Program follows the district school calendar.
Program begins at time of school dismissal until 6:00 p.m. (including early dismissal days).
If there is an emergency or a situation out of a parents’/guardians’ control that will cause a delay in pick up, parents/guardians are asked to contact the program lead (830-570-0378) as soon as possible informing of the late pick up and/or any pick up arrangements that have been made.
Pick-ups before 4 pm must be through the Primary FRONT OFFICE
Pick-ups after 6pm may result in dismissal from the BtB program.
If a parent/guardian is more than 30 minutes late and no contact has been made between parent/guardian and after school staff, the proper authorities will be notified.

Snacks will provided by the campus cafeteria. Students are allowed to bring their own healthy snacks. Sodas are not allowed.

The program will provide activities that are safe, fun, and recreational.  After enjoying a healthy snack, and completing their homework, the children will participate in a variety of structured activities.  Some activities include board games, indoor games, outdoor sports, and literacy activities. High school students and adults will be working with the children  

Any personal belongings such as toys or valuables will not be allowed.

If a child becomes ill while in our after school care, we will:
Contact the parent to pick up the child immediately
Follow procedures in Campus Handbook

No medications will be dispensed. The only exceptions are medications for recurring medical conditions such as Epi-pens or inhalers. All required paperwork will be obtained from the campus nurse.

If a child becomes injured while in our care and requires immediate medical attention, we will:
Contact the child’s parent/guardian; and if necessary
Contact emergency medical service.

If the Pleasanton school district is closed for bad weather, the after school program will be closed as well.

Parents may pick up before 6:00 pm and must pick up BY 6:00 pm.
Pick-ups before 4 pm must be through the Primary FRONT OFFICE
All children must be signed out upon departure by the parent/guardian or person authorized to pickup the child.
A CHILD MAY BE PICKED UP ONLY BY THOSE AUTHORIZED ON THE REGISTRATION FORM. Any person picking up a child should expect to be asked to show a photo I.D. before the child is released. This is for the safety of all children. Parents/guardians who pick up their children regularly and are recognized by current staff may not always be asked to show identification.
If the unlikely situation occurs that a parent/guardian must allow a student to be picked up by someone not on the Registration Form, the parent/guardian must provide a signed written note stating the details of the request. The program lead will call the parent before releasing the child. The note will be placed in the child’s file and a photo I.D. will be required before the child is released.

Children will be expected to follow PISD’s Student Code of Conduct.
Children may be withdrawn from the program at the discretion of program Lead. Reasons for withdrawal may include:
Behavior: If at any time a child’s physical, emotional, or social behavior becomes a serious distraction or danger to him/herself or other children, the child may be withdrawn from the program.
Lack of Current Emergency Contact Information: It is very important that our staff is able to contact the parent/guardian of the children in our program when necessary. A child may be withdrawn from the program if our staff is not provided current working phone numbers or not returning phone calls in a timely manner.

Parents/guardians are asked to submit a written notice of intent to withdraw a child from the program.

For concerns, please contact the program lead rather than the campus office staff since our program is separate from the regular day.
