A Day in PRCS After-School Programs Arrival from School Board games, coloring pages, legos, & various age-appropriate activities are set out for the participants to engage with while children are arriving & getting checked in. Each child is checked in on brightwheel and has a daily health check. If the staff feels the child is not well, or has a fever of 100 degrees or more, recurring vomiting, or diarrhea, the parent will be asked to take the child home. To allow a child to attend while sick, or before complete recovery, is individually harmful and exposes the entire group to the risk of infection. Snack Our after-school programs provide a daily USDA approved snack. All snack menus are posted for parental information at each site. All children must wash their hands before and after snack. Since we do not supply food for special diets, religious, or medical reasons, parents are required to provide such food for their child. Parents must provide documentation identifying the reason for the special diet and the diet must comply with the USDA nutritional guidelines. Due to supply, the menu provided may change for snacks. Staff will note any known changes on the daily menu posted on-site. Please note, due to allergy restrictions, after-school participants may not share their snack with other children. If sending your child with snacks, please include the child’s name and date on each snack item. Additionally, water bottles must be labeled with your child’s name. Active Time Outdoor play is an important part of the PRCS After-School daily schedule. Age-appropriate active games and sports help build the confidence of each child. In the gym or on the playground, PRCS offers active play time and designates at least 30 minutes of the program time for physical activity for every child.
