Program Procedures
	Classroom Opening Times: The Homeschool Enrichment Program begins at 9 a.m. These classrooms are open for arrival no earlier than 8:50 a.m. If a child needs to be dropped off earlier than the stated arrival time, please contact the Director of Extended Day Programs to arrange childcare. Children may not wait alone in the hallways. Classroom Pick-Up Times: Students in the Homeschool Enrichment Program are dismissed at 2:30 p.m. Children in this program who are not picked up by 2:40 p.m. will be taken to the designated Extended Aftercare school room. Lunches: Children learn best when their brains and bodies are supplied with good nutrients. Food that is served to children (brought from home and otherwise) for lunches and snacks should be nutritious and wholesome. Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are ideal. Sodas, candy, and sweets shouldn't be a part of regular meals. Highly processed foods should also be avoided. Every classroom has access to a refrigerator to store lunch items that need to be refrigerated and a microwave oven to warm up lunches that need to be heated. Items for the refrigerator or microwave should be in appropriate containers with the child’s name clearly marked on the container. Parents should also provide a drink for their children. Emergency Closing Policy: We make every attempt to stay open during inclement weather, but when needed, school closings or schedule changes will be shared through our AlertNow auto-notification system. In the event of an unexpected closing or delay, you will receive phone calls and emails to the contact information that has been provided to the school. We will also add closing information to the WMS website (www.wmsde.org) and Twitter feed (www.twitter.com/wmsde).
