Aftercare

At St. Bernard Academy, our Aftercare program is designed to ensure an enriching, convenient, and successful after-school experience for students and parents.

Licensed through the Department of Education, students in Aftercare build community, engage in physical activities, and use their imaginations even after the final bell rings for the school day.

Schedule

• All students will receive a nut-free snack upon arrival. Students may bring a snack from home as well. Snacks will not be shared.
   
• Once all students have checked into Aftercare, each group will have scheduled times to be outside, weather permitting, in the Gym/MPR, and inside.  
   
• Each day will be a slightly different schedule to ensure that all grade levels have equal time inside and outside.

   

Pick-Up

• JK-K parents will knock on the door and wait on the grass if the students are inside. If they are outside when parents arrive, parents will wait on the dismissal pad while a staff member helps their student gather their belongings inside to leave. This includes rainy days
   
• 1st-8th Level parents will wait in the courtyard for their students. We’ll ask that they be mindful of other parents waiting and to maintain social distancing. This includes rainy days.
   
• If families have kids upstairs and downstairs, we will send the older student through the small playground to meet their family on the dismissal pad to avoid walking in the halls.
   
• No parents will sign out on the computer system. A staff member will verify who is picking up, document it, and sign out on their behalf on the computer system later.
   
• On rainy days, parents may call the Aftercare number at (615) 298-1298 to have students begin to gather their belongings and then meet them in their designated area once they are ready.
