Late registration is permitted only if space is available. The session is full if the session box is missing from the scheduling calendar on SchoolCare Works. Registration cut-off using SchoolCare Works Family Portal is 12:00 pm for the following day.

Same day registration in the Before & After School program is permitted if space is available. Parents must speak directly with the program director before 2:00 pm. ECS programs can no longer accept same day registration after 2:00 pm.

DROP INS

All children must be registered, and fees paid before they attend. If a child is enrolled with the program, but not specifically registered for a particular day or session, he/she is considered a drop-in and is not permitted to attend any ECS programs. Because of safety and ratio requirements, if an unregistered child is present during attendance, a staff member will call the child’s parents and/or emergency contacts to pick him or her up immediately. The child will wait in the front office until an authorized person arrives to pick up the children.

Behavioral Policy

Children participating in the District’s ECS Programs are entitled to access age-appropriate activities in a safe school environment. ECS programs operated by the Cherry Creek School District are subject to district policies governing discipline. The program director and staff will enforce school district policies and procedures regarding the supervision and management of a safe environment.

When behavior occurs which disrupts or threatens to disrupt the operation of the program, interferes in any way with the rights and privileges of others, endangers the health or safety of any person, or damages property, staff members will respond accordingly using progressive disciplinary steps and techniques, prioritizing those that are constructive or educational in nature. When necessary, staff members will give a verbal warning and attempt to redirect the child. When appropriate, a meeting may be held with the child’s parent/guardian and appropriate school officials to address the child’s needs and develop strategies or a behavior/safety plan to support the child’s attendance in the program.

If unacceptable behavior continues, a conduct report will be issued, and parent or guardian will be notified. Children who receive three (3) conduct reports within a school year may be suspended from the ECS program for 5 days. Children who receive four (4) conduct reports within a school year may be dismissed from the ECS program for the remainder of the school year, including summer full-day programs. Children who leave school property without permission may be subject to immediate dismissal from the program. The program director, in collaboration with Administrative supervision, reserves the right to suspend or dismiss any child who is a threat to him/herself or others in the program without prior warning or intervention.
