec each day will be limited, so families must sign up in advance in order to ensure a spot in the program. Drop in attendance will be an option only if space is available. Big Rec for Transitional Kindergarteners through Sixth Graders
Transitional kindergarteners through sixth graders can participate in Big Rec. The program hours are:
A snack will be served at approximately 3:30 each day. Families, especially of young children, should send additional healthy snacks as needed. Families must sign students out at pickup each day. Vacation Day Camp
Pacific School offers vacation day camp for TK-6th grade* students. Camp days during the school year are listed on the school calendar. Vacation camp hours are 8:15 to 3:00 and after-camp rec is available at the usual rec rates from 3:00-5:15. Like the rec programs, camp will be screen-free and take place primarily outside. Food is NOT provided on day camp days. Families must provide students with substantial healthy snacks and lunches. *We have concluded that preschool students need more supervision and a different daily structure than is provided at camp. Fees, Billing, and Late Pick-Ups
Billing & Payment: If applicable, families will be invoiced by email and should pay promptly. The office can only accept cash and checks. (We have extensively researched options to accept credit cards, however, all of them result in audit challenges, excessive extra work for the staff, and therefore, ultimately, extra costs to families.) Autopay: If your family regularly uses Rec, you are encouraged to estimate your approximate monthly bill and set up autopay through your bank each month, August-April. Then in May or June we can settle up your final bill. Unpaid Balances: Families who accrue unpaid balances for any Pacific School program may be asked to stop participating in that program until the balance is paid in full. Please do your part and reduce the workload for the office staff by paying all fees promptly. The fees for the recreation program depend on your family's situation:

Tutoring/Homework Help
Pacific School works with the Davenport Resource Service Center to offer tutoring/homework help after school to qualified 2nd-6th grade students. Tutors work with students on homework, reading, English language, and other skills as needed. Students are expected to stay for their entire tutoring appointment each week, regardless of whether they have completed their homework. Pacific School is very grateful for efforts of the Davenport Resource Service Center, which make the tutoring program possible. |

Summer Day Camp
Due to planned construction projects, Pacific School will collaborate with another location to provide summer day camp. Students who are enrolled at Pacific School in TK-5th grade in the previous school year and who qualify for Recreation Rate A (see above) can attend summer camp for free, thanks to a grant from the state. (This offer does not apply to children of staff members who would not otherwise qualify for rec rate A.) All other students must pay full tuition. |

Traditionally, Pacific School offers an after school chorus program. For various reasons, chorus has been on hold, but the Board and Parents' Club hope that the program will be able to return in the future. |
