Reminders about CatCH

• Our Fall session will run September 8th-November 20th. Unless you hear otherwise, we will not meet on early-release and teacher-inservice days.

• Afternoons begin with a snack at 2:45 pm and continue with "choice time" (indoor or outdoor recess). This time is followed by specific 1-hour activities that families chose during registration. Each activity is a weekly commitment, and students should only enroll if they are interested. We cannot provide general childcare for students who are not interested in the activity.

• A late bus is available for those who need it. A route and schedule will be posted below by September 4th. For parent pick-up, please use the front loop between 4:45pm and 5:00 pm.

• Groups are sometimes off campus. If you need to pick up your student before 4:45, please call or text us using the phone # at the bottom of this page. If you don't call ahead of time, you may have to wait a while for your child.
