What do I need to know?

• Free Emergency Child Care will be available weekdays, 9 AM to 3:45 PM, Wednesday, March 18, through Thursday, March 26, at all RPS elementary schools.

• Fee-Based Extended care is available 6:30 AM to 9 AM and 3:45 PM to 6 PM for children enrolled in Emergency Child Care.

• Students will participate at the elementary school they currently attend; 12-year-olds who are beyond elementary school should attend at their neighborhood elementary school or where younger siblings attend.

• Breakfast and lunch will be available through Student Nutrition Services using your child’s lunch account, except for sites that qualify to provide free meals under the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

• Parents/guardians may choose to send a lunch with their child.

• For arrangements regarding special dietary needs (e.g., food allergies), please contact the RPS Dietician at (507) 328-4250.

• School Health Offices will be open during normal school hours to handle most medications and health concerns.

• When Health Offices are not open, Extended Care staff will provide support for certain medications (e.g., epi pens, Benadryl, time-sensitive ADHD meds). You can provide this information when you register.

• Emergency Child Care will provide transportation to/from school for care during normal school hours (pick-ups likely 8-9 AM, drop-offs likely 3:45-4:45 PM) for students who normally qualify for school transportation.

• Parents who require Extended Care before or after normal school hours must provide transportation.

• Participants must be fever free, must not have had direct exposure in the last fourteen days to an individual who has tested positive for COVID-19, and must not have traveled themselves in the last fourteen days to a country with a Level III Travel Health Notice by the Centers for Disease Control.

• Group child care carries inherent risks because of its nature as a congregate activity. By signing up for Emergency Child Care and/or Extended Care, I understand I am accepting the risks inherent in this activity and releasing Rochester Public Schools from all claims of injury that result from participation in Emergency Child Care and/or Extended Care.
