Programs for Families Picking up Your Child
Parents or approved pick-ups must arrange to pick up children by program closing times. CASA closes at 6pm, and YAS closes at 6:15pm. Please note that staff are not permitted to send your child to meet you from another location. If you arrive at the site and your child is with their group at another location, such as the gym or playground, you must pick your child up from that location and confirm with the staff that they have been checked out. Absences or Schedule Change Accounting for all children at all times is imperative to PRCS programs. Failure to notify staff of the absence prior to the beginning of the program or provide written notification to the Site Supervisor may result in calling 911 to report a missing child. Please do not rely on Loudoun County Public Schools to notify CASA or YAS of any absence. Parents are encouraged to use Brightwheel, text or voicemail to send staff messages, including absences or schedule changes. If your child will be arriving late to the program, a caregiver (non-CASA Staff) must be able to sign your child in. Loudoun County Public School Absenses While our after-school programs are not sponsored by Loudoun County Public Schools, PRCS will follow LCPS policies on the following: 1. Any child who is suspended or expelled from LCPS is ineligible to attend CASA or YAS until they return to school. 2. If a sick child stays home from school for the day, they are not permitted to attend CASA or YAS the same day. School Closings and Weather After-school programs operate with the Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) calendar. After-school programs will be closed on days there is no school or if there is an early dismissal for weather related or other reasons. Please note: CASA and YAS are not considered a LCPS after-school activity. When school is in session until normal dismissal hours, CASA and YAS will be open. Parents and school officials are responsible for implementing any emergency pick-up arrangements during school hours. CASA and YAS will continue to remain open when LCPS announces that after-school activities are canceled. If weather conditions worsen during after- school hours, site staff may contact parents to pick up participants earlier than normal. PRCS staff will always remain on site until all participants have been picked up.
