First Five Years & Beyond After School Program Registration
Registration is underway! In addition to the registration form below, please complete the attached parental consent/medical authorization form. A waiting list will be maintained once the program has filled.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To provide a positive, enriching experience for children in the hours after school while in a safe, structured, and supervised environment. Children in grades K-8 in King County are eligible to register for the program.

STARTING DATE: The program starts on September, 2022 and is held every Tuesday & Wednesday and Make-up on Saturdays with the exception of holidays and any day both First Five Years & Beyond and schools are not in session.

HOMEWORK POLICY: Homework time is scheduled during the After School Program in addition to other activities. During this time staff members and volunteers are available to answer homework questions and provide help. We do not guarantee that all homework is completed or correct. You and your child should review their homework at home. Here are some tips to help make sure your child’s homework time is a success: 1. Remind your child of your expectations regarding homework. 2. If students say they have no homework an alternate assignment will be given to them (i.e. math practice, reading or writing assignments). 3. Remind your child to bring their homework with them from class to the After School Program and to turn in their homework the following day. 4. Encourage your child to ask for help from staff and volunteers when they need it. 5. Please remind your child that homework time is quiet time.

STRUCTURED ACTIVITIES: Activities of the program may include STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) projects; arts/crafts, growth-mindset training, coding (code.org), board games, etc. There is snack time at the beginning of each scheduled day when the children first arrive from school. Children may bring their own snacks.

STUDENT CONDUCT: Students are expected to maintain the same behavioral standard that they would have during the formal school day. The FFYB staff on duty will notify parents of inappropriate behavior. If gross misbehavior or a repeated violation of the rules occurs, parents will be required to withdraw their child from the program.

IMPORTANT! NON-ATTENDANCE: Please notify us on the WhatsApp page or at 206-832-6518  if your child will not be attending the program that day. To be considered "ACTIVE" youth must attend at least 3 online sessions and 3 in-person per month in order to qualify for the restaurant gift card and Gas gift card monthly.  If attendance requirement is not met in (2) consecutive months, families will have to return the loaned IPADS so that it is given to other participants who meet attendance requirements. 

PICK-UP PROCEDURE: Only parents and those authorized by parents, in writing at the time of registration, are allowed to pick up children. Parents may designate additional escorts by submitting written authorization or placing a phone call on the given day to the FFYB staff on duty as necessary. Children must be picked up by 6:00pm otherwise it is considered late. After three (3) late pick-ups, we may suspend enrollment. These procedures will be strictly enforced. Parents/guardians also must notify us if their child will be absent (see above).
