Tuesday Afternoon Program Information

INTRODUCTION: Introducing the After-School Adventures program on Tuesday afternoons! This program is for elementary school participants in Grades K-5. This structured & unstructured time will encourage participants to explore new interests and improve their social and communication skills. Over the sessions we will learn and play new group games, tackle STEM challenges and explore different types of seasonal craft projects. 

SESSION DATES:
Session 1: September 3 - September 24
Session 2: October 1 - October 22
Session 3: October 29 - November 26 (No Program on November 5)

PROGRAM TIMES AND LOCATION: 
Program Time: 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Program Location: Academy Building Cafeteria

INCLEMENT WEATHER AND CANCELLATIONS: There may be times where the program will be cancelled due to the weather. Cancellations due to weather will be based on the decision of the schools as follows: 

  • If schools are closed for the day, the program will automatically be cancelled. Refunds will be given for any days missed. 
  • If schools cancel all after school activities, the program will automatically be cancelled. Refunds will be given for any days missed. 
  • In the event of a delayed opening, the program will be held as scheduled unless otherwise noted. 
  • Parks and Recreation also has the right to cancel based on weather dependent on the forecast. 

PICK-UP AND DROP-OFF: Drop-off and pick-up will be held directly in the Academy Cafeteria. Drop-off will begin at 4:00 p.m. and pick-up must be by 6:00 p.m. Parking is available by "Door A, B and C (back of building)". Signage will direct you to where the cafeteria is located. 

ATTENDANCE: If you are aware that your child will not be participating in the After-School Adventures program on a specific day, please let the Program Director know by emailing mindy.brown@glastonburyct.gov. 

If you plan on picking your child up early (5:45 p.m. or before), please tell the Site Leader by writing a note, or by sending an email to the Program Director at mindy.brown@glastonburyct.gov. 

WHAT YOUR CHILD NEEDS: Very little is needed for After-School Adventures! Please make sure participants have water, one or two snacks and comfortable attire dependent on weather! Please note that the After-School Adventures program could be outdoors for portions of the afternoon, weather dependent. 

LATE FEES: A late fee will be charged to the Parent/Guardians picking up their child after the set pickup time for the program. A 10-minute grace period will be given and then a fee of $15 will be charged after the 10-minute grace period. Another $15 charge will occur after every 15 minutes late that a child is not picked up. This fee may be paid in cash to the staff members waiting with your child or you may choose to be billed in MyRec.

REFUNDS: To avoid classes being cancelled at the last minute due to insufficient enrollment and in order to accommodate waiting lists in a timely fashion, refund requests must be made no later than five (5) business days before the program begins. Refund requests will not be considered after this time unless accompanied by a doctor's note.
