Commitment

The Kid’s Club Program is self-supporting and is not subsidized by the school or parish.  Therefore, in order to meet the operating costs, we must follow the schedule even if the parent or guardian would pick up their child before the end of the meeting day.  This program has been designed to help the working parent(s) as well as provide a fun atmosphere for all SMOW students to engage in after school.  It is not intended to be a baby-sitting service, a day here and a day there.

Club Membership Dues

Each club member must commit to a monthly membership.  You may commit to for a semester if you would like.  You may sign up for our club meetings on a weekly or a daily schedule per semester.  Our meetings run from 2:50 until 6:00, Monday through Friday.  Our club meetings will be held on all full school days throughout the school year.  Our dues will be collected on a quarterly basis.  Each member will be charged a flat rate of $15 per day.  Each additional family member will receive a club discount of $5, being only $10 per day.  If a registered member has a change in schedule and chooses to drop-in for an unscheduled day, his or her daily dues that day are $20.  This member must also have written permission from his or her parent or guardian.  You only pay for the days that your child attends program. 

If a member is involved in one of the SMOW after-school enrichment programs, his or her club dues for that day are a flat rate of $10.  Each club member’s parent or guardian will be responsible for signing their member out on a daily basis.   Club registration forms can be found in the school office.

Kids Club Discount Volunteer Incentive

As an added bonus if you or a surrogate, volunteer for one day a month (minimum of 2 hrs) then you will qualify for a discount rate of $10/day and each additional family member will be $7.00 a day.  Please note that all volunteers must go through Virtus training and a background check. 

Accidents/Emergencies
The Kid’s Club program will follow the accident and emergency procedures as stated in the school handbook. 

Safe Releases

For the safety of our club members, the school doors are locked.  Therefore, please ring the bell near the gym entrance.  Also, all parents and guardians must sign out their club member (including time of pick-up) each day.

Absences

If your child is absent from school, our school secretary will notify the Kid’s Club Staff.  If you have a change in your plans and your club member is unable to attend a specific day he or she is signed-up for, we ask that you send a written note to the SMOW office.

Activities

In order for your club member(s) to attend an activity conflicting with the times of Kid’s Club, you must complete an authorization form.  The activity must be on St. Mary of the Wood grounds.  Your club member will be charged a flat rate of $10 for Kid’s Club ($7.00 for all other family members) if he or she is involved in a conflicting activity at SMOW after school.  Your club member (s) may not participate in the Kid’s Club program on days when they have activities at other locations.
