Please dress your child according to the weather conditions. During periods of extreme heat or extreme cold, PRCS staff will follow National Weather Service alerts for determining safe outdoor activities. If any alerts indicate extreme weather, warning, or unsafe air quality, programs will remain indoors. Creative Time Each after-school program offers an enriching curriculum that incorporates STEM, Kindness Culture, arts and crafts, special guests, and a wide variety of activities to stimulate your child’s curiosity and boost their creativity and self-esteem. Homework/Quiet Time At least 30 minutes of quiet time is offered to focus on homework, reading, or a quiet activity to inspire creativity and challenge each child’s small motor skills. Free Play or Structured Time Structured gym games, board games, STEM activities, coloring, and other engaging offerings are available for children to learn new things and discover their own unique skills. Check in, Check out, and Communication All after-school programs use Brightwheel for daily check-in, check-out, and communication with parents. Once you are enrolled you will receive an invite in your email you used to register from Brightwheel. There is a free app that can be downloaded on any smartphone. All listed authorized pick-ups must be entered in your brightwheel account in order to pick up your child. Each authorized pick-up will be assigned a unique pin, which is used to sign the participant out of the program. Here are the steps to follow to activate your brightwheel account: 1. Create a free brightwheel account. Please wait until you receive an invitation via email or text, and create a free parent account using either the web or mobile app. Make sure to use the same email address or cell phone number that the invitation was sent to. Here is a quick video overview: Brightwheel for Guardians 2. Confirm your child’s profile. You will see your child’s profile after you create an account. You will not be able to activate your account until you have received an invitation from brightwheel (not PRCS). If you need an invite sent and have not received one yet, please notify us at CASA@loudoun.gov. 3. Set up your account preferences. You can adjust your notification preferences within your profile settings on the app. You can also add authorized pick-ups to your account. Authorized pick-ups do not need the app, but you will need to let them know what their unique assigned 4-digit pin is. All authorized pick-ups must present photo ID.
