2008 Program

Dear Parents,

Rio del Mar Elementary School's After School Program will begin on Monday, August 18th. Our program will run from 2:05 – 4:25 p.m. On Wednesdays the program will run until 2:05 p.m. The primary purpose of this program is to help students with homework and provide academic support and interventions for students that are falling behind grade level standards.

The program will continue to consist of an hour of tutorial/homework support. If your child completes all of their homework they will participate in an hour of enrichment activities to support student learning. Students are to be honest regarding finishing their homework. If they are not, they will lose fun enrichment class opportunities for two weeks. Enrichment activities will consist of: Sports Leagues, Music, Guitar, Computers, Piano, Chess, Ceramics, Arts and Crafts, Actor's Theater, African Drumming, Games and more! Rio’s After School is an open enrollment program and this means that your child may come any day we are in session.

*For those students who take the bus: there will be a free after school bus that will pick up the students at 4:15 p.m. There will be no Watsonville stops this year and the last stop will be in La Selva. If you have a transportation problem/concern please call: 728-6324.

**Please remember to pick up your child promptly each day at 4:15 p.m. After three warnings for getting picked up late, your child will be required to take the free after school bus home.

*There will be no after school program on Fridays or during Parent/Teacher Conferences in October. Snacks and drinks will be provided each day.

*When school begins, please send a check for $220 for each child to attend Rio’s After School Program. If you prefer, you may send $110 now and $110 after winter break. This fee helps pay for a Reading Specialist, Math Specialist, staff, supplies, curriculum, books, equipment, prizes and much more. Scholarships are available for students in need. This one time fee is a small sum compared to the hundreds of dollars you would pay at other programs each month. Checks are preferred and they should be made out to the RDM Parent Alliance.

Cordially,

AFTER SCHOOL NEWS

Dear Parents,
Our program will begin on Monday, August 18th. There will be a couple of changes in regards to the busing at Rio Del Mar. The program will end and the bus will leave at 4:15 p.m. instead of 4:25 p.m. We had to make this change in order to keep the free bus. Also, there will be no more bus stops in Watsonville. A more detailed post about our program will be coming soon. The after school sign-up letter will be sent home the first week of school.
Enjoy the rest of the summer!
Mr. Sweet
Rio del Mar

AFTER SCHOOL NEWS

Dear Parents,
Our last day of the after school program will be Thursday, May 15th. The program will resume next year on Monday, August 25th. At this point, our program will be cut by $5000. This may change after the state budget is clarified. Actually, this is good news as we were prepared for much worse...This means that the fees for the program will remain the same as this year.

Please let me know if you have any questions

Sincerely,
Martin Sweet
Teacher/After School Coordinator/Summer School Principal
